Thanks for the quick response @Kuba Roszyk ! I have added you to the going list because i have expanded the RSVP total. Main reason for this expansion is the fact that this is a gentle overlanding style of drive, so the plan is to keep it easy. In combination with the helpful support i have i was able to extend the convoy to a bigger size.

@Frederic, many thanks for the update!  I have just spotted that the timing of the event also changed (from 11 til 11:30).  Is it a hard stop or there is a chance we could finish earlier?  My wife reminded me of some other (less interesting) commitments on Saturday so if we finish 11/11:30, I may have to drop this time   Will def join next week though!

Ouch. For most of our drives the exit time is "tentative" because there could be some stucks, breakdowns, or other things that might extend the regular timing. In this case because it's a long convoy i do expect it will be easily 11.30 by the time we exit, and the exit is planned to be in Faqa, which is a bit of a drive back to Dubai.

If the other commitment is fixed, its better not to take any chances. There will be plenty more drives in the coming winter season. I leave it up to you to decide if it's worth taking your chance

Hi Frederic,

2024 2dr Rubicon light blue.

0 off-road experience.

Front and read tow hook confirmed.

DO NOT have safety flag, radio, or air compressor

I have watched the newbie video briefing.

I have not had the time to go somewhere and leave the car to get aircompressor installed. This is all new to me tbh. I might have time on Friday. I was told to go to international city for the 3 items.

I called Jeepers and was quoted 2900 for their inhouse air compressor brand which would be onboard installed under the passenger seat.

I was frankly hoping someone could help me with deflating with their gear for the 1st ride. I wanted to look for cheaper place to get it done, and ask other riders where they got theirs done.

If not possible that way, I need ro contact Jeepers and make appointment for tomorrow.
