Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Sweihan Desert Series - Abu Dhabi - 14 Dec 2024

@M.Seidam Apologies, I will not able to make it this morning. Wake up late😔.

Hi All,

thank you @M.Seidam for the drive. Beautiful area and great pace.

observing 392 covering half of the dessert in 2H was impressive!

sadly towards the end I found a bump and lost a fog light, and @Bjoern damaged his control arm in the same spot. But we are all safe and thanks to support we exited safely. I hope the dent in the pocket will be smaller than on the car…

Indeed it was a lovely drive despite the unfortunate event with @Bjoern and apparently with @Andrei S which I learned about it just when you commented above . In the desert nothing is certain and the wild will always keep for us something in its store even I realised at the end of the drive that I was driving on springs and my shocks were gone !

nevertheless the chilly goosebumps in the morning was gone with the first crest of @khlief As we got the chance to exercise shoveling it. After that he was more courageous as a first Fb plusser 😄

When I came back to check the V8 beast wrangler from its position I knew the 4wD was not engaged thanks to @Mark B when noted the trick . Also thanks to him pulling me from the mixed construction sand before the track . 
 

Heading in line toward NAGRA now the flow was fast and fluid till just less than km to NAGRA I decided to exit as it was not a good idea to continue with a bent control arm and gone shocks . Safely back to the starting point. 
 

I would like to thank every one of you for sharing the passion and the support team for all the help and giudance . Till the next episode of the SDS ( Sweihan Desert Series ) take care and wish good time .

Thank you @M.Seidam - I think that was my first time driving with you. I really enjoyed it, nice routing through the sand and a fun mix of terrains. It was also good to help our friends exit the desert slowly and safely, and hopefully some easy fixes at the garage this week!

Hi all, wanted to share my joy with you and especially with @M.Seidam and @Mark B for their support. Just picked up my Jeep and she is stronger than ever before. Had some upgrades done and my favorite workshop did a great job! I look forward to our next drive!

[ChrisW]

Look forward to seeing these mods soon @Bjoern! Glad to hear all is well.
