JeepInTheSand Posted October 26, 2025 Share Posted October 26, 2025 Hey there good people - Happy Sunday! My name is Rajeev. I've lived here in Dubai for the last 12 years. Never done any "off-roading" during my time here but have been munching on it for years ... but I hope it's time now! A couple of weeks ago, I set out to look for a "manual" wrangler but soon realized it's easier said than done. Pivoted and took the plunge this weekend - a '23 Rubicon! I'd love to learn the desert and do a few rides. Figured I'd let my stock jeep settle in for a few 100Ks before signing up for a course with you good Carnity people! Been reading through some of the posts here - and excited! I hope I do run into some of you at some point. -Rajeev 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederic Posted October 26, 2025 Share Posted October 26, 2025 Welcome to Carnity @JeepInTheSand ! My first question: Is it a manual? 😁 We are quite rare in the club See you soon in the sand Rajeev, it's an absolute beauty! 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

JeepInTheSand Posted October 27, 2025 Author Share Posted October 27, 2025 Thank you @Luke K P, @Frederic & @Ishak - appreciate the messages so much! Looking forward! @Frederic - I wish! Regrettably, the few leads on "manual"s I chased all had close to ~180K. That may not be a bad thing - but with no 4x4 experience, I didn't want to pursue! Perhaps, one day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
