Al Qudra, Pink Rock, Fossil Rock... after attending multiple drives in these common areas, I've realized how disrespectfully people are treating to desert. Reckless people leaving their garbage on desert... I remember seeing a garbage collection drive organized by Carnity on Youtube or on a thread. So how about we organize a garbage collection drive again? Since the number of members significant now. We can do a great cleaning. Multiple convoys with 4-5 cars to maximize cleaning area. We can even do this as a repeating event maybe in every month...I don't know if summer is suitable for this though... What do you guys think?6 points

Hereby I want to thank everybody for the birthday wishes and what a nice birthday present to receive in your e-mail box, that is what I call a surprise. Didn't expect the upgrade, I was enjoying the drives with helping out. When I started I was only excited for the rough stuff, but soon it became "normal". Once in a while it is excited to stretch your leg and push your car to the limit, but off-roading offers more then only going full throttle through the desert. I found my peace with helping out the Marshalls and analysing which mistakes the new joiners make. This keeps me busy in my mind and silently I am trying to understand how these mistakes could be avoided. Still, I have a lot to learn. The most difficult part of Off-roading is to instruct and teach others the technique and skills of this hobby. If somebody gets stuck, it might be easy in our eyes to get the car out of the situation. Many times, If we would jump behind the steering wheel, we could get the car out of it in a relative short time. But this is the art, now try to help and teach a person what he did wrong and get him/her out of the situation by him/herself. This is now my occupation and goal, how can I help others to become a better driver, I have a long way to go. Hereby I would like to thank @Rahimdad @Srikumar @Gaurav @Frederic @Emmanuel for the tips and tricks and the fine tuning of my skills. Please don't underestimate these guys. Of course also to the other members and drivers thank you for being together and having nice drives. See you soon, Inshallah. Xaf5 points

Congratulations @Ale Vallecchi. You are a true gentleman and off-road enthusiast. I still remember when we first met at 2nd December Cafe and you needed a tire pressure gauge. I invited you to join us at that time, you surely took your time. However I am glad you joined and are enjoying yourself by expressing yourself openly. Really happy that you are part of our team and family to take this sport in a positive direction. Congratulations on making it to the advanced level, well deserved.4 points

Hi Ale, congrats. I would like to take this opportunity for all the drivers to have a moment and realise what is possible with a stock car. Ale's car is a stock FJ cruiser, correct me if I am wrong @Ale Vallecchi. I know Ale's driving style, we are a bit like Yin and Yang, good cop/ bad cop, Laurel and Hardy, how you want to call it. Where I am aggressive and push it, chases somebody's rear bumper, push a bit harder till the rev limiter, Ale is delicate, Italian scenery with style and romance, with fair and style. And still, he achieves the same, only his car is stock, mine is modified. After the drives, I am pushing back my bumpers in place, unfolding my license plate, Ale is inflating his tires and drives back home. You are a good driver and every time when we go a bit rough, I respect it what you do with your FJ cruiser. Yes, I loose you sometimes in my back mirror, but I don't ask for it anymore, because I know you'll find me back :). This is a show of respect to your driving style. Xaf3 points

Hi @Frederic, this is Angela (Jamy's co-pilot). I wanted to join this drive but the limit is reached although some drivers have joined 2 different drives and I was led to believe that @Gaurav requested they were to join one drive only so that others, like me, could join at least one. Can I be added to the waiting list in case anyone drops out?3 points

AOR suction mount (~ 250AED)is pretty sturdy provided the seal is on clean surface/glass. Best is to use few drops of water for a tight seal which will not fall off while driving. AOR flag ( ~ 200AED)is heavy but of the best quality . If you can get some custom made flag mount brackets (see picture attached , it is for a roof rack)probably will work out cheaper and sturdy. But you will have to check if it suits your vehicle3 points

Congratulations @Ale Vallecchi. In the last few drives I saw plenty of recovery tug from you as it feels like you are a superhero with a rope in the trunk of FJ. Whenever someone stucks his/her car, instantly you are there and doing the tug with necessary gentleness.3 points

I had a special mount installed. No direct experience with suction mounts, but I have seen most of them hold well enough.3 points

Happy birthday @Xaf and congratulations on your promotion. Very well deserved. I have a soft corner for Dutch people and you're part of another group we belong to, so all the more happy to have a fellow like you promoted to the Advanced level.

Happy birthday and on top of that this promotion. Who said 2020 was a lost year ? π€£ Congrats Xaf, youβre a quick learner and you understood that the more drives you do, the more experience you build up. And that includes sweeping in Newbie drives and being around for overall support. Those duties have brought you maturity and people looking up to you as a senior member and a guy that knows what heβs talking about. Looking forward to many more drives together !!3 points

Hereby I want to open a discussion regarding flag mounts. An off road flag is an essential safety tool for off roading. I see more and more that people are using suction mounts in combination with a relative heavy flag. This combination is sold by off road shops as pair. A person would think, "well, if a reputable off road shop is selling me this, then this should work, no?" Maybe, but most probably not. Especially not the suction mount in combination with the 2 part flag of AOR. This flag is too heavy for a suction mount. I forgive you if you are new to this sport and your setup is not working, or your flag is falling down all the time. But from fewbie and above, I can't understand why you don't invest in a good mount. The most expensive garage will charge you 200 AED for a fixed mount. I am sure there are garages doing it for cheaper. A good setup is not only for your own safety or that of the others, but it gives you also more thinking capacity instead of worrying all the time that your flag will soon or later fall off when you're crossing a ridge. Besides that it is annoying that you have to step out to mount the flag again, it is also holding up the whole convoy. Please, post your solution, experience, combination of flag and mount. Tell us at which garage you did it, and if possible the price as well.2 points

I bought the same 2 piece flag pole from AOR. However I custom made this piece to a metal workshop free of charge. 24mm of widht was wide enough to slide in to roof rail. So I can directly fix the flag pole to this piece... I've tested it for almost 5 drives now. It is working quite well. Sorry I don't have a photo of final product right now but if someone needs it just let me know. Note: Ignore "Welded" note between nut and steel plate. I've decided that, it's not necessary.2 points

Thanks Xaf. I really appreciate your comment. You're too kind. Yes, the FJ is stock. And I did have a problem once with my front right shock, so that's why I try to take it easy, especially on bumpy patches. I figured that before I put some money in the car (and will for sure, at least for the shocks) I ought to learn how to drive it. Plus I enjoy my drives so much that sometimes i prefer to relax and look at the dunes, before attacking them π. I guess I like to show them my respect. But as you said, driving styles should be different and yet compatible, so that everybody can learn from each other, as we have together in the last few months. Thanks again, and congrats to you as well. Your love for flying shows also in the desert β2 points

It's great to see someone make an effort and go through old threads and videos to see our achievements. With the current heat I will not suggest it, however in college months we can have a desert clean up drive. One thing I have realized over time, people are not respectful and you can have a clean up drive every week and the following week you will find the same amount of garbage lying around. In my opinion an educational mindset would be more helpful. So having our facts right and approach anyone throwing anything out of the car and educating them about the cleanliness being a safety requirement for the animals and insect living in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised to see the ladies in @Ale Vallecchi car jumping out every time we had a stuck and picking up the garbage people had thrown away. Surely there must be several ways we can tackle this issue, and any ideas to educate the less respectful will be appreciated.2 points

Thanks everyone!!! I was a little bit afraid the fist time as it was my first time ever off road but I am really grateful to everyone in the group as you are doing an amazing job helping people to learn and enjoy off road driving! I am not sure if my wife will be as happy as I am with the level and difficulty increase!haha Thanks!!!2 points

It largely depends on the weight of the flag. If itβs a light dune buggy flag it wonβt be any issue. i have seen the AOR off-road flag which is quite heavy also on a AOR suction cup mount. But I think these suction cups are more heavy duty than the dragon mart ones. They also cost a lot more.2 points
