Drive report It’s always a pleasure and tonight was no different . We started off on the familiar sands of Murquab gently making our way through the dunes ever mindful that @antonio was experiencing his first fewbie drive . As we tackled some low and gentle ridges it was apparent that both @Antonio Jimenez Williamsand @Rob Harpercould handle getting on top , keeping control of their steering and maintaining just the right amount of momentum to stay on the ridge. Well done guys! We were soon faced with the high and long dunes that provide excellent opportunities for side sloping . @Antonio Jimenez Williams had a refusal and we decided he should deflate his tyres to see if it helped. It did and Antonio was back in the game. After about 1 hour or so of exploring Murquab we crossed the Sabka and took the familiar track to Solar park. After a short while we headed into the dunes to the right of the track , here we were presented with a different challenge , small dunes but not too tight . However, they still required a degree of finesse to navigate them. Satisfied that all in the convoy were handling the drive I asked if they were suitably challenged and the response was that we could up the pace slightly although , I was very mindful that this was a fewbie drive and Antonio was being suitably challenged . I decided to keep the pace as was and hunted for more challenging dunes . We found more beautiful long dunes, some with steep climbs and soft sands which met with a couple of refusals but nothing major. As we reached the more advanced slopes with their mighty slip faces we darted up, slipped down and crossed atop them with the entire convoy coping well. @Antonio Jimenez Williams , you did very well today , I know you felt the step up from newbie, but you handled it all well . Just be mindful to steer down and never ever fight gravity unless you want your car to end up on its roof. @Rob Harper , you didn’t put a wheel wrong all night. You took everything in your stride and handled your car very well. @Gaurav Soni @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ , @Thomas Varghese and @Hisham Masaad you all had impeccable drives. Thank you , it’s always a pleasure to lead you guys . Very special thanks to @Veedooshee for doing a perfect job as second lead. Further thanks to my henchmen @Mohamed Seidam and @Islam Soliman who kept a watchful eye on the entire convoy and were always on hand to give advice and help out. Your assistance on my drives is always greatly appreciated and very much needed . Thank you gentlemen Once again, thank you to the entire convoy for indulging my adventurous ways and following my lead. Until our next adventure !

Nice video , thank you 😊

Yes they are very good in sand until you keep moving, climbing or side sloping. Due to the tread pattern they are not so good for self-recovering and very risky on road and "CATASTROPHIC" on wet roads. I never used them, but had a very close desert safari guy who shared all these info. Owner of that company is my cousin and he use AT tires on his Patrol SWB.

Thanks for the video @Mohamed Seidam . @Foxtrot Oscar these short drives are awesome way to unwind for the day or the week! Thanks again for an absolute pleasure of a drive!

@Foxtrot Oscar sorry my car is showing some issue I was on my way from al Ain but have to go back. Sorry 😢 hope to join when my car back on track .

Hi @Foxtrot Oscar I have some issue with my radio. Would you excuse me and provide with a spare one for the drive? Else I will have to get a new one now but would be delayed by 10 mins....

Hi @Francois Germishuys please join couple of more intermediate drives, so that we can gather your more conclusive feedback, based on which you can definitely join Extreme drives in the future.

Wish you all a safe drive

Hello Desert Wanderers @Carnity I came across to an important topic which I believe clear knowledge about it is of paramount essential for all of us be it off-road or on road . Please see below

Hi @Tbone yes this will be my first drive for the weekend, so yes add me thanks, the extreme team dont want me yet... 🙃

If I'm not mistaken the ABS system in Jeep has been abbreviated as EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution). Once you long press the Traction Control it gives you a message and 2 orange lights come on. This means you TC and ABS are both switched off, no need for a kill switch.

hi, @Ilya Golubinsky This square shaped flat case is for keeping the fire extinguisher and a few tools for the Jeep. The white foam packing in the Pic has been cut to accommodate the same and is shaped like a cylinder. I have the same one for my jeep. Guess it also has velcro at the bottom so it can stick on the floor. Hope this helps..
