On Fewbie level I think it’s too soon to make this statement. Climbing big dunes is not just about power but also about the proper technique of learning to choose the right line and approach momentum. A 3.6 Pentastar Wrangler has more than enough power to make it through.

We’ll done mate well deserved also ! Congrats

I appreciate all your nice words my friends. It means a lot It feels good to be encouraged. Glad I made it to this rank. It’s been a steady progression since I first started hitting the dunes and I can’t wait to test this new level and ride along with the more experienced ones. And for the ones that are next in line, can’t wait to see you there too :))

Congrats on achieving the 100 drives @Islam Soliman!! And thank you for the trucker drive this week, I knew what was coming and had been excited for it. Could have enjoyed a lot more if there weren't overheating issue and the back pain. Driving behind @JeromeFJ was really enjoyable. and thank you @Alex Raptor for helping the recoveries and being the flawless CF. didn't see much at the back but often heard @varunmehndiratta's warm confirmation that it's all good at back untill at the end when @Danish Mohammad had to take over the SW due to a radio faliure . till next time!

congrats @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil Well deserved, enjoy...

Congrats Alain, knew this would happen soon as you deserve it all! Enjoy the new rank and debut IM drive and hopefully to see you soon!

Congratulations @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, a very well deserved promotion. Your big smiles at every stop during the drives, your prompt response at every request for help in shoveling or any other need tell everything about your enthusiasm for offroad and have been a great reward for me everytime we had a chance to drive together. Keep going!

Congrats @Islam Soliman on very big milestone. 👏

contrats.. enjoy your new level. 👍

There is already a waitlist - so if plans chance, advise on this forum and then remove yourself from the RSVP. Exact start point (between Lehbab Police Station & Margham to follow. Only 4 more sleeps. See you soon in the sand.

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi. You motivated me and guided me form my very first drive with Carnity. I learnt many new things from every drive with you. I'm so excited to go my first IM drive with you this Saturday. @Ranjan Das Thank you Ranjan. See you this week drive. Happy to join with you again. 🤛 You are next. Make it fast. 😀

Well done @Bernard Kalaani. After all, you did have an almost Fewbie baptism of fire this past weekend 😉: your skills are solid. Enjoy the new rank.

I agree with Fredy (part I missed) that fewbie level is all about finding your sweet spot and learning to use correct lines, approach angle and momentum. So don't rush to any conclusion now, just work on your skills and see if heavier tires really holds you down. Pay extra close attention to cars in front who are making certain climbs and try to replicate the same as much as you can. Second point I also missed that its Pentastar (Thanks Fredy) as I was under the impression of older JK with 4.0 engine that is known to be sluggish and added with oversize BFG is a recipe for disaster - which is not your case. Whatever you decide make sure you do lot of research and don't simply go with off-road garages suggestions as these ppl love to sell anything to anyone whether you need it or not and secondly it might open a new can of worm as explained above. What I meant to say is that, re-gearing is a very serious choice that you need to make with careful evaluation of all pros and cons than just one person or garage advice.

Woohoo! Congrats @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil!

Thanks @M.Seidamfor sharing your experience as well. I told him to speak to the agency now and try to get a goodwill approval. Just we hope the damage is in the rockers and didn't extend further.

Congratulations @Naveen Raj 👍

@Marwan Haddad have a look at this post where the gearing issue was discussed for the same year Wrangler model, but for a manual gearbox.

Thanks Frederic! Looking forward to more drives and a little faster pace!🤪

Congrats @Naveen Raj !

Waitlist so far @Joseph Sebastian - First drive

Really looking forward to this drive. These dunes look amazing, and I have been starved from desert during a few week 😀😀 Just waiting the go ahead from Lorenzo, and I will happily run and do my PCR 😅 !

Thanks @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil See you soon. Thanks @Hisham Masaad See you soon.

I'm not sure what exactly rattle you FJ guys are discussing, but I do have some rear door rattle especially on loose gravel track or crisscrossing. I found the solution with lithium grease (last for 6 months) or WD40 (last 2-3 months). If its something else than regular door hinges or lock rubbing or squeaking - please ignore my comment.

@Sunil Mathew Thanks bro. See you soon. You are next
