Congratulations 🎉 @Hisham Masaad .. well a third reload is worthy to start with you 101 drive 😉

Just found it was my 100th drive with @Carnity, thank you Mr. Asghar for coming all the way to celebrate with me 🤣. Second, I found the winch remote in the next pocket to the one I checked may be 10 times 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Hisham Masaad great drive today, with lots of climbs and thrills along with finding some open dunes with the huge number of convoys in the area thanks as always to the support given by @Simon Dawood @imranaasghar81 and @Islam Soliman

Dear @Abdul Basit Khan, @Sree - Fortuner, @Pieter Potgieter, @Antony Abraham, @Chris Wing, @Imran Kashif, @Salim Akhtar and @Karthik Raptor. Looking forward to leading you tomorrow. I'd just like to make a small change in the exact meeting place, with respect to Convoy 1: PLEASE LINE UP IN FRONT OF THE MOSQUE, WITH THE CAR'S NOSE POINTING TOWARS THE VILLAGE (SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT). This we'll make sure there will be no mix-ups, and that we'll be pointing toward our entry point. See you tomorrow, bright and early. Have a nice Saturday.

Thank you @Gaurav for the fabulous drive and giving us perfect start to the weekend. Besides the splendid track not always we have Gaurav in the front and also at the back - thank you @Gaurav Soni for the support; wish you the best for the afternoon. @munkybizness, @MMansoor, @Davie Chase, @Ashok chaturvedi, @Daniel Yang, @Xavier Treasurer, @Amir Amiri And @Sunil Mathew it was great meeting and driving with you gentlemen- wish you all a great weekend ahead.

@Hisham Masaadthank you for the wonderful and pace drive. Definitely it was an adrenaline dose drive. Surprising for this drive you without saying the words “yalla push” we were pushing from start. But after you said the magic word everyone surely had a smile on the face. @imranaasghar81 good job as a CF. hope your younger brother enjoyed the drive. Loved his energy. @Simon DawoodGood job as a second lead you copied @Hisham Masaadat every single step 🤫. @Mohamad Anwerit was such a pleasure looking at the LC doing self recovery. What a car. Made it look so easy. @Islam Solimani never had any worries while driving because you were there at the back for rescue. Thank you very much for your support. Looking forward to join your drive too. @Hisham Masaadreload next week for Dr @M.Seidam? See you soon on the sand everyone.

Hope adrenaline levels did not go beyond allowed. 😅. Thank you everyone for joining the drive, and I hope all enjoyed the area and it was good idea to change from Mahafiz to Bedayer. As usual all were ready on time, quick briefing and started the adventure. Many convoys today at meeting point, and managed to start before many of them, but found them in front of us. Slowly started moving and all were picking up, and looking for more. We made our way climbing dunes, and tried to make as much as we can within the time given. No issues except few side slope refusal, me @Joji varghese @Mohamad Anwer and @Simon Dawood. Some were fast clearing and one of Simon took more time. Thank @Islam Soliman for being patient and careful till the car was out. Was pleasure to meet Mr. Asghar, and happy to see he enjoyed the drive. All our friends @Vaibhav @Waqas Parvez @Daniel Rodas @imranaasghar81 @Rajiv Sam and @JamesThorn pleasure meeting you again. All were amazing during the drive. Thank you again @Islam Solimanfor supporting us today, @Simon Dawood for being SL, and @imranaasghar81 for holding CF position. Look forward to see you again in sand, and wish you a nice weekend. Take care Hisham.

Thank you @Gaurav for an amazing drive today, it got the weekend off to a buzzing start. the drive had everything and lived up to expectation as always. we only had a couple of refusals and very few stucks which was testament to the expertise of all on the drive. Great second lead by @Ranjan Das and of course well supported from the sweepers position by @Gaurav Sonihope all goes well in your leaders lead drive this afternoon, best of luck with that. @munkybizness, @MMansoor, @Ashok chaturvedi, @Daniel Yang, @Xavier Treasurer, @Amir Amiri And @Sunil Mathew it was great driving with you all, both old friends and new ones, you guys were amazing and made the drive flow well. i will have a look through the go pro and see what pics i have, have a fantastic rest of your weekend

I am afraid badayer will start charging after so much drives 😂

@Hisham Masaad Yallah push was all I could think about for the entire week, and I was never disappointed with it, my younger brother said he enjoyed the drive more than the Ferrari World roller coaster at one point me @imranaasghar81 and @Vaibhav took two loops before climbing a dune and it was better than any of the rides One thing I've always liked about @Carnity is that safety comes first. @Islam SolimanRecovery may have been done faster, but safety measures were followed, and this is a fantastic learning experience for all of us, thank you for your support. Rest of the convoy drove beautifully @James Thorn @Rajiv Sam@Simon Dawood @imranaasghar81@Vaibhav@Mohamad Anwer@Joji varghese@Daniel Rodas @Hisham Masaad congratulations on achieving the milestone (100 drive) @Vaibhav Agreed 100% we need @M.Seidam to join us for the reload 3

congrats @Hisham Masaad on your 100 drive mile stone, excellent achievement well done. It is always a pleasure driving with you in the sand pit. look forward to the next 100 and hope i am able to join you on a lot of them.

@Ale Vallecchi, I had issues with my car this afternoon whilst driving to the starting point of Tbone’s drive and I had to drop off. Can have my car checked only during the week so I have to withdraw from this drive am afraid. Sorry and you all enjoy the drive!

Thanks again @Brette and @Chaitanya D for the well managed drive.. nice drive giving enough challenges.. last hill climb was really a bonus😀 it's a learning experience every time out there.. looking forward to many more😊 Team, if anyone got video of last hill climb , share please

@Brette @Chaitanya D you guys having amazing energy. Today is a bit technical for a newbie and with the help of @Chaitanya D i unleashed and experience the power of XTerra. the whole convoy was amazing, route selection and everything. specially the last climbing. Now i have to work on my Paddle pressing technique. people are calling me flying XTerra. i like the TAG but i don’t wanna fly 🤦‍♂️. Great experience 💪💪💪

@M.Seidam @Ale VallecchiUnfortunately i will have to withdraw myself from the drive due to some family matters. I wish you a wonderful drive. I apologise for the inconvenience.

Well doctor @M.Seidamif you are serious will plan it. Please confirm.

What a wonderful drive we had today. There was minimal radio chatter, helping me meditate during the long spells of radio silence, simply loved it. Everyone drive so well that I forgot I was supposed to be supporting the drive and felt like driving a normal newbie drive. Hardly any refusals or stucks - great showing guys. This drive is perhaps one of the last drives in winter schedule, mercury did scale new highs and it was quite warm by the time we ended. Get ready to be at the meeting point by 6. Alarms must go off at 4 instead of 5. @jeetu sharmaexcellent work as a second lead. @Alfred Alinazar I am sure you had a wonderful drive at the tail end. So much more to do in the sweep, or rather nothing, choice is always yours. Last time I saw you, I was shadow supporting in my wife’s drive. Initially thought you are are fresh newbie, but looked up the profile and realised the number of drives you been to, I salute your simplicity in the drive preparation, not many have the patience as you do. a big thanks to @Frederic for the drive. @Azam V2.0 - you changed your name…. Lucky you, you had first hand experience of how unpredictable sand is, just a few meters to the right of us and you found yourself in on of the most nasty stucks just like that, for no reason at all. @Zulfikhar Naiyar see you tomorrow. @Paolo Morresi, Jeep in UAE bring their worst bumpers here to UAE. While the car is most capable of all- the bumpers are designed to fail. I don’t know if it is deliberate. They have a nice low profile steel bumpers in US, which they sell with Rubicon as standard and optional on other trim levels, but for some reason they only bring the worst bumpers for sand to UAE. I am on my fourth, bumper, so I have gone through the entire process. Even the Mopar steel bumpers fail. I was able to break the number plate bracket even on the metal bumper. My first recommendation for you is to buy some heavy duty zip ties and continue with this plastic bumper as long as possible. Then, when this bumper is a 100% write off for good, there are two options. 1. Somehow get the same bumper and cut the long number plate bit and relocate the number plate or 2. get an AOR metal bumper. Second option is definitely more elegant option, I would personally go for it. The recommended bumper upgrade for Jeep Sport & Sahara is to go for AOR for rear bumper & Mopar for front bumper if you want to install a winch. I did the reverse, I know, I did wrong.

@Ale Vallecchi well noted 👍 see you tomorrow
