An IM drive after almost a months break from offroading, I was apprehensive whether all the "muscle memory" gained could be recalled, after the gap, but seemed fine !!! Thanks for the nice smooth flowing drive @Ale Vallecchi, we did the whole circle as planned, i hope, climbing slip faces and criss crossing our way , all along covering a 100Km with almost 28Kmph average pace... very minor refusals here and there, and the radio channel waking up mostly for "terrain prompts" from Ale, for a bump here, a bush there etc etc Although the day proved to be slightly unlucky for @Pacific, with a pop out and a flat tyre, it was a fun drive with all of us driving at different positions every 40 min, the unconventional element of the drive from Ale 👍👍..this ensured that we dont slip into our comfort zones , staying alert to adjust to a different driver in front of you, every 40 min, varying from a high alert 2nd lead to a lazy IM sweep Good company @Fabien Monleau - who i seem to share some commonality w.r.t our field of work - ships 😀, @Christian Andras and veteran @Thomas Varghese Until next time 🤘🖐️

Well said and fully agree on every aspect. Also good to see @Christian Andras, fellow mate of professional similarity.

Ideally should have enough viscosity, not to leak through the seals. .We use hydraulic oil grade 46 for our cylinder jacks on field

Dear @Sunil Mathew you covered the entire drive beautifully. Now nothing more to add from my side. As usual the drive from @Ale Vallecchi accomplished all the targets set. Had a wonderful drive. My only concern was as there was not much delays for stopping in the drive I couldn't click any pictures.

Forgot once to close tight the screw after use of jack,just to find hydraulic fluid was lost,making jack not useful. DIY, Google for hydraulic fluid, opened the Jack at home and the fluid chamber with vegetable oil. It works, last I used when someone pop out.

Good point, i ran into the same issue somewhere last year and only had some brake fluid lying around. Tried that and it worked fine as well.

Congratulations @Tom B. Well done. Keep roaring ahead
