Dear Dune Surfers, You slip - you Skip! This drive is the Third edition of the Skill Drive Series which had been posted in previous weeks for Ridge riding, criss cross and Technical terrain navigation, and Side Sloping As the names suggest, we would be focusing on the skills of Slip face climbing - attacking the dune from slip face during this drive. Every dune has a windward side and a slipface. A dunes windward side is the side where the wind is blowing and pushing material up. A dunes slip face is simply the side without wind. A slipface is usually smoother than a dunes windward side. The slip face are the softest part of the dune as the sand in not compressed ( pushed into) as there is no wind pressure. These slip faces usually have a high angle of attack ( between 30 to 35 Degrees) which makes it challenging and Fun to drive on. I always go back to watch this video as it is one of the most important and well explained ones available on Your tube: Make sure you come with a full tank, Car in good conditions, recovery gear for this level (Radio, Flag, Deflator, Compressor, Kinetic rope and Soft shackles). Recovery points should be checked and in good conditions. It is preferable for the cars to have a front bash plate (6mm or more) to keep the radiator protected Let us know If your vehicle is lifted more than 4 inch of OEM stock height as your 4x4 center of gravity will be high, and you need to factor this accordingly while doing the slip face attack.

Hi @GauravSoni thank you for the advice and you are right it is related to the air intake system . after trying to investigate the issue for a long time i figured out that the sound is coming from the front part of the air intake because i fixed an insulation foam ( which was a bit bigger than the original one and causing an air flow restriction then the hood was closed ). i have checked the following reading which seems normal: 1. vacuum ( around -20 at idle it goes up to - 0.5 when i rev up ) 2. AFR its always within the 14.7 value nd can go down to 11.5 when i rev it up 3. Intake pressure between 4 and 11 Psi

Congratulations @Karthik Raptor enjoy the new level

Great set of drivers. It's going to fun! See you all shortly.

Hi @GauravSoni, unfortunately i won’t be able to make it to this drive, looking forward to driving with you next time.

Hi @Simon Dawood is that whisking sound coming during idle? Did u open the hood and try to identify the tentative location? the sound typically comes due to a leak in the intake … vaccum sound… I used to have a whistling sound which was identified as a leak in the intake … that can severely damage the engine as some sand can get into the engine… get is checked thoroughly …

Wow super cool concept drive @GauravSoni 👍👍 not in town next week, would have loved to join. Perhaps next time

Hi @Anish S very unfortunately I am going to take a rain check 🙁. I was so looking forward to come but I am stuck at the office. I am sure you all will have an amazing drive. Safe ride.
