Well there is nothing I can say about it my friend… I plan to catch a good sleep on Saturday morning to see if if I can still watch the match….

@GauravSoni only issue is the Eng Vs France match Saturday @ 11 pm 😡

Congrats @Ashutosh Gargfor next level

All crested vehicles can be out with the shovel alone . It’s the tricks and experience you get by not missing this recovery champion league 😉 … if you are alone ( off course not advisable ) what would you do and you have 20 min left to the sunlight before the dark comes on you😅

welcome dune surfers! @Haitham Khattab @Imteeaz @Amr Aydin @Tom B @Beide Worku @Charbel @Mario Cornejo @Ashutosh Garg @Senthil Kumar @Anoop Nair This is would be my first excursion exploring and leading the sands in Sweihan! i am already excited for the Sunday morning! we have few on the waitlist ! @ASAD. @Waqas Parvez @Zixuan Huang - Charlie and @Simon D .. Let me know of any changes in your plan preferably before Friday 9 pm. The plan is to reach the Nagrah Hill as a midpoint and loop back north of the starting point! everything in between is Surprise!

Thanks @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for the above feedback. I recalled that Hisham also has the Vortex Head fitted on his FJ. Do you mind sharing (via 055 897 0942 - my mobile) where you bought and got the snorkel installed? Cheers

No, mine is vortex head, air is still being sucked into the intake system by pressure. the benefit of vortex head is that it keeps more heavy contaminants away and provide cleaner air to the engine, which is critical for Nissan's VQ40DE engine, it gets into limp mode if dirt gets in Ram type head forces air into the intake system which theoretically increase the amount of air to the engine, you may check with others who have ram head. switching the head is easy, you can get me a ram type and im happy to test for you😁 https://www.4x4works.co.uk/snorkel-heads-guide/#:~:text=The two most common types,fall into the snorkel itself.

@Zixuan Huang - Charlie mate did you notice any difference in your vehicle/power after the installation of the snorkel? is the engine breathing a bit better?

As Davie mentioned, Never experienced sand as soft as this, that any aggressive driving would punish us with air leaking from the tires, but thanks to God that we had no tire issue nor pop out other than few zero pressure tires. Thanks @Zulfikhar Naiyarfor giving me some pressured air👍 Thank you @Islam Soliman for leading us in this adventurous terrain where we had the hard labor recovery, extremely soft sand multiple steps and more. honestly even with you driving the full size in front of me, I still had to think twice before making any movement. And with the strong support from @Davie Chase @Ranjan Das at back and the rest of skilled and supportive members in the convey @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Ashutosh Garg @Karthikeyan Govindarajan, we could reach the YT and made it back safely. Also glad to see the vortex snorkel I newly installed works very well on keeping the sand out of the intake system🙌🙌, there was only fine dust in the filter

gotta jump on any newbie drives until can graduate to the fewbie... gives a few more options then!

WOW ! 12 confrimed, 10 WL - Looks like Friday is the new Satday / Sunday ? Or along with Schools offices also going on winter break :D 😅
