@Ignacio Quindós congrats mate - keep it up!

Wow that’s a bit of additional wt. I can assure you after a few more drive (especially at higher level) you will find the FB drives not really needing much power from car. It’s a continous learning curve. I recall after my first FB Drive, I even took vehicle to garage to get it checked on throttle response - a few week or so later, it was clear - was me not the vehicle 😀 Try a drive in Sweihan or Shuwaib if you get a chance - trying a few high climbs, will change quite a bit in your handling of vehicle.

That is an amazing track @JeromeFJ ! Well done all !

For those interested I have put the route we took in this link with Gaia: https://www.gaiagps.com/public/rui1x6llzmE87WzfpIaBo5js

@Varun Mehndiratta, Wonderful drive and route taken! There was quite a bit of fauna seen along the way. Qudra always has breathtaking scenery. How you managed with the sand and the wind in your vehicle amazed me dear. It was quite rough at times. I perfectly will take note and improve on my radio communication. Thanks for the advice. And will immediately get the tires replaced. Will no longer push my luck now. That scare was enough. @Frans M , @Ishak, great in the SL roles. @Tharun Kumar V Your support in the centre was rock solid bro, and congrats for the new level up. Thanks for noticing the drop in pressure. @Ahmad Nerat , You managing the LC the in the tight terrain was amazing. @Mark B , @Pranjal Varsani1, @Gary F, @Rajat Verma, @rohit kumar - The big boys with mean machines, amazing convoy, it was a pleasure seeing you all. @Karthik Raptor commendable sweep, we all were assured having you dear.

@Hisham MasaadActually much happier to have coffee post pop out fixing, my sincere thanks to @Simon D🤗

#1 on WL on Monday evening, you have good chances 😉

Missed this by a second and was really looking forward to this drive too. On the waitlist and standing by 😁

Yeah I was too.. wanna test out some lights if I can figure out how to install ... but figured 8am sat so close to home was a win for me 😁

Yeah I am confused between the night one on Friday and the morning in ghantoot

Congratulations buddy

Congrats @Tharun Kumar V 👏👏

@Tharun Kumar VAll the best bro. Very well deserved. Lets race to intermediate!

@PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke congrats mate - keep it up

@Tharun Kumar V congrats mate - well deserved

@Varun Mehndiratta last few drives I've probably used just over a 1/4 tank. @Mark B Jeep probably added this feature because of the market in these devices, if it ever gets turned off if feels like there is so much less power but I'm just not pressing hard enough. I really like the responsiveness too. I was curious about Jeep vehicle weights, found PDF specification sheets on the below pages. Wrangler Sport 1890kg ( @Benjamin 366 kg lighter than my Gladiator) Wrangler Rubicon 2018kg (4-door I'm assuming with regular roof and doors installed, 2-door is only 116kg lighter) Gladiator Sport 2119kg Gladiator Mojave(Sandrunner) 2256kg Stellantis 2023 Product Information - Jeep®: Wrangler (stellantis-na-product-media.info) Stellantis 2023 Product Information - Jeep®: Gladiator (stellantis-na-product-media.info)

Cool I plan to try it sometime soon … perhaps we make it to sweihan sometime in coming weeks and explore it. Yes the fact it stayed longer in Gear 1 is the main thing about off road plus I have heard from other drivers, which is something really good for steep climbs 👍 Also check your fuel consumption as those who have been using it shared fuel consumption goes up crazy. Last drive I consumed a bit less than a quarter of tank during drive, just as a reference. Again gladiator and rubicon are diff plus the driving style make a diff, but still to compare.

We left the camels’ races to enter the desert. Slow path with some refusals quickly recovered. @Gauravmade an incredible repairs on @sohinikcar to be able to exit car. Lucky enough not to be too far away from Lisaili. It was nice driving with you this morning. Have a nice week and hope to drive with you again, next weekend 😉

@Bjoern@Sam K @Pacific @Hisham Masaad@Mohamad Anwer @salah2u @Simon D It was a beautiful morning to have this drive with you today. The service at the end was ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ so unexpected, thank you for it Hisham. ❤️ it. Have a great weekend and i am looking for another driving one.
