No don't trust us, we still need track guidance otherwise the marshal will be like below GIF at the end of drive 😂 https://giphy.com/gifs/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-season-6-3o6wNTkW74qbTq6vG8

Dear Sand Sailors With less than 48hours to go for this crazy expedition and still 7 WL drivers, let’s do a plan check to make sure we don’t have any last min surprises. Please review your plan and confirm your availability for the drive by EOD today. Thanks for your understanding. @Gerrit Bus @Benjamin @Gok Krish @Tareq Al Turq @Jaro Tuzinsky @Sunil Mathew @Joji varghese @Alexanderrr@DP1011 @Fabien Monleau

Sailors in case I missed to share - we will be crossing through the greenest of desert you have explored. At certain points bushes higher than your vehicles. So just a summary - Steep climbs through Slip face + terraced shaped irregular dunes + green bushes = let’s buckle up.

Hi All, due to some personal reasons I won't be able to join this drive. Instead, @Kailas and @Looper will be leading with the same drive plan and challenges. Have fun. Thanks Kailas and Goutam for saving this drive.

Haha cheeky! I made it with my own two hands, it’s very dusty now and had a Jack strapped in front of it but it’s still there

Asif bhai you dont need google , let the zoom zoom for the heavy weight to take it in. they are all desret wariors , trust me 😉

You are just saying that but we all know deep down you signed up for a full 7 course meal 😂

Long story @Patrick 😅. On my first 3 Newbie drives I always have transmission overheated then the convoy stopped for me just to wait my transmission to cools down. One of the driver brought me that bottle and sprayed the transmission oil cooler and I remember he said “as Pajero owner this is a must” since then I call this bottle “Pajero extra transmission cooler” 😎. On the 4th newbie drive, I brought this cooler with confidence but one of the driver told me to try to drive in Triptonic. I did it and never have overheating issue anymore 😅. As @Benjamin said, we use it when we have a pop out but I never use it for that yet. So far I use it after the drive to wash my hand when I finish with the tire and the most important is to wash my face because I want to look fresh before saying “it’s a pleasure to drive with you, see you on the next drive soon 🤝😅.

Heavy weight lineup actually scared me, I am doing extra home work in Google now "zoom zoom"

@Gaurav hi Gaurav, i hope that all is ok from ur side. Noted for @Kailas and @Looper leading the drive.

Confirmed

Post drive fresh-up and facial misting 😁 Where to get this thing? Garden shop? @ishak Well, we have recovery gear for car. Now this is what I call "personal recovery gear" 👍

Always love to show off the back board, one of the first things I made for Gladis there is storage attached to the back too 😊😊😊

We will politely wait for our turn like good boys till Saturday only. 😂

@M.Seidam unfortunately I have to leave the drive due to the some work,

Thanks Doc @M.Seidam. Been a while since we've driven together! Looking forward to the red sands of Mahafiz, some familiar faces and hopefully Faya for some hill action 💥

Oh dear please take care and sure no rush at all . Get well soon inshallah Dear @munkybizness your are in the RSVP confirmed now as @Zulfikhar Naiyar dropped out . Welcome to you and best wishes for him of soon recovery .

Hello Dr. @M.Seidam.. Unfortunately I’ll have to drop out due to back pain which may not subside till Saturday. Hopefully there’s sufficient time for WL to join in. Hoping to drive with you next time. thanks.

It’s just amazing and leaves lots of space for special camping trips or long drives needing Jerry cans etc For jlu riders also like the setup @Ranjan Das has with all the locked in drawers and @Juan R idea of locking shovel under rear seat (though not sure if it works with passengers in vehicle) - it’s not only being able to secure but also being able to keep it as is during the week, m too lazy to take out and keep thinks back.

Your photoshop skill is amazing @Mark B 👍🏼 looks real 😅.

Confirmed, I am in. @Varun Mehndiratta and looking forward for it:)

In 😉

@Mark B I have been wondering how gladiator guys store their gear. I guess this is one way of doing it! looks visually appealing and safe!

Confirmed @Varun Mehndiratta

I shall be there

Congratulations @Jaro Tuzinsky 👍

Congratulations @Cristian! Enjoy the new level

Congratulations @Jaro Tuzinsky! High flying time

Congratulations, and enjoy the new level, @Marketa Dobesova

I find soft tool bags a lot useful to store things in the vehicle. They are much more easy to carry plus you can place theM anywhere and they won’t move much and they don’t break. In my current setup I have a trolly tool bag containing random stuff + Amazon Basics backpack tool bag with actual tools + Ace Tool bag with kinetic rope and 3 piece shovel. All of this goes behind the bench seat if my Jeep and there isn’t any space for them to move from there. Silver lining of the puny trunk of a 2 door Jeep JL.

This is beautiful … looks awesome.

Ace hardware have some. I washed it using Stainless Steel Scourers to remove the garden words to make it ready for off-road

So far it’s good and I need to have stronger boxes, one of them cracked on the side because I forgot to tied two strap to the compressor box.

Yes it is important and inside the grey bag with the first aid kit

I love to see these cargo area pictures. It's like a behind-the-scenes look or behind the stage look, just in off-roading 😆

@Mark B Beautiful. Love the black/red color scheme too. That's true off-road art right there 😁

We will be just a bit further up north in Al Hayer and might hear your engines screaming

I'm just here for the after-Eid cookies 😁 Btw, why are you @GauravSoni and @Srikumar in Waiting List? You guys can just skip the line and go to the VIP Manage line 😆

I drive in the desert for the Dopamine rush - but this one is for Adrenaline. Charging my Insta360 for some cool vids after many months for this one. #instaboi

What a lineup of drivers for this drive!! When the commander calls.. heavy weights answer!!!

Hi @Gok Krish hope having a nice week. Noticed you were there in the last drive in this terrain - set out couple of years back. Any nice memories, reminisce of the same. Would be good to give a bit of flavor of what to expect for the team here. 😀

Wow this filled up real fast - by 7:07 already we had 6 WL. Thanks all for your great response - it’s very encouraging, a much needed one especially for these exploration drives. @DP1011 and @Fabien Monleau added you guys to manage tab. In case of change in plans let me know. Details for the drive shall follow over next few days, in due course - ensure your cars are in healthy state, tools all set and above all, make sure that in case of any change in plans, update rsvp asap - we still have 6 WL 😊 Have a nice week ahead. Your response has raised my excitement to another level. See you all on Saturday.

Thanks @JeromeFJ means a lot! looking forward to more drives together

Congratulations @Pieter Pot
