Thank you @Maytham Mahroos, @Shiju Raju , @Issam Atra , @frederic demolder , @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Mark B @Tareq Al Turq for being part of the drive and being excellent drivers , you managed all sort of terrain ,pace, and challenges that you have been put through. 💪 I tried to expose the convoy to all kind of terrain and drives techniques from flat straight terrain, technical terrain, crisscrossing , ridge ridding and side slopping which will give you more confidence going up the off-roading levels. My initial plan was to exit at solar park but at 10:00 AM , after we have done a some sidies and some exhausting long range dunes ridge riding. I decided to exit at Marqab. Thanks @Mark B for making sure the convoy way safe at the back and @Tareq Al Turq for helping us with the shoveling and helping the guys with the refusals. Special thank to @Davie Chase for watching my back and making this drive possible i was not able to click any pictures during this drive but if you did kindly post them in the drive gallery 📸 Looking forward to see you on the next drive.

Taking inspiration from @Stumpy Paj I decided to go ahead with installing onboard air via arb single compressor. I decided to mount inside the space where the spare wheel goes, and run the air outlet to the side where I have a hard mount for the insta360 camera. Very simple job once you have drilled the mounting holes in the wheel mount. Terminated to ground on the factory point inside the rear space, and extended hot power to battery with inline switch at battery. Extended the pressure sensor and isolation switch up into the auxbeam gangpanel controller recommended by @Frederic. Super happy with the result. Here are some pics.

@Mohit Gurnani@george charbel@Gurcharan Mehta@Hugo@Pascal @Christian Andras Despite the morning fog, i think we had a decent run. We found some nice play areas scattered over the Khatim-Ramlat area, and lots of clean virgin dunes with the occasional vegetation (almost unavoidable these days). Brilliant second lead @Mohit Gurnani today, you really impressed me today with the lines you took and your focus. In fact we had a marvellous convoy throughout the whole morning, with no shovels or ropes in sight. The sand was quite forgiving as it was a bit moist and this helped in the play areas My apologies for exiting a bit later. I was not aware that the exit track had a gate inbetween, which meant we had to make a diversion. Anyways good to know for later. We will be back in this area coming winter. Wishing you all a relaxed Sunday !

Hi @GauravSoni I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible opportunity to serve as the second lead in the convoy. It was a first-time experience for me, and although I felt a bit of pressure, the learning gained was invaluable. I especially appreciate the guidance you provided on side sloping in manual drive mode. Controlling acceleration, managing momentum, and understanding gas pumping were skills I hadn’t mastered before, and your patient instruction made it a memorable learning experience. Navigating the new trail added an extra layer of challenge, and despite its brevity, the drive distance proved to be the perfect canvas for acquiring a few tricks of the trade. Thank you for cultivating an atmosphere that promotes ongoing learning. Greetings fellow desert enthusiasts! As we engage in same drives, we're getting to know most of the team members, fostering a sense of comfort, and looking forward to more adventures together.

Thanks all for a great dive yesterday evening! It was a huge amount of fun, and a good learning experience. Sorry about the broken flag mount hassles and a big THANK YOU to all who assisted in getting the flag mounted again!

@Simon D thank you for the great drive today, we had a little of everything along the way. With some nice long-range dunes to play on a few technical areas and some real bushy areas, but you managed each and every change of terrain with some great lines as we meandered our way out of Lisalli towards the chimney, ending the drive at Marqeq. The convoy of @Maytham Mahroos, @Shiju Raju , @Issam Atra , @frederic demolder , @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Mark B @Tareq Al Turqdid you proud and drove amazingly well with very few refusals and only one stuck that I can remember. well done to you all especially @Maytham Mahroos on your first fewbie drive. We had some excellent support from @Tareq Al Turq in the middle and @Mark Bsweeping the convoy, you guys did an amazing job and made handling the couple of hiccups we had oh so easy well-done and thank you both.
