Add X-terra to your list. Even stock those things are tough yet light making them highly capable in the dunes. Cheap to fix, maintain and to buy. Pajero is everything above just a bit better as Fred mentioned but they are a little bit more expensive Avoid Jeeps.

Why don't you get them to write in an email if the side airbag gets deployed "without an accident" will they cover this in the warranty? Now they will help you with all the support, data, and spec sheet you might need.

@DP1011 1000% agree!

Thanks again for the amazing drive @Ale Vallecchi was definitely one for the books 🙌 Here is a pic of the FJ duo from the top of Iftar dune

Good morning, Thank you for signing up for the drive on Saturday morning. We have a lot of attendance including the waitlist and unfortunately, I will not be able to accept everyone. If the convoy is too long, it becomes more difficult to have all cars running together, and if we have more issues, or more cars stuck, it takes more time for the whole convoy. So... this is what I will do @Giacomo @ChrisW @Wilfredo Perez @Ozgu @Adam Black @nithish468 @Joji varghese @Rajath Shetty @jinoy @Zubail @Walter Palk @Zubair @Gary F, you are confirmed. No action from your side, but let me know or remove your RSVP if you changed your plan. @Victor Socaciu @Benjamin, first 2 in the wait list, I'm adding you to the drive. Please confirm your attendance. @Martin Schwaiger @Julian Patterson @Martin M @Ahmed Farouk, you are in the wait list, in that order. If before Friday 7:00 pm, one of the above indicates he is not coming, I will add you. Thank you for your understanding. I will communicate by the end of the afternoon tomorrow the convoy order and radio channel. Stay tuned!

I went to Al tayer, they said noway to disable, on precious generations possible with the fuse, here - system is together working with main. I wrote to main Ford to ask them, let's see. But what I found, is description of sand mode, that it's disabling traction control etc. to make driving on sand comfortable in get tested in UAE and created mainly for UAE and desert https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/img/me/en/news/2018/11/19/the-2018-ford-expeditions-sand-mode-secrets--fords-first-full-si.html

Those pictures look incredible!!! Welcome

Hello @Victor Socaciu..have a look at these posts on the carnity portal The Baofeng UV 5R is the most popular one , from dragon mart. but heard there are upgraded ones (UV 5RH , UV 9R etc) on the market now. Make a visit to dragon mart and you should be getting a fair idea

I am waitlisted but I most likely cannot join due to other commitments at the same time so you can give my slot someone else Thanks Martin

Confirmed to support you @JeromeFJ

@JeromeFJ confirmed, thanks

@Zak_ U were the lucky among many🧿✌️! Am sure you had a great learning experience with one of the very experienced marshals - And thats the beauty of weekday drives!

We will initially see a lot of long-range dunes; they are not very tall but will give us opportunity to be quick, which of course we are going to be. Next, we will have some very tall but narrow dunes. They are super technical and on a hot day very soft as well. They will test us on our skill of not getting stuck. By now we should know where not to apply gas, because if we are not moving forward, we are going down sinking ourselves. Please note that there is one lone fuel station on the way that is a bit away from the meeting point. Not many refreshments available there, so stock up before you move from your homes.

Thamk you @Zak_. You'll be Second Lead and Sweep 😅

Dear Carnity team, Please accept my highest respect to your amazing community organizing these drives in a super professional manner and also handling new members with excellent patience. Kudos to the entire team of marshals & experts!! Sincere wishes, Rajath Shetty

Drives are being organized voluntarily by Marshals and expert with daily fulltime jobs like you and me Some of them have availability during the week due to flexible hours/schedules, but this is not a guarantee of course for every level or every week,

Will check 1more time @Luke K P The side airbags are on the outermost side of the seat backrests of the front seats. In certain sideways crashes or rollovers, the airbags will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided to occupants in side impact crashes. The Safety Canopy deploys during significant side crashes or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the headliner, above each row of seats.

@Zubail have you checked your vehicle manual thoroughly to determine if you need to disable these airbags? Some recent ford models instruction manuals make specific note that side curtain and side impact airbags will NOT deploy in rollover situations.
