Dear Night Riders Hello and welcome to another episode of my night drives and this time we a have no moon and we will be entirly driving in the dark .nevertheless keeping focus and senses super alert is fundemetal to such drives regardless of level. what you do in day lights will fall to half magnitude obviously . speed , distance between vehicles ..etc and this dictates a strict adherence to the convoy disiplines to get out safe eventually. for those who never drove in the dark in a convoy you dont need offroad lights for that and what you need is just to follow the car infront of you and pay attention to the radio always . do not let anything to distract you. please check finally on your gear as per level including a fully charged radio as well as your car condition especially your stock light . convoy list will be done and displayed here just couple hours before the drive. see you all by 21:00 sharp today at the meeting point given in the topic and drive calender above . P.S : Please if you can bring your camping chair along in the trunck of your tuck 😉 Cheers Seidam

@Mike M. 5S with me become: - Stuck - Shovel - Steer left and right - Smile - Stuck again 😅

For me numbers speak more than anything and here they are. It was the fastest ever both in average speed as well as moving average. We did most of what we see in the social media but did it safely. The one thing I wanted to do but did not was to climb Nagra Hill but slipped out of the climb due to poor visibility and sand in my eyes. I did not have the privilege to drive with windows up. No rush, there is always a next time. We had a couple of well-deserved breaks, and we just chatted and socialized - it was a well-paced drive. I was blessed to have an excellent convoy to be at the front. @ChrisW, @Brett Eicher, @Ishak, @Rob S, @Rajiv Sam & @Mehmet Volga thank you all for making this one a memorable one.

DRIVE PLAN In May 2023 I joined a drive by @Asif Hussain. It was a next level drive, one that I keep reminiscing about every time thoughts of an adrenaline rush filled drive comes to mind. I might not make full justice the way Asif Bhai did to the track but will attempt to match the fun quotient as much as possible. Request all members who will participate to install Garmin Tread app on your phone and set up with your credentials. I will share a group drive code at the start of the drive and will request all participants to join the group drive. This will help us to track all members in the convoy should there be any break in the convoy. Please ensure that you exit the group drive after you have finished the drive.

Sorry guys it's indeed a FEWBIE level drive. Sorry for the confusion. @Sumedh Krishna@Alex K@Suneedh Wrangler@Chrismayer My apologies for the confusion on the Whatsapp notification. This is a Fewbie level drive.

congrats @Aggy22!!!

@Benje_Junior congratulations

Congrats! 🎉

Congrats! 🎉

Congratulations!

Congrats @Benje_Juniorand well deserved ! Kaizen is definitely applicable In the off-roading domain! The 5S from Kaizen in this case would be what: Sort, Straighten, Support, Steer and Step on it ? See you soon on the sand and you will do more than great as you have all the traits of what it takes buddy!

Hi Fred, some confusion on this one. Is it a newbie or a fewbie? Listed as newbie on WhatsApp 😅 cheers.

@B.K. Repeat after me: “ The investment in the beadlocks is insignificant for the reassurance and safety I will get while driving in the desert. I will have the peace of mind that I will be able to drive in a more relaxed manner knowing that my tyres will not come off the wheels, regardless of how fast we are going. It’s not something I want to do but it’s an investment in my safety.” This is what you need to be telling your wife. Save it for later

Thanks Aser for the info! I'm not quite sold yet on the beadlock rings as this is our daily driver for now. You are correct, the rims are headlock capable, the black ring is just molding. I think I will wait so see how frequently this happens for me. Doing some calculations, for the list price of the Mopar rings, I can get the tire remounted 41.93 times. And that's not including shipping, customs, cost of the bolts, and maintenance.... And..., the Jeep actually belongs to my wife so I can't surprise her with too many mods too quickly...

Wow this is incredible, thank you to everyone I met during my journey who supported, taught, and executed some of the best adventures I've had. These past 3 years have been an absolute blast, and I look forward to helping others on their own paths coming in the future. I think it's important to note that there is a popular Japanese business model that we should all follow, if that's within @Carnity or any other hobbies/ work, and that is Kaizen which translates to 'Continuous improvement' don't be afraid to self-reflect and overcome. throughout my time in the club, I have had many influential faces to look up to when it came to executing a safe and enjoyable drive, while making a ton of new friends on the way. Thank you @Davie Smooth_Operator you have been a big help within my journey and even though I've only stepped out the door I plan to take this opportunity to learn and improve along the way, your help is much appreciated from me. @Gaurav Thank you for this amazing opportunity to grow and learn the ways of off-roading in a safe manner, every drive is an adventure, and knowing you believed in my ability to coordinate, lead and now plan drives independently given my age compared to our buddies here at the club is something I appreciate a lot. Much appreciated lad I'm looking forward to seeing you soon on some drives. @Looper Thanks lad, 3 years have flown by, we have been driving together for what seems longer than that, looking forward to seeing you soon @Luke K P hahahah I will do!! cheers lad

Thank you Gaurav for the amazing drive! As discussed, I just wanted to share a quick summary of my off-roading experience as part of my request to be considered for a level upgrade. So far, I’ve done 7 off-road drives in total: 4 drives with another off-roading club here in the UAE, where I got familiar with convoy rules, dune driving, and basic recovery techniques. Plus 3 drives with my partner, who's an experienced off-roader, and helped me practice more advanced stuff in a one-on-one setting. During those personal trips, I had the chance to work on: Different self-recovery techniques, including recovery from the bottom of a bowl (where I got happily stuck) and using a rope The importance of never fighting gravity How to properly apply the right amount of acceleration Applying the right steering input to stay smooth and in control Driving at a faster pace A bit of technical dunes driving for better control How to safely do parallel crest crossings Climbing up the Iftar bowl and the surrounding dunes How to fix a pop-up Thank you again and I'm looking forward to the next drives with Carnity

First, I want to thank the entire convoy for waiting for me. I know that even a five-minute delay can be critical when starting the drive. @Looper drive was fantastic—amazing and i was more focused on the entire journey. I've seen similar ridge crossings and rides climbing on Reels, and honestly, I didn't expect I’d be able to do it. When I saw the track, I really regretted not having my 360 camera to capture the drive. Anyway, the drive itself was incredible. complete convoy drove well. @Brett Eicher I hope your beast (car) is getting fixed and back to its prime. For the first time, I actually opened my bonnet during a break to check everything is their inside. I saw @Rob S jumping over some of the ridges, and I chose to reroute myself to avoid going too high on the ridge with the bump. But overall, it was an extraordinary and amazing drive. after long time driving with @Mehmet Volga, see you all soon.

Amazing drive today @Looper - thrills and happily no spills on some great lines today in Sweihan. Thank you! A few videos off the 360… Looping off the ridge… Ridge Climbing… High Ridge Cross…
