Pristine sandy dunes run in long and parallel lines, allowing new off roaders to get comfortable with desert driving, and beginning to practice the essential maneuvers to venture on the sand with friends and family. If the convoy's skills will allow, we can move up the drive to learn more complex driving techniques.

Overall, we plan to enjoy a relaxing afternoon and sunset in the desert, with the opportunity also to see many wild animals.

Hey guys I wanted to ask if anyone has skid plate installed on new Prado ? I’m interested in what’s the design of it and how close is it to radiator? Pics would be helpful. I installed mine and I think it damaged my radiator instead of protecting it , I want to know what’s the usual tech behind like where is it attached to , how far away from radiator and other things. I assume it’s moving a bit while hitting dunes so there must be some spacing / spacers that don’t compromise clearance. Let me know Prado lovers if you have Any suggestions or similar experiences . Thanks 🙏

Thank you Doctor 😊

Thank you @Mahesh_ for the kind message. Haha yes try to keep the plot twist under wraps until the very end 🙏 Thank you for being part of so many memorable drives and adventures together. Wishing you many more epic drives ahead!

Thanks so much @Andrew John Melvill I’ll definitely miss the drives and the amazing club members even more. It’s been an unforgettable chapter, truly grateful and all the best to you too ✨ @Jose Luis Campos same here! Many thanks and cheers to more fantastic drives ahead!
