Happy Friday Everyone. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow mornings bash around Khatim. Just good chance to put the foot down, and have some fun, and catch up with you all after a long hot summer. I'll lock the drive at 17:00 tonight and post the convoy list.. so if you can't make it please drop out of the RSVP's before then. @Zsolt @_Herman_ @Ahmed Farouk @Abdullah A. @ChrisW @Krinesh @Beide Worku @Looper3 points -

Appreciate you guys waking up super super early to come out, but as Surfer and Bank Robber Bohdi says in the classic surf movie Point Break: "if you want the ultimate,... you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price" and sometimes that price is waking up at 0400 🤣🤣 I'll try not to get crested too often2 points -

@Looper - it’s the usual “close by” location for Luke just adds extra 2 hours drive both ways for Dubai people 🤣2 points -

It was great work @Lukas Wii - the biggest lesson, which comes from experience, is that staying calm, being patient and working at it for longer than you might imagine is key. I’m always super impressed with @Asif Hussain’s self-recoveries…looks like nothing is moving but slowly slowly the car pops free! @Piotr. Last night I tried out the Insta360 X6 for the first time. It has a specific mode suited to night shots and it seems to work great.2 points -

Thank you all! @Lukas Wii welcome to night dune exploration trips, next time we have to put in the program “bashing plate test”. @Giacomo and @Sebastian Nohse your V8 Jeeps sounds amazing. I made also short movie. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc0OSxbomg_/?igsi=MWs0eHFtcGF1bzE3aA== BTW: @ChrisW which model of Insta360 do you have? Night shoots look good. I am looking for 360 camera, but I need stupid easy one to not create extra job to edit these videos.2 points -

We kicked off beside the truck road with a quick briefing on the plan for the night. @Asif Hussain, @ChrisW and @Giacomo added a few extra pointers on how to enjoy — and stay safe on — a Fewbie-level night drive. The most important takeaway: “If you see something scary, just turn off your lights.” 😂 With that valuable safety advice firmly understood, we headed into the technical zone for a few loops to warm everyone up and get comfortable driving in the dark. From there we moved into some larger terrain. We had a couple of refusals along the way, but unfortunately for @Sebastian Nohse, Giacomo and Chris, nobody managed to get stuck badly enough for them to break out their winches. As the drive progressed, I felt we found a really nice flowing Fewbie pace for nighttime. Rather than attacking the bigger climbs, we worked our way gradually higher — taking small steps, reading the dunes and picking a route through without needing any huge commitments. It made for a smooth and enjoyable drive, with plenty of time on the ridges and a good rhythm through the convoy. After 150 minutes of driving, it was time for the Coffee Club part of the evening. We pulled up, got the chairs out and sat around the light, enjoying the sight of a deep red moon hanging low over the desert. And Sebastian raised the Coffee Club standards considerably by producing actual espresso in the middle of the desert. ☕ A definite treat and a pretty perfect way to finish the night. @Lukas Wii I hope you enjoyed your first night drive, and we see you in some more. @Piotr. nice work convincing him to join and experience the dark side of desert driving. Good driving, good flow, good coffee and good company. 🌙☕🏜️2 points -

Hi Frederic and everyone, looking forward to joining you! Ford Bronco Raptor, 2025. I confirm front and rear recovery points and all required equipment (radio, safety flag, tyre pressure gauge and deflator). My onboard inflator/compressor is still being installed, so for now I’ll simply reinflate at a petrol station after the drive. I have 15+ years of off-road experience outside the dunes, including UTVs, rock crawling, mud driving and expedition travel. Looking forward to gaining more experience in the dunes with you!1 point -

@Myrko @jamil abdollah @Riyad @Danie @Thomas54675 Hew we go guys, drive order for tomorrow, short convoy, but that all good were have a nice relaxed morning see you in the sand1 point -
Before changing anything else, check clearance at full lock and full compression. Wheel offset, upper arms and alignment all work together, so test for rubbing first. Spacers can easily make it worse.1 point

Dear Desertnauts No particular info to share with this briefing, other than a note to underline that this will be somewhat of an exploration drive, through a sequence of diverse terrains, connecting areas, some of which have been driven by us before, but never in the same drive. The short convoy will allow us to do a little more exploration and manage the drive as we'll see fit to enjoy more of the landscape. We'll put together the convoy on the spot, and will rotate the drivers as we go along. See you tomorrow afternoon @Yerem Davtyan @Krinesh and @Steve Farmer.1 point -

AI gives the VQ38DD a 15 to 20 % chance but expects some kind of hybrid supported 4 cyl turbo as the petrol option. But for now, only the diesel is available. Good engine for overlanding style driving. The nissan VQ engine would be awesome for the GCC and already here as the base engine on the current Patrol.1 point
