Ramandbx @Ramandbx kiranshinde @kiranshinde Senthil Kumar @Senthil Kumar Adam James @Adam James Pieter Potgieter @Pieter Potgieter Joji varghese @Joji varghese Rsjiv Samuel @Rsjiv Samuel Alex Hollands @Alex Hollands eldose baby @eldose baby Sara EL FANIDI @Sara EL FANIDI Larry Cadden @Larry Cadden Kamal Dhanwani @Kamal Dhanwani One less sleep to go until myself @Alex Raptor and @Jeepie will have the pleasure of leading this convoy out through the fun and sands of Lehbab. You're in for a treat ... at least I think so, because the terrain here is varied and quite challenging in parts: For sure, we have to cross one technical section of dunes that will require all your concentration and keeping your wits about you. There's also some wonderful wide dunes and slopes on which we can play and practice what you've all learned so far on your off-road journey (whether that's 1 previous drive or 100). I promise to post the meeting place later in the week (need to be sure that the gates that have to be open are still open). Once again, we request that in the event anyone cannot attend, remove your RSVP and post something on the forum here as well [it's just polite to let us know you're not coming]. Any questions, feel free to ask here. See you soon in the sand.

  12. Ideally no. If the tyres are worn out I would recommend changing to ATs like Yokohama or Kumho. BFG and Cooper are too heavy and have thick sidewalls which are not the best in the sand. But if the existing tires are in good shape, you can continue using them on the sand. Not the best option, but it will do.

  13. Dear @JeromeFJ, I believe, given that we have only 5 participants, you can be already confirmed for this drive. Please feel free to plan for your PCR in due course.

  24. I ran on HT tires till fewbie + (15 drives almost), untill one of them had air leakage and tire shops couldnt identify the reason. if you get a used car with 4 good HT tires, perhaps sell them as a set and get new AT tires are your best option. you dont want surprises in desert.

  25. Dear @ShereenMK, unfortunately this is a Fewbie Plus drive and your rank in @Carnity doesn't allow you to join it. I have therefore removed it from the RSVP, I hope you understand this is for your own safety, especially in this particular drive that entails going through some very large and deep bowls and across some very high dunes. I'm sure you'll sure make it to Fewbie Plus soon and look forward to having you in one of the next drives.

  30. Stock rims are much safer, stronger and reliable as they are OEM. If ever you get bored and need an upgrade for cosmetic purpose then go with any good brand with reputable name and not fake replicas. Fake replicas will cause pop outs and extremely difficult to fix those pop outs. If you stick with any AT tire on OEM wheels, you will most likely not require a bead lock as you will only pop-out accidentally like once in a year or two year.
