Hi @munkybizness..have a safe trip and see you soon bro

Hi Vanessa 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ? Landcruiser V8 4.6 2) Do you have any prior offroad experience ? if so please specify. Had been to desert drive 4 years back in prado 3) Is your 4x4 equipped with towpoints at the front and back ? This is mandatory to join our drives. Yes its equipped For your first drive, i would request if you can bring the following items: * Pressure gauge- Yes * Tyre deflator- Yes * Air compressor so you can inflate your tyres after the drive (petrol station is nearby but has a defective compressor). If you have more offroad equipment, you are welcome to bring it along. Do not hesitate to post your questions on this forum.- yes available.

@Jad Moussalli the best approach is to get a flag holder fabricated by an off road garage. We cannot recommend through this forum, but you can do a search, call some of them and inquire. Some of them may sell suction cups. Other alternatives: - visit car accessories shops, there are many scattered all Quoz, Ras Al Khor, Barsha (Umm Suqeim Rd), they may have a solution for your car. - Off Road Souq group in Facebook Hope this helps!

We still have about 24 hours @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler enough to have many changes if joiners plans change. Will keep watching and will confirm.

@Hisham Masaad great drive once again! The group was amazing and I had a lot of fun. I did the rookie mistake of not checking my tyre pressures and paid the price at the end @Davie Chase congrats on the new drive shaft the Jeep is coming back stronger than before!

When you see the leaders cars in liwa crossing drive 💪💪💪 @Gaurav @Frederic @Srikumar

Hello everyone, Getting a flag suction cup in the UAE is mission impossible at the moment. Ace, speedex, and dragonmart are all out of stock… Anyone wants to sell his (with the flag or not) please let me know. Thanks

Sorry @Shaaz Sha! I really wanted to be on this drive - conquering Sweihan, especially with your eye for finding the most stunning tails of dunes is an experience nobody should miss out on. But I've got to fly out tomorrow and I'm so gutted that I will have to miss this, including a convoy of my favorite people. I'll make up for this soon enough.

@Anish S thanks for a very nice drive. I enjoyed your leadership. @Rajiv Sam and @Joji varghese excellent support, much appreciated. At the link you will all find some Gladiator POV videos of our drive as well as some images posted here. Enjoy. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TD8EGGWP89PvSJLT7

@Joseph Sebastian @Abed M @Mike Merdinian @Sunny84 @Stan Hassett @imranaasghar81 @Ashutosh Garg @Sivaprasad Gopalakrishnan @Shama Zamora @Markus B @Terence Sequeira @Jad Moussalli Welcome and thanks for joining this drive. Please make sure you have all the required gear for the newbie level, without which you would not be allowed to join. A deflator, tire pressure gauge, flag with mount, walkie talkie programmed to all the Carnity channels and a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive is the basic minimum. The convoy order will be put up on Friday evening, if any of you have a change of plan and will not be attending, please update your RSVP by tomorrow evening. Look forward to seeing you'll on Saturday.

confirm.

I am sorry but I cannot allow you on this drive, this is only for first timers. Unfortunately you will have to wait until next week to join a newbie drive.

Hi Vanessa , There is no drive for newbie on 24 Sunday so I will be thankful to you if you allow me to join this group. I wish to join the newbie drive on 23 Saturday but m working that day .

@Sam K and @fareed khuraishi Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! As a small introduction, kindly inform us about the following: 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ? 2) Do you have any prior offroad experience ? if so please specify. 3) Is your 4x4 equipped with towpoints at the front and back ? This is mandatory to join our drives. For your first drive, i would request if you can bring the following items: * Pressure gauge * Tyre deflator * Air compressor so you can inflate your tyres after the drive (petrol station is nearby but has a defective compressor). If you have more offroad equipment, you are welcome to bring it along. Do not hesitate to post your questions on this forum. See you on coming Sunday ! @shailendra singh vilkhu You already completed your Absolute newbie drive so I would like you to sign in for a Newbie drive instead. I will remove your name for this drive.

Confirmed. Thanks bro

Hi @ASAD.. Yes system is designed to do like that - it removes all WLs when you joined to a convoy. If you don't think you will join to Saturday's drive, I suggest removing yourself from that convoy then your WL number will change as the 1st drive in here. I will try to include all WL (it is 5 currently) as some drop-outs and no-shows are possible until the drive. But it is always headache having more than 14 cars in a convoy so will have to arrange if the WL continues to grow up. Your slot may move back if new entries with the 1st drive to the WL. If you remove your rsvp from Saturday drive, then you will stay on board...

Congratulations @Gilbert Khalil 💪

Congratulations @Gilbert Khalil ! well done!

Congratulations @Andrei S

Sorry I added myself by mistake. Wanted to join the Sharjah Newbie drive on the same day. Was able to leave event… thanks

I try to support you wherever I can!!! 😂

In the garage already @topgear she will be fixed up good as new ready for next weekend 👍😀🎉

Thank you for all the nice feed back, and great meeting you today. Yes we had good drive, despite terrain challenges and formation created after strong wind storm. Lots of sharp crests, sharp drops, bulldozer tracks and many small pockets. However, we all managed to enjoy the drive, all met challenges, the speed and all climbs. Well done everyone. In terms of achievements, I was honestly expecting much more, but as I said due to the changes happened, it was challenging. But still in 2 hours moving time, we made about 60 km. Below is the screen shots of the drive report. Thank you and pleasure meeting you again @Waqas Parvez as SL and @Ranjan Das as SW. It has been long since we last met Ranjan. Amazing drivers was happy to see again and really well done @Vaibhav @Davie Chase @Daniel Yang @Chris Wing @MMansoor @Humayun Ghias @Amir Amiri . Managed to have few photos will be in the gallery. Wish you nice weekend ahead. Take care please Hisham

@Davie Chase Sorry to hear about your bumper and differential noise, hope your Rubicon will be fixed up soon and good.

@Hisham Masaad thank you for the fantastic drive today. It had everything, fast, exciting, excellent dunes to play on, superb climbs and steep declines. cant think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning. However, with all good things come with the not so good lol, so my baby Red Rubicon is at the doctors, having a new bumper put on as we amputated the original one during the drive, (it had already had a bash or two so we just finished what we had started). A big thank you to @Chris Wing for carrying it in your car for the entire drive until i could make space for it. Should have her back up and running on Monday, however, the noise coming from the front differential might take a bit longer the joys of off roading :):) we have the technology to fix her up as good as new for the next adventure (hopefully next weekend) in the sand pit cant wait as today was a blast. Thanks to the team for waiting whilst we severed the remaining tendons that was still holding the bumper on so i could continue the drive. @Waqas Parvez thanks for your support as SL and @Ranjan Das thanks for the excellent support as SW. @Vaibhav @Daniel Yang @Humayun Ghias @Amir Amiri @MMansoor you guys as always drove superbly. What a great team today which made the experience even more enjoyable you were all fantastic and great company.. Pics of the severed bumper in the gallery lol

WOW, that's so nice to hear that. Well done @Hisham Masaad

@Hisham Masaad, this was my first drive under your lead and was far better than my expectation - it was fast, fluid and thrilling. Thank you for curating such an excellent Drive. At times it was challenging for me bringing up the rear behind the beasts – a great experience. @MMansoor, Hope your passenger is doing better now?Hope your passenger is doing better now? @Waqas Parvez, you were great as second lead. @Vaibhav, @Davie Chase, @Chris Wing, @Daniel Yang, @Humayun Ghias and @Amir Amiri, It was fun driving with you guys today thank you for the company. Wish you all a great weekend ahead.

@Hisham Masaad thank you for the wonderful drive today. It was fast and fun, some nice dune climbs and criss crosses. @Waqas Parvez thanks for your support as SL and @Ranjan Das thanks for your support as SW. @Vaibhav @Davie Chase @Chris Wing @Daniel Yang @Humayun Ghias @Amir Amiri great driving guys.

Im sorry, I cant make it to this drive as an urgent task is come up. Will look forward to next week.

Sorry. Going to have to remove myself from this drive @Hisham Masaad
