Made it on time, deflated and started moving. Pink rock, big red, and then badayer. Short convoy, capable and hungry drivers, the result is as below. Thank you @Bashar Beasha and @Ahmad Nerat for joining. Well done. Like the flower design track at the big red😅. As you can see, didn’t reach top of big red, since was occupied by the safari cars.

im just gonna have one big sticker that says 'BLIND EVERYONE' so you can have my fan sticker. 😎

Fredy, this gang switch is amazing but why only 1 sticker for a fan? Damn it I can't buy it now.

@Hisham Masaad, many thx for the amazing drive. We should change the name to ViP fewbie drive in the blog... We started on time, Only three cars achieved the starting point. @Bashar Beasha, with his super safari was flowting in the dunes like a better fly. The drive was mixed with different terrains @Hisham Masaad was leading and @Bashar Beasha was then next and i was enjoying the scene from the back. Hisham was pushing us slowly but surely.. once we reached the big red dunes, things started to be more challenging while we crosing and climbing the dunes. On the otherside safari cars were flowting like crazy around us. At the point i believe Hisham decided to draw his master piece track to looks like a flower: It was really challenging and nice.. At the particular time, Badayer dunes were calling us 😁😁🤗🤗 to give it a try... I was so happy when Hisham took us to Badayer... Honestly, the last 30 minutes in Badayer worth the whole drive.. we completed successfully the drive with big smiles on our faces with zero issues. Finally, i argues our generous Marshalls to orgnize more drives in Badayer area for Fewbies 🤪🤪. For the time being, ill work hard to achieve the next level in the group as fun keeps going up as we going further in enhancing our offroading skills.. Short report vedio can be found in the bellow link https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS89ste1w/ Thx again Hisham for all of ur efforts and insight's.. Thx carnity for giving us this opportunity to enjoy offroading. Looking forward to drive with all of u. Ahmad

@Ale Vallecchi good afternoon,please any update relating to the starting points location . With thanks

Thanks @Waqas Parvez! I’m sure I’ll do, see you there! Thanks @munkybizness! Hahahaha, I’m sure there won’t be much time to spare on the radio on an IM drive…

Better late than never. After a hectic working week, I finally found some time to sit and write a quick response to one of the best drives I have ever had. Thank you @Frederic for pulling this together and for all the effort you have put to be a sucessful expedition. Thank you @Gaurav @Srikumar @JeromeFJ for all the knowledge that you guys give for us to be a better, safer drivers and for the support keeping us together in one piece. @KAMALIO @Ashutosh Garg @AlexM @Ranjan Das @munkybizness @Naveen Raj @Foxtrot Oscar thank you for the amazing company. Still can't get out of my mind the dodgy stuck rental car in the middle of nowhere A drive to remember. See you all soon.

@Gary F came across a perfect example of how to and how not to approach a ridge. Check the approach angle of first car vis a vis second one (that failed and it’s good it failed as only way for him was counter steering which would have been super dangerous) https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpLBT2vvVDg/?igshid=MjkzY2Y1YTY=

Thanks Frederic, Hmm the gang panel switch box really removes a lot of the hassle of future upgrades... excellent idea to use that instead. I will have to give this some more consideration before i start poking more wires around,,... consideration needs a good beer as well. 😎

@Ignacio Quindós - welcome to the IMs where we talk more on the forum, than on the radios Enjoy the new pace!

There should be a rubber grommet that leads to your glove compartment. But i have another question for you: - Will this be the only lights you will add ? or do you plan to have more in the future ? The reason is this, i recently came across the Auxbeam switch panel and must say although it is not super cheap, i was extremely impressed with how easy it was to install multiple lights or other external items. Have a look here: Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Panel, Universal Circuit Control Relay System Box with Automatic Dimmable On-Off LED Switch Pod Touch Switch Box for Car Pickup Truck Jeep Boat UTV SUV, BA80 Blue 2 Year Warranty : Amazon.ae: Automotive So far i have always done my own installs by buying the relays, wiring, fuses, etc.. but even though i do my best, after a couple of years, and a lot of heat and sand, those wires became brittle, and the relays started to fail. The fact that this is a one-stop solution with IP65 rating really could be a life-saver. Installation over the weekend with a helper and a good beer

@Ignacio Quindós enjoy your new level and the pace
