I'll be there with my new GO15s. My Coopers gave up on my last drive.

big dunes are like kids, see one, you have them all! but do plan a drive on them... will surely join

@Sunil Mathew @Ranjan Das @Patrick van der Loo thanks all for joining the drive. We will certainly do the drive and for Sunil, some portions might seem familiar as we were in a similar contingent sometime back. Most of the drive would take us in a different route to explore other dunes in the Swihan area. I was out of station this week and returned today. I saw this mural on the wall of the aircraft and it seemed familiar- any guesses what it could be?

Hi Goutam @Looper, Since RSVP was still open, taking the chance and adding myself to the drive. Hope that's fine?

See you tomorrow. Deflated and ready by 7!

Try the little software hack. It has turned my UV5R into a very quiet radio 😆

We are PowerFul and We are Plenty !!

3 Frederics on one drive hahahahahahah. This should be good.

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi bringing the ford ranger. did a drive with it already so got the feel for it. looking forward to the drive with you all tomorrow!

@Looper - hope we are on for tomorrow?? provided @Patrick van der Loo doesnt drop off ..that is!!

Good morning and happy Friday. ☀️ Just wanted to check the start time is 0800 as the finish is listed at 1830 I thought both might by typos. See you all tomorrow

I've had the UV-5R and the static was horrendous even with squelch at lvl. 9. After that, I bought the UV-9R and it's significantly better. I don't believe it to be faulty hardware, just software. You'll be happy to have spent that extra 20AED when you are cruising in the desert, listening to the wind. With the UV-5R all that I was hearing was: "...bzzzzzzzzz...bzz...bzzzz...bzzzzzzzzzzzzz".

UV5R/UV82 Squelch Levels - Miklor You will need to install free software called CHIRP on your laptop and also buy the double jack to USB special data cable. Amazon and DM sells them.

@Imran Asghar Hey bro, I had mine changed literally yesterday. I cant help you with the problem that they might snap... BUT I still wanted to tell you that my old plat ones were all worn and slightly rusted so I took the chance to upgrade to iridium while I was at it. We run a lot at high rpms so having some tough and resilient plugs is important Hope you solve it man!

Hi @Imran Asghar It is difficult situation if the spark plug and the cylinder head are seized due to high temperature. If you force it, it may break the thread on the cylinder head. Try to spray penetrating oil like WD40 bit more and soak it overnight. To prevent this happen in the future, we normally apply some anti-seized compound on every thread that exposed to extreme high temperatures like spark plug, exhaust manifold, turbocharger etc.

Mistubishi pajero, 2016, 3 door , silver I have a little bit of experience just driving some safe and easy drives with my brother and I confirm I have a tow hitch in the rear and 2 in the front. I have a radio and flag, compressor, spare tyre, straps and ropes, shackles, med kit and the other necessities
