Trip Report Hope everyone had a great weekend, starting with such fun-filled and capable convoy riding on Sweihan dunes. I returned to Sweihan after 6 months and I was super happy to see such broad rolling dunes again. As someone prompted (cant recall who) I should better make it good, hope I live up to your expectation. After first 30 minutes of warm up and testing, I got a good feeling on the cars and drivers are capable, sensible and eager to learn and push. The first phase of drive went on enjoying the huge roller-coaster dunes for maximum fun with controlled pace to keep newbies safe and happy. During the second bit I purposely tried a notch-up and resulted in one refusal and tow rope stuck (quiet normal) that brought the great teamwork out to dig, help and laugh a little with beach party joke ;-). Last bit was the most exciting part where fewbie scaled the side slope to perfection and newbies tried the smaller U-turn to feel the vehicle dynamics up-close. Everyone did fantastic including 3 Absolute Newbies with great spirit and attitude. @Salim Akhtar you have done great for your first drive and with more experience you will enjoy your Pajero and off-roading more. Like I said many times during the drive, do not panic when you get stuck or experience any refusal as that blocks the simple instruction processing power and make recovery more difficult and risky. Enjoy the fun and take it easy, everyone get stuck and its absolutely normal and required if you really wish to grow. @Chantelle Williams Allen (Nick) since I saw you in the morning deflating with great enthusiasm and sitting on the floor, I knew you are a true outdoor person blessed with equally supporting wife. Whenever we see couple doing the chores together we know that this new hobby will take you both to the next level from bonding to even fighting for the steering soon. You did absolutely amazing with your Tundra and continue to enjoy off-roading safely. You may take a little longer time to excel considering long wheel base of Tundra that requires an inch of extra skills, caution and precision to handle, glide and cross through dunes. Nothing scary or alarming but just making a reference so you know where you really need to work hard. @Muhammed Saeed It was nice to see another Pajero from gone back era still kept in good nick. Your confidence clearly shows your previous experience and calm approach through out the drive. Just keep learning the off-road tricks and keeping a close eye on heat gauge as these Pajero have very little tolerance to hot weather. @Karthikeyan Govindarajan and @Josh T. thanks for supporting the SL and Sweep critical position with an awesome team spirit and support. @Nabeel Abdul Rahman @Santoso Marjuki @ShereenMK @John Vanderbleek it was nice to see you all and drive with you to keep a good and confident pace through out the drive. Looking forward to see you all again on sand.

So now we have a special job for bigger trucks....! Nice comparison.

Well done @Islam Soliman for establishing this new theme and taking off-roaders out for graduation ceremony. To be honest @Wrangeld has single handedly developed this theme for many months where my role was only limited to develop new leads. Maybe with you both in this game now, I feel tempted too to jump in to try my hand with "infamous chimney".

Friendly test to find the clear winner with a sensible approach is always welcome and healthy. On the other hand naming challenge / competition / battle will bring the ego to play that will def result in broken cars, suspension, drive shaft, radiator, axles, foundations, bushings, fried transmission or engine (been there done that). This is the sole objective of most other off-road clubs backed with off-road garages to maximize the damage and sell one after the other off-road products and upgrades. @Kailas experience is a living proof that there is no replacement of "skills" (mentioned above) than strapping ton of products and expecting stock cars to climb moreeb from stand still. Once you settle down (content) with what you have then only you will start practicing and improvising on your skill set that do take time to hone but once mastered you will really shine bright.

Many happy returns of your birthday (belated) @Foxtrot Oscar and welcome back. Enjoy hitting big number with smile and full of life charm.
