You've been moved to the drive automatically, please confirm if you still like to join tomorrow's drive. @Harshad Ashraf and @KAMALIO, I have extended the convoy to 12 and added you both too, please confirm if you still like to join tomorrow's drive.

Hi Charles, it's completely your choice, as from the safety side, the stock wrangler roll-cage is perfectly fine. Just check the weather update, as I heard there is a chance of rain if you mind getting interior wet.

Requesting everyone to please watch this briefing video without any distractions. @Andre Olivenca @Eli Zandro Hamoy @ZULFIKHAR NAIYAR @Kishore Venkat @hugo @Charles Wallace @Sivakumar @Nasr.990 @Vinod Damodaran @Udit S @Abdul Basit Khan @Shahzad Akbani

Hi Fayaz, welcome to carnity, please waitlist yourself in drive calendar, so if anyone drops out, you will be first in WL.

Welcome back Basit, good to see you after a long.

Warm welcome to all new joiners to the club ! @Andre Olivenca @Nasr.990 @Shahzad Akbani As a basic introduction, kindly reply to the following: 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing? 2) Do you have prior offroading experience? If so please specify. 3) Does your vehicle have front and back tow points? This is mandatory for all vehicles. 4) Does your vehicle have a minimum of 8 inches of ground clearance at front and rear bumper? Off-road Gears Needed For your very first drive with us, we would like to ask you to bring a tire pressure gauge, deflator tool, and a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive. (the one near the gas station is usually not working). The next tools you will be needing from second drive onwards, are a walkie-talkie, offroad flag, and a decent shovel. If by any chance you have these tools already you are of course welcome to bring them along on your first drive. @Eli Zandro Hamoy @Kishore Venkat @Sivakumar Please specify if your Patrol is Y61 (Safari or super safari) OR Y62? If its Y62, please specify you do have a minimum of 8 Inches of ground clearance under front and rear bumper and not having any Nismo or other body kit under the bumper.

Hi @Vinod Damodaran welcome to carnity and thanks for your introduction. Good to hear that you have previous off-road experience, but my concern seems to be with your Rubicon having 40 Inch tires. To install 40 Inch tires (if it's really correct) you must have added a huge lift too (6-10 Inches) and deviated far from the original center of gravity. Such extreme lift and tires are meant for rock crawling at a very slow and controlled pace. Driving on the sand, even at this absolute newbie drive, you have a huge risk to roll over with such a higher center of gravity unless you be super careful at all dunes and at all times. Hope you understand my concern and accept my advice positively. I also hope you have the same size of the spare tire too as part of your upgrade package.

I don't have anything in my mind, it's your complete choice to pick whatever you like to use/prefer. 99% of the time Adnoc close to end point (4-5 km away) have broken down inflator, and if 1% its working then it will have 20 cars queue means you will either have to wait for 1-2 hour for inflating tires. OR Drive down another 16 km to nearby ENOC on deflated tires at 40 kmph (max).
