I was thinking not having a tank will impact the flow of the air via that air blow gun which will make it almost useless for blowing any dust
And you are absolutely correct, I have bought one with high hopes and never used again. As the loose or dry sand can be moved while the vehicle is moving, but dry sand stuck with some fluid is hard to get out of the engine bay unless you use car wash blow gun.

You can buy air blow gun with an adapter that goes on your compressor hose pipe.

MANY THANKS @Aser @Robk @Jeevan Koshy @Sumedh Krishna @Zeeshan Patel and @Sunil Mathew for brilliant teamwork to save LR4 today with tireless efforts and precise instructions at every key stage. Well done guys, you all rock the recovery today.
Apologies @Aidan Kennedy for shouting at times, as left vs right makes a huge difference in these critical angles.
Thank everyone else for your patience and support, yes we had a short spin today, but those virgin dunes without any shrubs was totally worth the chance. And we were blessed with great convoy and cars to enjoy those FB dunes at NB pace.

proper off road capabilities
With radar at the lowest level with 8.9 Inch clearance, will diminish that definition big time.
This is as per my quick search online, as I have never seen one in the sand so far.
If he is buying for family camping and NB level drive, I think it will be fine but with a lot of caution on descending every dune slowly.
Ask him to check if Ford offers one here without Radar and a more off-road-friendly bumper.
I may sound old-fashioned, but for off-road use, I will stick with known, proven models rather than betting on a new launch that comes with desert photo shoot marketing material.

Looking back through the footage and trying to learn more I have come to the conclusion that when the right rear popped out and the car rotated 90 degrees to the left the right hand side step became a plow and caused the car to roll right.
As you can see in the photo below it bent back until it hit the chassis at which point the car’s inertia threw the car over.
Sad to hear this Brette, but glad you were all fine, smiling and still scratching your head for the sideview mirror.
Take it easy, take a rest and deal with insurance firmly.

@JeromeFJ I would like to join this drive but currently I am Fewbie . I would like to know that if having attended the DCT 2023 will qualify me for this drive.
DCT is not considered as 1 regular drive for promotion, let alone the whole level for various reasons:
- Regular drive instill the course correction of specific skill and give everyone ample time to learn each skill correctly and safely.
- Regular drive convoy discipline, majorly decides when anyone is ready for the next level or not.
- Regular drive stuck and refusal are always welcome and encouraged for skill enhancement, rather than fighting gravity excessively or even borderline, which I am sure all DCT participants must have done during that day.
My humble advice, is don't rush through the promotions and enjoy every drive to learn off-roading safely, which goes a long way.

@Adam Black I see you have a RAM Rebel, please make sure it has a tow hook in front and rear, as in the past we had to send back a few RAM owners as they were missing the rear Tow hook.

Can I reach the meeting point from the main road?
Yes you can, step on loose gravel road, move forward 50 meter and park on left side to deflate.
