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.

No worries Mayank, will see you soon. Wish your better half a speedy recovery, hope nothing serious.

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone, please find the convoy number below. We will use Radio Channel 6. Please set up your radio in advance to respect everyone's time. @Jeevan Koshy @Maytham Mahroos @Aidan Kennedy @Adam Black @Fabien Monleau @Sandeep Nayar @Julien Recan @Kevin_ @Robk @munkybizness @Mahmut SARILI @SUMEDH KRISHNA WAGHMARE @Aser @Osama M @Zeeshan Patel @Sunil Mathew Gaurav Silver Pajero SWB Jeevan Koshy 2023 Toyota FJ Cruiser Black Maytham Mahroos 2023 Patrol super safari grey Aidan Kennedy LR4 2016 Adam Black 2023 Ram Rebel - Silver Sandeep Nayar 2021 Totoyta FJ Cruiser - White Julien Recan Jeep Wrangler 2022 Sunil Mathew 2014 Toyota Fortuner White - Support Kevin_ Jeep Wrangler Robk 2021, Jeep Gladiator, Gray Mahmut SARILI Jeep Wrangler 2005 SUMEDH KRISHNA 2019 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR SPORT Aser 2018 Jeep Wrangler - black Zeeshan Patel 2022 FORD F150 RAPTOR GREY

@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.

Yes you can, step on loose gravel road, move forward 50 meter and park on left side to deflate. @Osama M and @Zeeshan Patel you have been moved to RSVP please confirm if you are still like to join.

Not really, it's light compared to others. Patrol SWB is 2100, Pajero SWB is 1950. Mine at the weigh bridge was 2200 (Gross).

1815-2040 to be precise https://toyota.dreamhosters.com/pages/land_cruiser_70/spec_Short_Wheelbase.php

It's gross weight with a full fuel tank and 5 passengers. Kerb is around 1850-1900 kgs.

Happy Birthday @Frederic and keep guiding all of us with your creative adventures and kindness. You are not only an exceptional offroader, crew or lead but also a remarkable friend, brother, and true trend-setting hero. Your unique talents and qualities make you truly special. May god always keep you smiling, happy and healthy.
