  1. @Nivi @sophiedana @Xandi @Emma @Bindi @Giovana @Rasna @Juanita

    Great to see you all joining this Absolute Newbie drive for ladies to celebrate International Women's Day with Carnity.

    I have trained more than 1,000 Absolute Newbies in my off-road tenure and know exactly how each of you must be feeling now or on the day of the drive. Be rest assured, you will enjoy the day out in the sand with complete safety and will return loving your car more than before. That's the usual comment I keep receiving from people, why we haven't tried this before...!

    Thanks, @Vanessa8580 (Carnity Lady Marshal) for joining this drive and sharing your passion for off-roading and experience of several years to help introduce the fun and excitement of desert with newcomers.

    I would request you all to please introduce yourself along with your car and off-road experience (if any), which will help me plan the convoy list soon.

    • Please share your vehicle details - Make, Model, Color, and Year.
    • Do you have any prior off-road experience? If yes, pls share details.
    • Confirm your vehicle has front and rear tow hooks/eyelets.
    • Confirm that you have watched this: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING

    - Does she need to register on Carnity for this drive?

    Yes please, and with that free ID she has to RSVP for this event.

    2 hours ago, Nicolò said:

    - She would be using my Jeep, you already have all the details about the car on my profile.

    She still needs to fill in the details for your Jeep, as it will tie that info to her profile.

    2 hours ago, Nicolò said:

    What other info would be needed on your side?

    Just regular profile info fields, those are mandatory with an asterisk, including Emergency contact info.

    2 hours ago, Nicolò said:

    - I'd like to join her on this day, would it be possible for me to passively be there?

    Most welcome, but rem you said it "PASSIVELY" here, so you don't distract her and be a good boy, lol.

  8. Yes for sure bad angle due to lift is the number one reason for driveshaft failure or fatigue.

    Drive shaft failure was a known issue in the Jeep Wrangler JK models (not so much on JL) and those owners upgraded to heavy-duty aftermarket shafts. Terraflex, Rough Country, Hurricane and Revolution are some brands u can search on the same line if you need to spend 6k. They might cost u less.

  9. Welcome Ben,

    Less used/abused Xterra would be better in the long run.

    If you can't find a clean one, then Pajero 3.8 would do good with a little extra love and care. Rem to exclude 2009 - 2012 models Pajero that have gear upshifting (known issue). @Frederic correct the year range, if I am wrong, please.

  10. Leaking Engine Crank seal is a known issue of Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeeps know it very well along with the whole world.

    Hope you aren't paying for every seal change...! The cost of a seal is negligible, but the labor to install an engine crank seal is huge.

    While in warranty, look for an aftermarket heavy-duty seal that might help solve this issue permanently.
