Congratulations Mustafa. Well done.

A differential doesn't break so easily and you need to check what was the root cause for your previous differential to go bad.

Does this mean the LC repairs are still getting delayed?

Try grease, I think it's Lithium based. It helps reduce the salt formation

Hahaha... Personally I wanted it to be a special occasion with some good friends, old and new. For that I have to thank @Gaurav @Frederic and @Asif Hussain for joining this drive. It was so good to be driving together after what, 2 years? Plus when you have the excellent company of @Mus_hus78 @Zed @Ruan van den Heever @GauravSoni @Xavier Treasurer you know that there is going to be loads and loads of laughter. Regarding the drive of yesterday, it's safe to say that the bulldozer tracks have completely messed up the best dunes of the area. Dodging through that to find some tracks was the whole theme of yesterday's drive which added to the complexity and posed new challenges. Resulted in a few stucks and refusals, which brought out all the shovels and friendly banter as well. The deeper we went in Sweihan the lesser was the presence of bulldozer tracks (infact we found the bulldozer that was killing the whole of Sweihan), but the few remaining dunes had plenty of cross tracks from other places off-roaders. But keeping inline with the drive theme we did have our share of ridge riding , criss crossing and some interesting bowls to cross. We did have our play area to rev our engines to the limit. Excellent driving by all the drivers in what was genuinely a challenging terrain. Thanks guys and see you soon once again in the sands of Abu Dhabi (not Sweihan).

I am yet to a see a pic of Niki shovelling... Also @Gaurav if I may add, no gizmos such as A Track should be allowed during self recoveries... This is to keep a level playing field... 😅

Thats exactly what I had in mind...

Wow, the heavy weights of Carnity are on this drive @Gaurav @Frederic@Asif Hussain along with a lot of experience in @GauravSoni @Ruan van den Heever @Mus_hus78 @Zed and @Xavier Treasurer Fingers crossed for a smooth drive. I am going to be announcing the convoy number at the meeting point for a change. See you boys at 8:00 PM

The only issue is while passing that the testing center might ask you to cover it. The cops dont catch cars with uncovered light bars.

Nah. Would never wish for that...

My planned sweeper drives without any special lights. Are you sure you want to be in front of him? Dont worry, I will put you in a perfect spot between two cars having strong lights. Atleast you cant blame that you didn't see tracks taken. 😂 Welcome anytime

Noted. I didn't see your name on the RSVP earlier. Now, I do. Thanks. @Zed I see you have also signed up for the drive with your Y62, what is the story that you have informed this time at home? 😅

@Mus_hus78 @Xavier Treasurer @Ruan van den Heever @Hasan Wahlan @Gaurav @Frederic Wow!! Now that's a star studded lineup for tomorrow's drive. Gives us the chance to experiment a bit knowing that Gaurav and Fredy will be there to watch our backs. Looking forward to an exciting evening in Sweihan 🤞

Are you clearing or creating more confusion? 🤔

@Mario Cornejo @Niki @PaoloMaraziti maybe you can reduce the weight (for the car off course) by removing unwanted stuff like passenger and rear seats... 😜

This drive is restricted only for Support Team ranked members

Most welcome Thomas. Everyone can try their luck.

You are right Niki. Class 1 is at the base of Pajero bowl.

Its been 3 years as we went on 2 Dec 2018. If you recollect, I was second inline after you to make the attempt. Didn't get the chance then, will definitely try this time around.

We will have plenty of time as most cars that enter the bowl will need recovery. Happy to be the first to jump in the Pajero bowl

This has been the Pajero bowl for far too long...time to christen it as the Xterra bowl 😂 @Tbone @Foxtrot Oscar @Janarthan @sertac @M.Seidamand all the other Xterra owners in the club

It's quite strange that the other convoy didn't see the 8 cars coming through and still decided to make an attempt, or was there a gap in the convoy for them to think that our convoy was already through. How did you manage to get the Y62 out for a FB+ drive? Did you tell the wife that you were going for a NB drive?

Congrats @Yousef Alimadadi
