Congrats @Pancho

Congrats @Ale Vallecchi. I never got a chance to drive with you but i always feel my presence in your ride while reading your trip report. You achieved this level in very short time.. hat of to you Ale..

Suction cup is good enough for light weight flag pole. If you are using heavy pole the one which is available in ACE hardware requires a proper fabricated bracket bolted to your vehicle.

@Sajit Modiyil if you are driving in desert it is very important to replace the oil before the maintenance intervals. The normal operating temperature is 65deg to 80deg celsius. But while offroading it is a different story it reaches to 80 to 95deg and sometimes beyond that when you push it hard. As a rule of thumb every 15deg increase in operating temperature above 80deg cuts the life of fluid to half. For example if your car manufacturer requires to change the fluid at every 45000km under normal driving condition and if you are a weekend off roader it is very important for transmission to be serviced at every 30000 km to keep your transmission healthy. Always use recommended fluid specified by Nissan in owners manual.

@Biju Abdul your radiator is sitting inside frame. 6mm thick aluminium is more than enough. If you have hanging radiator then you should go for a thicker plate with proper radiator support bracket.

Happy Birthday Vaneesa.. wish you many many happy returns of the day

Driving through sabkhas in between the drive is good for vehicle. Actually you make them breathe and smile.

Trip Report @Remco Snoek @Pancho thanks for joining the drive on this lovely morning didn't feel like we are in middle of summer season. We all reached on time at meeting point and it was still dark. Deflated, flags raised and waited for first appearance of light in the sky. It was a super sweet convoy with only 3 cars. Remco snoek was in second place and Pancho as sweep. Khatim area is totally new for me and this was my second drive. This area has small to medium size dune and it is a perfect place to learn for newbies and fewbies. @Remco Snoek with his 2.7ltr V4 fortuner was not confident to do sideys in some of the dunes, he is to skip it or exit early. I really liked the way you drove by not attempting were you are not confident and pancho with his wrangler followed all my track precisely. We finished our drive near some good set of medium sizes dunes where we played and circled for 30min and exited on time. See you all soon and will explore some new area. VID_20200725180512.mp4

Drive Report @IMAMP @Remco Snoek @Jeffrey Osito Pilgreen @Martin. thank you all for joining sweihan drive. It was pleasent morning and we all reached on time, deflated and started to explore the dunes without wasting time. We entered the dunes from a different side today and had to tackle lot of pockets one after other. Keeping @Jeffrey Osito Pilgreen driving his whale GMC canyon in mind I decided to leave that area and drive down side towards naqrah dune where there are huges set of long range dunes. I slowly started to increase the pace and everyone drove well and where upto the mark. We kept moving with ridge riding and sideys whatever came in our path. At one moment I crossed a ridge and waited for others to cross and I was watching one by one. @Jeffrey Osito Pilgreen did perfect crossing and stopped at 20 to 30deg angle and I was guiding him to steer right and come down but he was not moving and I heard him saying my air bags. GMC canyon side air bags beployed and his car stalled. We had to reset the computer to bring it on flat track. Without wasting time we cleared all the bags which was blocking the side views and Jeffery decide to exit. We dropped him to nearest exit and continued our drive. We had few refusals and few stucks today. @Remco Snoek you had done a brilliant recovery of @IMAMP at soft patch and my recovery twice. @Martin. you had done a brilliant sweep duty. @IMAMP &@Jeffrey Osito Pilgreen you guys drove amazing. Jeffrey hope you will fix your ride and join us soon. Install a kill switch or locate the exact fuse location to diactivate airbags by removing before the drive. We always mention in our newbie briefing to disable all the traction aids and air bags. Side airbags are designed to deploy at certain degree impact. Cars equipped with side air bags must disable them before you start off-roading. Sometimes airbag sensors senses the impact and triggers. It was nice day out. See you all soon. VID_20200704005702.mp4
