i have a Deflator but not a Pressure gauge,

You need a pressure gauge to set the precise air pressure. You can buy from any hardware shop.

@Riyal Shareef @Mark Pendle welcome to Carnity Offroad club

@Mark Pendle Kindly reply with a small introduction:

@Riyal Shareef @Mark Pendle As a perfect preparation for your first drive with us, please go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video posted below which really helps in getting you to understand the first basic essentials, so please watch it with full attention.

If you have a UHF Radio you can bring it along, and program it to the Carnity Frequencies as per the below post. If you don't have radio we will provide spare radio to use. From the second drive onward you need to get your own radio.

@Asif Hussain I had fun following your xtrerra and reroutes through the night.. you got me at that crossover , when I crested..  

Thanks @Gary F you were fantastic in your sand runner. Believe me initially I was looking behind at every ridge thinking that you might get crusted with your LWB, but whenever I looked back I is to find you next to me.

Turns out the rubber padding between the leaves had turned hard (not brittle) and rock solid and literally became a hard object between the leaves and were stressing at the contact point which ultimately cracked the leaf during a bump.

This might be the right reason @Krishna R. I was trying to figure out the reason how it broke when I was under your xterra fixing the leaves. I had noticed the rubber padding 3mm to 4mm thick given with gaps in between under each leaves.

The leaves were not resting on each other as seen in the pictures above and i believe this might had stressed the blades to become weak and gave up.

Trip Report

Sweihan drive is always filled with excitement and this time we doubled the excitement by venturing to a new area towards Al Ain airport. My liwa quest was complete towards the end of the drive. The stunning dunes one after other, huge bowls, sharp crest, star shaped dunes was really mind blowing. 

Small silent convoy with just 5cars made this drive possible to complete 70km in 4hours with 3hours moving time. @Pascal was in second lead and did all the correction pricelessly whenever required. @Benjamin you are really amazing I loved the way you approach and attack dunes and ridges, good control young boy keep it up 👌 @Jona you are truly amazing it was really nice to see your FJ climbing high rise and crossing ridges. @Santoso Marjuki was at sweep and thanks for not leaving anyone behind and guiding us whenever we had refusals and for offering me vitamin reload which gave me extra energy to drive back home. 

See you all again soon.
