Good afternoon @Karthikeyan Govindarajan, @Anish Varghese, @Joshua Thibodeaux, @Willie, @Luc Khaldoun, I am looking forward to meeting you all coming Friday morning. @Joshua Thibodeaux, as you are a first timer with us, welcome to Carnity Off-Road Club! May I ask you: 1) if you have any prior off-roading experience ? If so please indicate where and what... 2) Is your Sierra equipped with a rear rated tow-hook/hitch receiver shackle ? For your first off-road drive it's sufficient to bring an off-road flag, a pressure gauge and a tire deflator so you can deflate your tires before heading into the sand. If you have more off-road tools please also bring them along. Please watch the below Absolute Newbie briefing video below as this contains all the essential informations to prepare yourself for your first off-road drive with Carnity: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING If you have any question, doubt, query.
