Hi @ObiWanAkNoobiwelcome to the forum and club ! The Y62 is a very capable offroader, but it's delicate spots are: 1. The front and rear bumper. This is the first thing that will come off after a couple of drives. So either get them trimmed or replaced by a shorter model. 2. big stock rims that do not allow for tyres with a bigger sidewall. A smaller size rim would help. The skid plate or bash plate is a very good addition for offroading and definitely a good investment. Wheels and shocks i would not touch for now, as you are new into offroading and will still need to learn the basics first. With your stock suspension and wheels you will be fine. Once you have done 10-15 drives you will be in a better position to understand what you could/would need. @MMansoor@Lawrence_Chehimi@salah2u @Chaitanya D all drive or have driven Y62 and can advise you further.

Ah yes ! Need to test that heavy whale in Sweihan dunes 😅

DanielN @DanielN Mike M. @Mike M. Ron.P @Ron.P Joseph Sebastian @Joseph Sebastian premindra rajaram @premindra rajaram Rajat Verma @Rajat Verma Richard Franks @Richard Franks Juan R @Juan R imranaasghar81 @imranaasghar81 I had an amazing morning out with you guys, and I hoped you liked it as much as I did ! The blend of backcountry roads, farm tracks, dunes, and the wadis gave us a good view on how colorful UAE can be in this season. I also hope this instilled a desire in you all to explore as much as you can this part of the UAE, as it is still mostly unspoiled. You all drove fantastic and the spirits were high all morning. Thanks @Richard Franks for your excellent second lead role, and @imranaasghar81 for being a superb support and sweep ! Hats off to @Varun Mehndiratta for taking up this challenge and completing the track after having received it just the evening before. And again thanks for giving our waitlisted members the perfect morning out ! See you all soon in the sand / wadis / again !

Wishing her all the best @Gary F see you in the sand soon again

hahaha nope its the exact opposite!

Small teaser on what to expect tomorrow

Good news to all waitlisted members ! @george charbel@Pacific@Andrei S@Misha Puskar@Rk ram@Stan@Chris Wing@Mark B@Hugo@Sebb CONVOY VARUN @Varun Mehndiratta has stepped up to lead a second convoy, leaving from the same starting point but 1 hour earlier so we dont have 20+ vehicles in the same area. So kindly confirm your attendance the coming hours, and acknowledge that 7AM starting time is fine. Do remember that this is a scenic drive and not a dunebashing drive, the aim is to enjoy the scenic views and terrain. I am sure you will all love it. You can use Channel 3 - 446.056 Mhz Have fun ! PS please deflate to around 15PSI and not lower to make sure you have no tyre damage from the road crossing and wadi part. Have fun !
