Absolutely, but be aware that without any prior off-road experience this might cause a distraction for you. Also make sure everyone wears the seatbelts at all times.

Hi Pacific, i will add you to the waiting list as we are currently full. Waitlist: 1) Muhammad Kashif Razzaq 2) N@ved 3) Pacific

@GD27 and @Pacific i understand your points, but recoveries (however hard they are or long they take) are sometimes a part of an Offroad drive, and this Absolute Newbie drive is designed with a longer briefing specifically tailored for new joiners. The Newbie level drives are only slightly more paced (10-20%) based on the convoy response so don't be worried about the lack of drive experience. As you have both done the Absolute Newbie drive, you are now considered Newbies and eligible for Newbie level drives, not the Absolute Newbie drive anymore. If the existing Newbie drives are full please send a message on that drive topic with the request to be put in the waitlist. I will remove you both from the RSVP list now. Thanks !

Dear @GD27 According to our data you have already taken your Absolute Newbie drive 1 week back. Please note this drive is reserved for anyone who has never driven with Carnity before. Please confirm, so I can sign you off the drive. Thanks !

Good point about leaving the hoses flat in the trunk to let them cool down. Cleaning the air filter can be done by removing it and slightly "tapping" it on the floor, you will see most of the sand will easily fall out. The 5 year warranty is a great thing and i considered a MM too, but as i am seriously impressed with the Camel brand single big piston model (160lpm) We've been using now for the third year (only replaced the hose once:60 AED), i went and bought another one yesterday for 250 AED. Fingers crossed and hope this one will be as good as my first Camel compressor.

@Nagham Albeitawi @Ahmed Mohieddeen @GD27 @Antony Calvin @Osama Al Hamwi @Tejas Patel @Gesa-Marie Louise Fischer @khurram.k A big warm welcome to all newcomers to the Carnity Offroad Club ! Kindly introduce yourself with the following info: 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ? 2) Any prior offroading experience ? If so where and what ? 3) Please confirm your 4x4 has front and rear towpoints that are in perfect condition For your first drive, you would only need a pressure gauge, tyre deflator, and a compressor (the Qudra petrol station compressor is out of service). Please have a look at the Absolute Newbie briefing video posted in this topic: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING And you will find more information about the various Offroad tools here: Do not hesitate to ask your questions here ! Best regards, Frederik

Dear @Ganesan Kathirvel. According to our data you have already taken your Absolute Newbie drive 2 weeks back. Please note this drive is reserved for anyone who has never driven with Carnity before. Please confirm, so I can sign you off the drive. Thanks !

This video catapulted me right back into Bu Tais !!!! Thanks so much for making this unforgettable experience caught on video !

Congrats @DANIEL NOGUEIRA !!

Congrats @Gavin Hill !

I would try first for a few drives and see if you face any issues.

Check during installation if there is any running while steering completely left or right. On Vanessa her Pajero we have put a 2inch spacer to have slightly wider center of gravity.

This size comes to an overall diameter of 31,6 inch, which is the same as Vanessa her 265/65/18 tyres. She has no issues with rubbing. Maybe some of the inner fender lining is offered to the desert gods though

Yes absolutely but have a look if it’s not running the inner fenders too much. They are fantastic tyres for off-roading.

DRIVE REPORT There are only a few places that could come close to LIWA, but Bu Tais is definitely one of them... We all met up on time and came across another convoy (not Carnity) at the same meeting point. They were looking for their marshal and realized a few minutes later they had to go further inside. We did a quick briefing with emphasis on not fighting gravity and keeping it safe at all times. As i mentioned before we would all have to challenge our 4x4's for several hours in this terrain, so we needed to keep a fresh head. With @Asif Hussain in my second lead, followed by the two capable Pajeros @Gaurav Soni and @Mus_hus78, we made quick progress through Bu Tais, with enough sideys to wake us up and get us on the top of our seats. The Xterra boys @Asif Hussain @Kalahari and @Rizwanm2 brought lots of power to the game, but amazing driver skils as well. @Christian Andras felt lonely in the only Toyota but he made it up by trumping us all with the massive power and it truly was a sight to see ! @Gaurav was the silver bullet in the back of the convoy: patiently waiting for his turn to make a sidey and after his attempt we knew there was little possibility to get it more spot-on After having met up at the 7 palms relatively early in the morning, i decided to launch Plan B and head out to Umm Al Oush and its famous star dunes. This involved getting through some funny technical dunes but all managed extremely well ! Once reaching the Star dunes, we were greeted with the most amazing sights, and seeing Asif bhai his smile standing on the top of the star dune made it even better. Apart from some crests and small refusals to keep us a bit active, we ventured around in these dunes with very few issues. As the clock kept ticking and i wanted to get the convoy out on the East Side of Umm Al Oush, i decided to head back, and we took the Paris Dakar dirt track that lead us back to the entry. Could i have stayed longer in this terrain ? Absolutely, but i always remind myself of the quote "Quit when you're winning" and try to follow the same. A big thanks to the support of the drive that was ALL OF YOU ! I wanted to explore this area for a long time already and thanks to you guys we were able to conquer it ! We will be bringing more of those drives this season, so get ready for some action and adrenaline ! https://www.relive.cc/view/vrqDQzYAJLv
