  1. Hi @Yaseen87 to remain unbiased as a club, we are not advertising or promoting any off-road shops on the forum. I would recommend to talk 1:1 to one of our many Pajero owners who have these skidplates and trimmed bumpers.
  2. Proposed Setup: This way the bonfire will not cause any light pollution to the camera enthusiasts.
  3. @Morshedi @Ahmad Shaker @Srikumar @Quresh Pajero @samamara @Trekado @imranaasghar81@Richard Franks@Ahmed Wagdy Good morning All ! Thanks for signing up to this Stargazing and Camping Night ! As we have many members in our club who are Photography enthusiasts, it is great that we can learn from each other's experiences on these evenings ! Furthermore, it has been a difficult last two years with many restrictions, so this evening is also intended for people who are not camera fanatics, but just want to enjoy the night sky with us and have a great chat at our bonfire. I have moved the original meeting point a bit further inside, as to avoid street light interference from Al Quoa Road. This is anyways a dirt track and i do not expect we will have to deflate our tyres. Whoever has some extra space in the car, and is willing to bring a bag of firewood, please do so. The plan is not to have a very large fire ( because we want to enjoy the night sky), but just something big enough to make it cosy. Ideally we can put the cars along the dirt road, and have the tents and bonfire on one side, and across the road the photography enthusiasts can setup their tripods and gear to capture the night sky. We expect the Milkyway to reveal itself between 02 and 4AM, and hopefully we can get a shot like this: Thanks @samamarafor sharing this photo, taken in 2020 at approx. the same location. It is absolutely stunning. I have put the starting time at 9PM but whoever wants to come early, please go ahead. Just try to stick to the same meeting point so we can all sit together. Below you can find a few beginner articles which will serve as a good reminder on how to setup your camera for astrophotography. Please don't be afraid to post your questions on this topic so we can help you out.

  5. Hi @Mostafa Elbadawi welcome to the club. Unfortunately we are completely full for this week. You can signup for next weekend’s Absolute Newbie drive once it’s posted Monday evening. Thanks !
  6. CONVOY LIST FOR TOMORROW @Ben Lee @Nadeem Ansari @Murtaza Bhuria@Damian Paliś@Faisal Patrol@Amr Paple@Guddi@Anoop Das I am looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow ! Before joining us tomorrow, please have a look at our Absolute Newbie Briefing video, here below. It will give you a good introduction to what we do and to which points you will need to pay attention: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING For radio communication we will be using walkie-talkies, on the frequency 446.006 Mhz. In the event you have one already please bring it along. For the members that do not have a radio yet, we will provide you with one that you can use for this drive only. Please be on time, and coming a bit earlier is even better so we can help you with tyre deflation. My Mobile number for emergencies: 0 5 6 5 0 4 2 6 3 2 See you tomorrow at 7AM at the meeting point: https://www.google.com/maps?q=24.818832,55.255631 You can park next to the cycle track, but be careful not to block the track, and be careful when crossing it.
  7. My suspicion is that during the spark plug replacement and injector cleaning they might created a loose contact on the air pump, located in that same area. If you error code is P0418, have a look here: P0418 TOYOTA: Code Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, & Tech Notes (engine-codes.com) Taking into account the problem only started after their works, i would be inclined to pressurize them on doing a real proper diagnosis, not just a reset. Is this the dealership btw ?
  8. Goodmorning @Amr Paple @Guddi @Murtaza Bhuria! Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! As a small introduction, kindly inform us about the following: 1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ? 2) Do you have any prior offroad experience ? if so please specify. 3) Is your 4x4 equipped with towpoints at the front and back ? This is mandatory to join our drives. For your first drive, i would request if you can bring the following items: * Pressure gauge * Tyre deflator * Air compressor so you can inflate your tyres after the drive (petrol station is nearby but has a defective compressor). If you have more offroad equipment, you are welcome to bring it along. Do not hesitate to post your questions on this forum. See you on coming Sunday !
  9. Hi @Damian Paliś that is fine, but if the plan is that you will be driving as well in the future, then you will need to make separate user ID. The reason is that your drive count and experience is being logged into our systems and we need to be sure this is always about the same driver.
  10. Hi @Amr Paple i would highly advise against it. For your very first drive it is much better to come alone so you can focus on getting used to driving in the sand without any distractions.

  14. Three men are in the desert when their jeep breaks down... They decided to split up to find some help. One of the lads, Jack, says "I'm taking the radiator since it has water in it." Another, Mike, says "I'll take a hub cap, for shade." They see their third friend, Greg, taking the door off. "What in the hell are you doing, Greg?" "Well if it gets too hot, *I can always roll the window down*"
