Congrats @Thomas Varghese that’s a mighty achievement!!

Correct, no need for Outside+ subscription.

Gaia GPS website shows 39.99USD for a yearly subscription.

Sharing this from @Srikumar: Morning Everyone, with the change of weather there is a chance of early morning fog especially as you move more inland. During those times, AD Police will reduce the speed limits on the road sometimes even to 80 km/h. If you don't adhere to the new speed limit your Liwa trip will just become a little more expensive. They send this message via the AD Police app or via a warning SMS on your mobile. Drive safe.

DRIVE RSVP IS NOW CLOSED Dear Team, @Ahmad Shaker @Salim Akhtar@Simon Dawood @Trekado @AlexM@Karthik Raptor@salah2u@KKIRAN@Senthil Kumar@Richard Franks@JeromeFJ I hope you are all looking forward to this adventure as much as i do ! We will be using Carnity Channel 1: 446.006Mhz. Make sure your radio is fully charged. A few IMPORTANT notes, communicated over Whatsapp already earlier this week: 1) Only one extra passenger will be allowed (no people in the back seats). 2) Make sure your AlHosn App shows green status and latest PCR is not older than 14 days if you have received the booster, and not older than 96hours if you have not yet received the booster. 3) Ensure your 4x4 has been recently serviced and all fluids are topped up. It's advisable to bring the car to your mechanic this week just to double check oil levels, battery condition, tyres, and coolant levels. All this can be verified in 1 hour max. and will give you more comfort. 4) Make sure your spare tyre is in good condition. It should be the same size as your other tyres. Small variation of 2-3% in tyre diameter is however acceptable. Ensure you have the wrench that fits the wheel nuts. 5 ) Make sure your tank is full when you arrive at the meeting point and bring in total 100-120l for a V6, and 120-140l for a V8 in petrol. (total amount of tank + jerrycans). In my case i have a 80l tank and will bring 30l extra in Jerrycans. There is no gas station throughout our entire journey in the desert. 6) Keep your car light and only take the essentials. You will need all the power your engine can deliver. 7) Bring enough snacks and water (5-10l water). Some light lunch and dinner are preferred. 8- Radio should be fully charged. If you have a spare one, plz bring it along. 9) Get enough rest. I will be camping / sleeping in my car nearby the meeting point the night prior. The ADNOC Khanoor station is only a small service station, but the ADNOC LIWA has a shop and toilets. (https://goo.gl/maps/5QJeUUsrVawRGU5PA) 10) Bring all your offroad tools as per your level. 11) Your car will contain a lot more equipment than usual. Please ensure everything is strapped and secured properly. If you have extra space for a bag of firewood, kindly bring it along. It would be nice if we can warm us by the fire in the evening. Starting time: 7:00 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions) Starting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/gzyx4wRN5HBA4fdp8 You can come early and camp at the same starting point if you like. Last Fuel Station: https://goo.gl/maps/FSUzbzURjQRGvFVN9 ADNOC Khanoor (832) Lunch Break: 1 Hour and several short breaks in between. Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance. Approximate finish time: 12:00 PM, 20 Feb 2022, Sunday For urgent updates, issues, or questions, kindly use the Whatsapp group as i won't be checking the Website anymore. See you all tomorrow !!

Your maximum validity for PCR is only 14 days so I think you’ll need to get a test done

Yes your Al Hosn app will need to be in Green Status

When you are offroading with friends but mom calls you to say food is ready..

1. The G012 is obsolete from what i've seen. The G015 is now the usual model. Both are A/T tyres. 2. On your Pajero 3.8, you will not be able to go below 17inch due to the front disc brakes. Cheapest option is to keep the original rims and get 18inch Yokohamas, better option is to swap the rims for 17inch (mitsubishi or aftermarket) and go for Yokohama with bigger sidewall as it will have less chance of pop-outs. 3. If you have already a lift kit, yes it would make sense to go for the 265/65/18 as it has more sidewall. That model of Yokohama might be bit more difficult to find.

Welcome @Taimur Khan ! You are correct, we emphasize on doing our utmost best to minimize car damages, however offroading comes with a certain risk of occasional minor bumper damage from driving in the dunes. That is very hard to avoid. I am doing Newbie Scenic drives approx once a month during the winter season, those will be perfect for you to enjoy !

Yalla ! Much congrats to all who made it in ! To discuss further details more easily, I will be setting up a separate WhatsApp group and will add you all today.

@Tareq Al Turq as mentioned in the requirements, you need to have completed 5 Fewbie drives in the last 3 months. As this is not the case for you, I have tagged your name and removed your from the list.

I have removed you from the waitlist as you are not eligible for this drive (min 5 FB level drives)

@Imran Kashif as you are not eligible I have removed you from the drive. @Tareq Al Turq as you are not eligible for this drive I have removed your RSVP

Your Al Hosn App should show "GREEN" status, which means that you have taken a negative PCR test not longer than 14 days ago. https://blog.wego.com/al-hosn-app-green-pass/
