  1. There is no difference in power, but the distribution between the front and rear. Try both 4H and 4Hlc and see if you can find any difference. I’ve never felt any difference for 99% of what we do in the desert. Only on long hill climbs it might give some benefit.
  2. Small request: When you arrive at the meeting point just drive a little bit inside the gate. @Naveen Raj @Sherry Mathew Jacob @Jerry Han @Josh T. @Kailas
  3. Temporary Convoy List 1) @Frederic - Pajero SWB Blue - Crew 2) @Josh T. - GMC Sierra - Newbie 3) @Jerry Han - Pajero - Absolute Newbie 4) @Sherry Mathew Jacob - Jeep Grand Cherokee - Absolute Newbie 5) @nr999in - Lexus GX460 - Absolute Newbie 6) @Kailas - Jeep Wrangler SWB Red - Expert I am looking forward meeting you guys tomorrow at 05AM. The plan is to introduce you all to some desert driving, with some basic side sloping, and straight cresting excercises. Getting stuck is part of the fun, so please don't feel ashamed or disappointed in case you get stuck. It's a learning experience and we gladly recover vehicles and share the tricks on how to recover yourself. I hope by now you have all watched the Newbie briefing that was posted in the drive topic, this will be your best introduction for taking your first steps into the sand. If you are totally new to desert driving, i would recommend not to bring family members along. It will be important that you feel relaxed and that you can focus on learning the basic skills first. You will be amazed what you will learn in a matter of a few hours. Myself and @Kailas will be supporting you throughout the drive. With regards to tools, have a look at below advice. For your first drive a pressure gauge is enough. From a second drive onwards you will be needing a radio, flag, pressure gauge, and a fullsize shovel: If you have a walkie talkie already, you can program it to our Carnity Channels as per below advice. If not then we will be handing out a spare model that you can use for your first drive with us: We will be using Channel 2: 446.03125 Mhz. Please arrive on time (or before is even better) so we can head out to the dunes quickly after deflating the tyres. See you tomorrow ! PS in case of emergency my mobile no. is 056 504 26 32
  4. That looks indeed like a mistake from their side. Better to call the test center and ask them to change it.
  5. Good to hear that. Make sure you have the AL Hosn App where the result is shown. SMS messages or test results via email are not being accepted at the border.
  6. until

    Thanks for informing @Pacific see you next time !

  8. @Joseph Sebastian I’ve added you to the session. Please confirm if you could make it.
  9. This is Niki. Niki prefers halfway solutions but lies awake at night thinking about lost seconds: DONT BE LIKE NIKI
  10. Thanks @Sherry Mathew Jacob, is your Jeep a Limited model ? In that case you are fine. Because some other models/trims have very low front bumpers, and if i am not mistaken the some top-level JGC models do not have front tow points.
  11. Good morning @Sherry Mathew Jacob and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! We ask all new drivers to tell us a little about themselves, so we can plan around the needs of the convoy. So please can you let us know: Which 4x4 are you bringing ? How much experience do you have off road and in the desert? Does your 4x4 have front and rear towpoints and are they in perfect condition ? Thanks and looking forward to seeing you on Friday. Pleas have a look at our Absolute Newbie briefing video: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING For your first drive with us you would only need a pressure gauge. From a second drive onwards you will need a proper shovel, radio, and offroad flag as well. If you have these items already now you are of course welcome to bring them along.
  12. Hi @Jerry Han welcome to Carnity ! Great to hear, we are all here to learn from each other. I am not very familiar with shops in Abu Dhabi, but have seen lots of equipment readily available on Amazon. Some examples below. The red deflator tool will allow you to remove the pin inside valve and deflate very quickly and easily. Pleas also have a look at our Absolute Newbie briefing video: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING
  13. With regards to the radio, i think the online shop of dragon mall might be an option. The Baofeng UV5R or Crony MT777 is a good economic option and should be readily available. https://edragonmall.com/collections/walkie-talkies/products/baofeng-uv5r-1-5-lcd-5w-136-174mhz-400-480mhz-dual-band-walkie-talkie
  14. Yes it's advisable to get a PCR from any drive-thru center. I usually do this on Wednesday evening and get the results within 12 hours.
