Hi @Jonathan Maumy do not buy recovery ropes / snatch ropes yet. Only from Intermediate level onwards you will require one. The main things are: - Pressure gauge / deflator from first drive onwards. - Radio, offroad flag, shovel, air compressor from second drive onwards. Above article has some info on compressors as well.

Hi @Jonathan Maumy, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport is a nice offroader, i am sure you will love it. As all members in the drive are absolute newbies, they will also still be experimenting about which pressure gauge to buy. You will find some advices in below tutorial: My personal favorite pressure gauge is the Bushranger 3-1 gauge and deflator: Below model (quick deflator) is good but will need some practice: Quick and simple way to deflate very fast is the stem removal tool: You will find most of these items in ACE, Speedex, AdventureHQ, and Dragon Mart. A reliable pressure gauge will make a big difference when you start offroading. For your first drive you can start with something cheap and try a few different models until you find what works best for you. Some swear by the quick-deflators, others by the stem removal tool.

Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club @Jonathan Maumy ! Kindly reply with a small introduction: - Which 4x4 are you driving ? - Any prior offroading experience ? - Does the vehicle have front and back towpoints and are they in perfect condition ? As a perfect preparation for your first drive with us, please go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video posted below: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING For your first drive, please bring a pressure gauge and deflator so you can deflate your tyres. These are readily available in ACE, Speedex, AdventureHQ, or other shops. If you do have already other offroad gear such as a flag, radio, shovel, or others, please bring it along as well. Important note: The Al Qudra Last Exit petrol station where we will be exiting has a compressor to inflate your tyres, but lately it has been either defective or hardly working at all. So if you have a compressor plz bring it along as well. Thanks !

Congrats @Probir Mukherjee !

If i had the money, i'd love to get me that new Hummer, Defender, or Bronco. Even the Cybertruck looks so amazing. But in this country where you will have no other option than to take these type of cars to your stealership that will take every dirham out of your pocket, i gladly keep my classic 4x4

Congrats and well deserved @Pancho !!

Newbie level will be fine, but yes from Fewbie level onwards the Discovery Sport will mostprobably not be suitable anymore. AdventureHQ in Timesquare Mall has the AOR flags and suction cups. You will find the Chinese branded ones in Dragon Mart too.

Hi Frederic ! Thanks for the quick reply. The ground clearance of your Discovery Sport is acceptable, but the low approach angle due to the low front bumper makes these vehicles very delicate for offroading. For beginner level drives you will be fine and during that time you can decide for yourself if that car is suitable for you, or if you want to look for a dedicated offroad toy that can take a little bit more abuse Correct, a pressure gauge and deflator is all you need for your first drive. From a second drive onwards you will be considered Newbie, and then you will need an offroad flag, a radio, and a shovel.

Congrats @Syed Raza Hussain !!

Well deserved @marks ! You’ll love this level !!

@Brette you have taken us on an absolute perfect drive where we were given a nice mix of long range dunes and some technical areas. That mix is essential for Fewbie level drives and gives a lot of opportunities to learn. As i have seen on my other drives as well, the teamwork was amazing and this makes it all worth it. Keep it up 👍!!

Yes with good all terrain tyres the sidewalls are stronger, which will allow you to deflate further down to 10-12 psi without issues.
