    Hi @Erwin van Helden The Hummer H2 is indeed a mighty big beast. Please check if your 4LO gear works, because recoveries are more difficult with heavy vehicles. I hope your overheating issues are solved as driving offroad in the summer season requires a vehicle in perfect technical condition. You will find the complete drive topic and NEWBIE BRIEFING VIDEO in the post below: Please take your time to go through it as this has replaced our verbal briefing. We will do a smaller briefing over the radio tomorrow before starting the drive. Dear @Ashok chaturvedi Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! As you are joining us for the first time, please introduce yourselves with the following info: 1) Which 4x4 are you driving ? 2) Any prior offroad experience ? 3) Are the vehicle's front and back towpoints in perfect condition ? In the meantime please look at the Video Briefing, and click on the "totally agree" emoji in the Covid 19 Precautions Topic. See you soon !

    Hi @Ajiesh George Kannankara for you very first drive with us, you just need a tyre deflator and pressure gauge, which are available in ACE, Speedex, or Dragon Mart. The other equipment you can procure after your first drive. Hi @Tero Vallas this is an Absolute Newbie drive which is reserved for first-joiners. Kindly join in on one of the Newbie drives by adding yourself to the waitlist on these drives. (in the drive topic).

    RSVP IS NOW CLOSED Dear Fewbies and some not so Fewbies anymore: I just finalized the convoy list and are looking forward for a nice drive tomorrow. I have @Wrangeld as my second lead to help me with some of the technical areas we can scout together, @J J as my center forward to be the glue of the convoy, and @Brette as my support in the back to sweep and keep the convoy moving. We will be ramping up the pace little by little, and explore the wonderful area between Lisaili and Al Qudra. Our radio channel will be Carnity Channel #1: (446.00625 Mhz). Please make sure your radio is fully charged and you have your offroad gears as per your appointed level. @Nizam Deen @tjsingh @Nivin @Adam Marston Please click on the "Totally Agree" Emoji in the COVID19 Precautions post to formally agree that you will comply with the COVID precautions we have put in place.

    Hi @Vijaysekhar and @Tero Vallas. This drive is strictly reserved for New joiners to the club. Please sign up or ask to be put in the waitlist of one of the Newbie drives this weekend. Thanks !

    Hi @SureshVNair do you mean you don’t have all the off-road essentials yet? For an Absolute Newbie drive you don't need any of those except a deflator and tire pressure gauge. We can lend you a spare radio for your very first absolute newbie drive. From second drive onward you can start buying your off-road gear like a shovel, radio, flag and compressor.

    Good idea. I usually look straight at the tire and stop deflating as soon and the “hump” in the tyre starts to disappear. That usually brings me to 30psi, so another 15-20 seconds extra and the gauge shows 35.

    Hi Syed if I remember correctly I wasn’t able to put it into 4Lo, but played a bit with the clutch and went forward and backward until I got a track and drove out. This is doable with a little TJ but definitely not with a Hummer H2.

    Hi @Andrei the stock ones are fine to use on our drives.
  15. Frederic
    The latest models of stem removal tools are magnetic, so the stem won’t fly out easily. Even then we always keep some spare stems and valves in the car.

    TJM has good compressors. And yes make sure you get confirmation on the 5year warranty.
  17. Frederic
    If the copper is not damaged you’ll be fine, but put some electrical tape around them. If they touch the chassis of the car you’d have a short circuit

    No worries @Ashy you’re welcome to join us. 1) Which 4x4 are you driving ? 2) Any prior offroad experience ? 3) Are the vehicle's front and back towpoints in perfect condition ? In the meantime please look at the Video Briefing, and click on the "totally agree" emoji in the Covid 19 Precautions Topic

    Not accurate and a pain to regulate them. With a stem removal tool and a watch on your wrist to count the seconds you’ll be deflated in less than two mins.

    Never put in a bigger fuse. The existing fuse is calculated to protect the compressor wiring from burning up. It never hurts to have a spare compressor. I used to carry always two compressors with me just in case.
  21. Frederic
    The first thing that fails are the on/off switches as these are mostly underrated to take the massive currents. These switches can be found for 10 dhs online or in Deira electronic shops. Secondly check the wiring, as it’s soldered inside and due to the heat the soldering gets loose. If you have nothing to lose open up the compressor’s electric box and have a look. With a simple multimeter you’ll be able to check the switch, or just bypass it once to see if it’s the culprit.

    My apologies @Arun Mathew. You are welcome to join us.

    Dear @Jeandre Bezuidenhout @Ashy @Ahmed Farghaly @Tero Vallas If i am correct, you have all done at least one drive with us, so kindly sign up for one of the Newbie drives, or send a message on the respective drive topics and ask to be put in the waiting list. This ABSOLUTE newbie drive is meant for new members who join us for the very first time. Thanks ! Fred Dear @SureshVNair and @muzamil hussain Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club !

    Pajeros tend to be a bit thirsty, but I clearly notice the difference when driving in 2H on the highway as it runs smoother and more quiet. The Super Select System has more than proven itself over the years. So you don’t hear me complaining.
  25. Frederic
    Hi @tjsingh as I have strong support on my drive I will add your name to the RSVP list. See you soon ! Hi @Francois Germishuys it looks as all Newbie drives are full by now. You can ask in the respective drive topic to be added to the waitlist, so when another driver cancels you can be added to the RSVP of that drive.
