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.

Dear @SureshVNair please introduce yourself with the following information: 1) Which 4x4 are you driving ? 2) Any prior offroading experience ? 3) Are the vehicle's front and back tow points in perfect condition ? Dear @Frederik Bisbjerg @muzamil hussain @Tero Vallas @Vijaysekhar Please formally agree to the COVID19 Precautions Post below by clicking on the "Totally Agree" Emoji in that post. So this will be saved for the future drives.

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.

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.

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.

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 ! 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 !

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.

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.

Hi @Francois Germishuys as you are still on Newbie level, you won’t be able to sign up for this Fewbie level drive. Please sign out from this drive to create space for someone else to join. Thanks !

Congrats !!

Well deserved @Chaitanya D your calm approach to every situation will bring you far in this club ! Keep up the good work!

Congrats @Melenany ! Now the fun is starting !😜

Welcome to Carnity Off-road Club @Andrei ! You can RSVP on the drive as soon as you have the front towpoints sorted.
