Thank you all for joining the drive today! I hope you had a good morning out. You can post and upload your photos in the drive gallery on this link: Newbie - Al Ajban - Abu Dhabi - 02 Mar 2025 - Carnity.com Fantastic support by @Aser@Rajiv Samand @Joji varghese which kept the convoy moving and dealt superbly with the few refusals and stucks. Hope to see you all in the sand again!

No. Feel free to socialize as much as you like 😜 That Newbie briefing video was made during Covid times. We need to trim it a bit.

RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Martin Schwaiger@MedSved@[email protected].@Aser@Suneedh Wrangler@Kushal Thakkar@Steffi@Rajiv Sam@JC_E@Mei ling@Alex M@Lukas Lewis@vinayak n@Alexanderrr@Joji varghese Thank you all for signing up ! Some small pointers for tomorrow: 1) Please try to arrive by 6:45, so you have time to deflate, set up your flag, and pour yourself a cup of coffee if you like If you need help with deflating don't be afraid to ask. There will be supporting team members and myself walking around to assist you when needed. 2) We will be using Channel 4 on our walkie talkie. That is 446.081 Mhz. If you have any issues with setting up your radio, have a look at the drive topic here. We can also help out tomorrow if needed. 3) When you arrive, you can start deflating your tires to 14-15psi if you have HT (highway tires). In case of All Terrain (AT) tires you can deflate a bit further down to 12psi. See you all tomorrow morning !

No worries I will add you 😉

Thanks @Ana i've added you to the drive. If you can get an off-road flag in the meantime that would be great. If not we can accept you for the first drive but will be definitely needed from the second drive onwards.

Hi @Hanan sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, this is often the result of venturing out alone and unexperienced. On the other hand, the original bumper on a Y62 would not last long anyways on most of the desert drives, including those with the club. It is mystery to me why Nissan sold these vehicles here in the Middle East without having a bumper that has more clearance and better approach angle. Anyways, if you could share some pictures that would be more helpful, because a dent in the bumper and a leak combined with stiffer steering are two totally different things. The dent could be an easy fix but leaks and stiffer steering sounds you got damage to the steering rack. Seeing it's a 2019 Nissan, i would recommend visiting the dealer first and getting more details from them as to what is wrong and let them explain in detail with a costs involved. Then based on the outcome and quote you can decide to let them deal with it, or look for an independent garage (there are many). And yes some are dodgy but there are many decent ones as well.
