Thanks @Shaaz Sha for the report. Yes, it was an eventful and long day in the desert. About 90 minutes into the drive, it was unfortunate what happened with @Raman_Dbxbut glad he is fine and only minor damage to the vehicle. Take care buddy and hope to see you soon in the sand again. After making sure Raman was exited safely, we had about an hour left so we took and easier route hoping to make it to Faya so we could have some play time there but had multiple stucks, refusals and pop outs along the way. Although we were not able to make it, we managed to reach the nice big dunes just before Faya. Everyone did really well here making it to the top but unfortunately on the way down, @Joji varghese got himself stuck in a pocket and by the time he was recovered it was time to exit. It was during Joji's recovery, that someone noticed two guys a few dunes away waving out for help, after recovering Joji, Shaaz and myself went to check on them and saw they had a bad pop out in a tricky spot and had absolutely no gear to fix it. It took it close to 40 minutes to get that sorted before we made our way to the tarmac. Thank you to everyone for waiting patiently and I apologise for the delay in getting out. @Enrico Biscaro thanks again for being a perfect second lead. It was a bit of a frustrating day for you with a few refusals and pop outs but am sure it was a good learning experience. Having been with you on one of your first drives, I can see a huge improvement. Well done. @Joji varghese its good to see you getting more in sync with your fortuner and am sure with a few more drives, you will also figure out its limitations being a 2.7. The key here is to find that sweet spot and then work your way around the other short falls that come with not having that additional power on tap. @Rsjiv Samuel you did pretty well with just a few refusals. Driving a a capable vehicle is a blessing but try and not only depend on the vehicle to get you out of sticky situations. Sometimes being gentle on the gas is better than all the power the vehicle has to offer. With time you will figure that out yourself and that will make you a more capable offroader. @Daniel Rodas you did really well. Hardly heard you through the drive which is a good thing. When we did stop and I got to see you attempt the sideys, you were totally in control. Well done. @Ashy thanks for your support in the CF position. A few stucks and refusals and each time reminded me of myself trying to figure out the JGC. It has a mind of its own and a small error in your line can end up with a stuck or refusal. This is something you need to pay special attention too and work your way around it. Would be happy to help anytime you have any questions. @salah2u Was good to see you back and you definitely looked more confident than the last time after the few mods to the front end of your Y62. It is a powerful beast but like they say, with more power comes more responsibility. A few times on approaching a criss cross, I saw the vehicle fishtail, NEVER try and use power to push the vehicle in the opposite direction when that happens. Always steer in the direction of the fishtail to straighten the vehicle and make a safe exit. Better to have a refusal and reattempt than end up being sorry. Other than that, was really impressed with the way you managed the entire drive. @Raman_Dbx its was unfortunate what happened and hope to see you back soon. @Nafiz and @Mohammed Mansoor I did not get to see too much of you'll as you guys were at the end of the convoy but I was impressed with the little I got to see on some of the climbs we did one at a time. Well done. @Shaaz Sha You were a blessing. We needed a lot of pulls, tugs, shovelling and the pop outs. You were all over the place and I can't thank you enough. Thanks buddy. Overall everyone did really well and hope to see you all soon.
