Is there any radio frequency we should be aware of , for this drive? I know radios are not mandatory but excited to try out mine for the drive. Haven't used one before so I asked the shop guy to tune/ set all 10 Carnity frequencies on the radio😁. 

@Taimur Khanby 8.30 PM I will put up the convoy numbering for the drive and also post which channel we would use. As long as you have all 10 tuned you are good, in the morning you can just switch to the channel number.

Hey Guys,

 

This is Krishna. An absolute newbie for off roading. The only off roading I have done is parking in Kacchha 

I have a 2009 Infiniti QX 56 stock.

Ground clearance is 9 inches.

Rear tow hook - Yes. Not sure about the front ones. Will check and update here.

 

Looking forward!

Thanks @Krishna R. Please confirm regarding the front tow point before the drive as it is mandatory.

@Brette, I am contemplating joining this drive. I have limited off-road experience on dirt tracks in villages and KT Fun drive ( did not complete). Can I bring my wife along on this drive as a passenger? Thanks in advance. 

@Taimur Khan this is the perfect drive for you to start with. We wont be doing any thing crazy, the drive is designed for first timers in the desert. It will give you a feel of what it is like to drive in this terrain and also help you understand how your vehicle reacts in sand. 

As far as bringing family is concerned, we don't stop you but would advise you to not let it become a distraction to you during the drive as driving in the desert requires your full attention.
