Yes the weather may prove challenging . We will have to assess it once we are out there . At best it may curtail some activities (ridges may be difficult to see depending on the wind) , at worst (if sandstorm ) we may have to stop but rest assured I have experience of this and we will, as always, drive in a safe manner whilst having the most fun we can have .

Hi Simon, the drive is absolutely stretched to the max at present . However, someone may drop out. If they do ill let you know .

Drive Report Give yourselves a round of applause, that was some great driving out there today! Yes, the sands were hardened by the rain fall, but they were also rutted, and disfigured with channels which were created by those very same. It was also great that everyone had arrived in plenty of time and we were deflated, flagged and ready to go by 8.05! We entered the small dunes and readied our desert wheels, getting a feel for the sand and getting on top of some nice rounded dunes. I threw everything at you at the start as we maneuvered our way through the dunes with smooth crossovers and gentle sides, keeping a watchful eye as we did so. Having passed Pink Rock and content that you were all capable I added some masala, and after a short , safely distanced tutorial we made our way to the larger dunes and swept through the footdunes that lead to the majestic Big Red. Alas, we have to look on in awe these days, but the restrictions provided an unexpected bonus of very quiet sands. In terms of feedback I would like to just say, please (at Newbie level) never try to self recover without a member of the support team to guide you, always keep a safe distance between cars and never apologise for a refusal. It’s how we learn! Well done to the guys at the front @Yasirimam @Rasif ABDUL RAHIM @Ahmad Mehwi @Tareq Al Turq @Mo. @Sharat Nambiar , kept up with the pace and drove well. To the guys at the back who had a lot of big cars in front of them which makes it more challenging as the sands get churned up. @Faisal Alhashimi @ASAD. @takeshi sobue @Gerrit Bus and @Will Seivewright. Many thanks to my support @Richard Franks for an excellent 2nd lead and to @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil for helping with the few recoveries we had. Finally thank you to you all for listening, following instruction and being such a great convoy. Until our next adventure 😎

See you tomorrow fellas 😊

Yeah no worries , added 😎

Hope you feel better soon

Hey, and welcome to the club. I love my X. There's plenty of garages that are Nissan friendly , one man's specialist is another man's cowboy so.... I'd find a good / trustworthy garage (recommendations) and have them do a full diagnostic on it for you, they'll let you know what needs done. When I first bought mine I needed to replace the engine mounts and the spark plugs. Next up the the skid plate, make sure you get one that protects the radiator , and then get Yoko Geo A/Ts. That's all you need for your X. Others add new suspension and have it lifted etc. I've never bothered with any of that and I can do anything in the sand that a modified X can.

Marshalls do them stock
