Thanks @ChrisW for the drive, happy to finally see you leading a drive, especially in Salamat 👍👏👏 Always good to catch up with old friends, Carnity is the safest convoy to test drive new cars. Once again, you saved me, this time with 3 zip ties 😂 Looking forward to drive with @Andrew John Melvill next time ✌️

Dang, u have good memory of each calamity I had in the desert 😂😂😂

Hi @ChrisW just bought a new car and renewed my subscription, but this is the only drive for Sunday. Can I still squeeze in and follow from the back of convoy? 😊

lovely seeing you folks in Salamat today @Luke K P et al. Ah you could have called bro, we exited at 9am but was waiting until 10am for the recovery truck (not my car) 😅✌️

Here’s the speed & setup: fiber box > Ubiquiti Edge Router > split to multiple wall sockets with priority speed to my room first then kids rooms 😅

Yes i’ll take a screenshot of speedtest once back at home, but the key is to install your own 10-in-1 switch after the fiber box. The gaming PCs are connected to the walls, while living room gets Wifi 7 Router. Pro tip: if you have the Triple Pay Package, use the TV port from fiber to your internet, sometimes the TV has faster internet for 4K & 8K streaming ✌️

Hi @Frederic don’t ditch your home Internet yet, the Starlink speed is still 200 Mbps compared to your home fiber of 1000 Mbps 😅 But for business like construction or temporary setup, it works well rather than applying for business Internet everytime work site changes 👍

With Starlink Satellite Internet now officially available & approved for use in UAE (previously you had to go to Oman to activate and use the roaming feature in UAE), what do the Gadget Afficionados @Frederic @Luke K P @ChrisW think of using it for? My overlanding friend who installed it on his sunroof has used it for Work Anywhere (especially in this Work-from-Home times) and watching live football while camping in Al Quaa or Liwa (both in areas with no cell coverage). Satellite Phone is not included yet, but I'm guessing using VOIP approved app like Botim + Satellite Internet, you can potentially make phone calls from anywhere... List of use cases related to Offroading & Convoy Management: If Lead has Starlink, he can make VOIP calls using Botim to call another Lead or Support for advice, help or relay emergency call to 999. Unlimited Map Coverage: yes we know we can download offline maps, but having constant Internet means goodbye to downloading offline maps 24 hours before driving If management uses MS-Teams or Slack as backbone of communication platform, potentially can have MS-Teams & Slack conference calls during breaks or after setting up tents for group updates. Live Streaming of drives via YouTube / TikTok / Instagram. *tongue in cheek 😜 Other use case?

Found a nice video to explain Front, Rear, Center Diff locks here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVy7kTHjNzC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== *Technically it's an AWD 'cos a 4WD has transfer case + 4Lo , but it does explain why the power goes to UNSTUCK wheels when you are stuck 🙏 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVy7kTHjNzC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

LIWA must bring Winch Friend, @ChrisW i think you can make money during December LIWA Festival simply with a cardboard thay says "Need a Winch? Chris is here 050-xxx" 😂 Thank you @Asif Hussain bhai for the Reunion Drive before the UAE Union Day 🙏 Too bad the rest of Sweihan Boys have dispersed, but we still have memories of the drive where I brought Biryani for lunch 😅 (as we get older we eat less and more practical like pizza 😂) Thank you @ChrisW as always. Shoveling is good when we're in Sweihan & Badayer, but when we drove 3 hrs to Liwa, 5-minutes winching allows more fun time than recovery time 👍 Especially when fixing wheel-in-the-air @Shahid Mehmood situation 🙏 Also when my LandCruiser does reverse-winching and starts pulling your Jeep instead of pulling me out, haha I just realized how heavy my car is, and now thinking of selling it 😂😂😂 Enjoy these 2 Reels of our drive: Trickiness when going down in Liwa https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRsIaAqkrWw/?igsh=bjRzZ3Z1cHRqM3pk Breath-taking view from Top: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRtMK-5CZgJ/?igsh=M29jZ2w2NXc2eTdy

Fresh Pizzas just arrived for lunch at Liwa to celebrate @Asif Hussain Senior Marshal promotion 😁

Am glad @Asif Hussain bhai is joking, today received great notification. Thank youuuuuuu 🙏🙏🙏

Man that's my line 😂 I think I have so many I.O.U on her forgiveness bank 😂😂😂

Wow, i'm late to the party (wife's permission took time 😂 ) and am already in Waiting List #5 @Asif Hussain bhai, long time no see, let's make it Maximum 10, close the drive and make Convoy Order 😁🔥🙏

Haha, engine stalling during idle is one of the symptoms of a soon-to-die Fuel Pump. I'm glad I found this out in Khatim before heading to Liwa this weekend 😂 Thanks for inviting us Luke, good mid-week break from work to catch-up with like-minded offroaders 👍
