Ah that should have been my LC's job, with all 3 gears (transfer case + front + rear diffs) re-geared, it's a towing truck meant to handle these scenarios. I'm bummed I missed the fun, but I'm glad I didn't spoil and steal your day guys 😁👍🏻👍🏻

Please put me at the back, I just want to take photos, learned from others in front, and enjoy the scenery 😂

Hi Doc @M.Seidam, the good thing is it was an Intermediate Drive with every driver having more than 10 IM drives, so even though each driver has a different moment, everyone had that muscle & memory reflect on what to do to overcome that split-seconds situation. My notes on your 2 videos are: At time-mark 3:15:19 >> you hit the bush and started bumping up & down, though amazingly maintained 54 km/h speed to keep the momentum and correctly calculated you can still make it to the top instead of going down and re-trying. At time-mark 3:15:27 >> you started switching and the 2 photos below explain yours & @Ranjan Das's different approaches: To explain this, I will borrow from @Frederic's great article here >> https://carnity.com/forums/topic/15114-how-to-read-sand-dunes-formation-and-texture/ I've annotated Fred's diagram here: Doc @M.Seidam like he explained "there's a bit of turn when you go up" as he exited when the lip is at the start of Concave, while second lead @Ranjan Das corrected the example by going a bit further then exiting for a smoother switching. However, since the Convex side is harder than the Concave like Fred explained in his article, exiting down on the Convex side provides more traction and easier to control, just like Doc said that he made it out ok. I wish I still have my drone cos this would be an awesome footage of exiting bowl 😁

i just changed to 15W-50 oil last week, it's too quiet now so the only way to hear the V8 sound and lubricate the engine is to rev it 5000rpm by climbing dunes 😂

@ASAD. 14-Jan Bowls of Wagan, not sure if Pajero Bowl is included though, gotta wait for @Srikumar 7pm announcement 🔥🔥😄

Done bro, cc @Vaibhav i have commentary for Imteeaz's first & second attempts, on the third video I kept silent as not to jinx him for looping the 4th time 😂😂😂

Quick Trip Report & Video Uploads of the 4 Amigos conquering Pajero Bowl 👍 Almost everyone got a refusal, starting with second lead Mr @Ranjan Das who is still getting used to his newly-rebuilt engine and stuck on the side of a soft dune. No issue, with proper instructions from Marshal and cool-head, the Jeep managed to self-recover from a sticky situation. Being at the back, I had some options to skip certain things 😂 and while waiting for @MMansoor to finish his climb & u-turn loop, I realized it's been more than 5 mins, and when I looked back, the mighty Y62 was stuck on the high side of the dune. You can check the Photo Gallery to assess the situation yourself 😅. I think this happened in the Octopus Bowl. @Imteeaz had a minor refusal going over the crest, but managed to reverse and go over the churned-up crest. Finally we arrived at the marshal... whoops I meant Pajero Bowl 😜 For this, you can see the videos below. Dr. Seidam conquering Pajero Bowl. Ranjan conquering Pajero Bowl. Imteeaz conquering Pajero Bowl. MMansoor conquering Pajero Bowl. Thank you Dr. @M.Seidam for pushing the drive even with just 4 people. It was well worth it 👍

Thanks Doc @M.Seidam , see you tomorrow inshAllah , thanks for confirming 👍

@Warren Flay sad to see the cat-less Gajero leaving, but wish you all the best bro! Man, I wish I could drive that 6.2 Hellcat SRT engine, but hopefully you'll find a suitable buyer for both cars 🤞

@Arsalan Ehsan you need to trace the end of the sensor cable I highlighted in Yellow Circle Red below. Just choose one: Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, no need to disconnect all 4. All ABS systems use wheel speed sensors, and if one is disconnected, the ABS error light will turn on (signaling that ABS cannot function properly. What @Lawrence_Chehimi and @Rawad may be correct too, when my Y62 rolled-over, no air bags (front or side) were deployed... although that made me think whether my Y62 was made in DragonMart.. ( @Srikumar's poke at my fake Patrol 😂 )

@Alphin Aloor my friend installed it for his Land Cruiser, and I quote his feedback verbatim "no performance, no grip, more popouts" + "it's only for the looks" 😂 You can see his Instagram post and message him for more feedbacks. At the end of video, you can see the tires are being subjected to some funky machineries that he said "removed vibrations above 100km/h" 😅 >> https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cm3cuXIhQsK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This sounds like a fun drive @Frederic, with lots of technical terrain to cover. If it was in the afternoon, I could join this, but alas @M.Seidam's Pajero Bowl invite sounds like a better terrain to test my rebuilt engine 😅 Please plan for a repeat next time, weather in Abu Dhabi is chilly good nowadays ❄️

Mabrook Marshal @GauravSoni , so when is the Celebration Drive? Gotta repeat that Al Quaa Drive again bro 😁🔥

England 2 - 1 France, save the anxiety and watch the recap in the morning while deflating 😄

Dear marshal @JeromeFJ, apologies I too have withdrawn from this drive. My overlanding trip to Saudi has been moved to Sunday early morning, so Saturday I will need to rest for the next day's 12-hours drive to Riyadh. I will still monitor whenever you're leading another 80km drive though, wish you all the fun & adventure tomorrow 😊 you've already got good support from @Looper, @Waqas Parvezand @Imran Kashif👍

It's like a Black Stallion, sometimes swerving on its own, finding a bowl to play, then once fully exercised and stretched, returned to the main track 😁

All karak shops near the meeting point opens at 8am, so fresh will be hard. It will be probably be wrapped in aluminum and microwaved at 3am 😁 always good to have a couple of extra eyes to help the treasure hunt 👍🏻😄

The number you've dialled is out of service... 😝
