Awesome, it's currently breezy and non-humid tonight, hopefully continues to tomorrow morning... forecast is sub-30°C with 13 km/h wind, will be a nice drive 👌🏻

I saw Snoop's 3-sign + Dr Dre's 4-sign = hitting 7 bowls, then I realized there was a route map shared below it 🤣. No worries, it will be a relaxing drive to Sweihan Pond then ⭕

DEATH BOWLLLL 🔥🔥🔥🥣🥣🥣

oh i hope it's not too late, in terms of stock cars that are ready for sand offroading from the get-go, I'd vote for @RiadJL & @Gautam Banka 's Jeep 392 V8 HEMI 6.4L that already comes with winch and proper wheels 👍 Albeit, I'd still modify 392's cooling, since it comes with electric fan from stock (friend says the 392 overheats in advanced drives). Similarly capable from showroom would be @Dodi Syahdar Bronco Raptor edition 🐎. But the car I'm still amazed with, even with limited parts availability, is @Srikumar & @Brett Eicher's Jeep Cherokee 🔥 That classic can still climb dunes very well 😃

Haha thanks @Frederic , it's true what you said: looking back, maybe I should have scrapped this the day I rolled-over. But noooo, instead I rebuilt it 🙈. Anyways it became my Lab car, tinkering with it, changing stock parameters and blowing up things like pistons, conrods, and the latest... gasp *radiator (below attached photo when my radiator exploded). Every summer, my mechanics WhatsApp me, "so what will this year project be?" , probably both a marketing cold-call and to provoke another experiment 🤣 I probably can teach a course on how to read your Short-Term & Long-Term Fuel Trims and predict Vacuum Leak (without smoke-testing) and Exhaust Leak (without pulling manifolds) - most mechanics use OBD just to check error, buy parts and clear codes, without understanding what the computer is telling us 😃 It's also true that when I send the LC for an engine rebuild or multi-weeks repair, there is sadness in my eyes, so much so that my wife became jealous! Thankfully while the LC was being rebuilt, I did spend more time with family & food 😁 Looking forward to more drives with you all after EID, my car is driving with engine temperature of 69 Celsius, so I need to drive it during summer to make it run "normal" operating temperature 😂 Pic of the blown-up radiator below. If you want to hear the story, you gotta tag me to join your next drive 😅

well done bro @ChrisW , looking forward for Intermediate drives with you 👍🔥

Oh man, when was this? Felt like yesterday when we were still young 😂

yayyy, well done & congrats @Luke K P , any drives will be lucky to have your Formula-1 Pitstop-speed skills 👍🔥

Have a read here first: https://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/camera_summary.html Though the Sony A7 is famous for "star-eaters", it's still value for money and can be modified for astro: https://www.astrogear.net/products/sony-mirrorless-full-frame-astrophotography-conversion

Runners-up can only afford 1 box, first come first serve tomorrow 😁

Yes the key is not to step on the throttle, turn off the engine, get out of the car and pull by hands and pray the magic kinetic rope will gently tug the car down 😂

I have a post-DCT-syndrome, apologies my doctor sez not to do hard work including shoveling 😄 I am here just for @Frederic's stories and @Luke K P's coffee... best support I can do is, while sipping coffee, pull a gentle tug 😜 No doubt, I see great Support in the Middle and also at the End. Rest assured, any stucks will be winched by the Middle and any pop-outs will be fixed in no-time by the Expert who has experienced a lot of it... But it's Fred + Fewbie Plus, so expect a good-flow with rhythm and fun 👍

this is a misleading post, @Luke K P you have the New Garmin Tread XL Overland which is better than last year's winner's Overlander older edition. I think you already solve the Traveling Salesman Problem with that device 😁 Don't level with us common people using free Gaia 😂

230 on the crank is about right >> https://www.4runners.com/threads/dyno-numbers-2020-4-0.29688/
