Thanks @Gaurav & @Frederic When i enter to the desert as newbie, my radio was the teacher of desert drive lessons. the information we get through the radio teach us lot of lessons. i learned a lot by listening to the radio and watching the action of driver at receiving end more than my self driving. most of the time im at the receiving end. hence i'll try to find a solution to secure the device properly and attach the hands free cable as PTT when needed. But i think totally hands free solution will be useful for marshal's or whoever is leading the drive, since they talk most of the time over the radio.

thanks for the advice @desertdude Agree communication should be be least priority. thought of getting some advice on radio situation.

thanks @Javier M its very practical solution. i think VOX function very useful. but im not sure motorolla MT777 has this function. have to dig in user manual.

One of the basic requirement to go off road is to equip with 2 way walkie talkie. in general, all off roaders are using a handheld radio to communicate during the drives. I think this handheld walkie talkies are quite distracting when we do off road driving. Whenever we want to talk we need to take one hand off the wheel, pick up the radio press the button get it closer to your mouth and talk. After the conversation we need to make sure the radio is held somewhere securely. Also this radio can be cannon ball to your face if it is not secured properly. So I feel this is quite inefficient and unsafe as well. Does anyone have solution or idea to use the radio with minimal distraction? Preferably like hands free.

Congrats @Joe Biju Joseph

Thanks Rahim Bhai, I’m thrilled for next Friday drive and learn some more skills.. always thanks for your guidance and advices.

Wow. Fantastic news to hear.. thanks for all the senior members of Carnity off road club. 👍 Cant wait to get to the sand and climb the ladder step by step.. 💪🏻

As always picture perfect report from @Wrangeld . I am always exited to read his report same as the drive. 👍 I was with @Rahimdad convoy and he managed to give us the taste of every bit of sand dunes and experience fossil rock area has to offer. Thank you very much for offering me the second lead of the convoy. Your instruction and guidance was key for our smooth drive. Special thanks to @Emmanuel for his guidance from behind the convoy and helping us to overcome couple of refusal through out the drive . My key highlight of the drive was bashing play area dune for the first time. It was great experience and I loved it so much. Thank you again @Rahimdad. Looking forward to tackle the dune and practice more in future. See you all soon. cheers

Will not be able to join for tomorrow drive due to small medical emergency at home. Sorry for the last minute disappointment guys. Looking forward for next week drive. Drive safe..👍

Thank Gaurav bhai for the summary in deed even i will go for GX for the unique factor.. 👍

I Hope everyone agree Toyota Prado is highly sought after SUV in UAE. It pretty much hold the value like there is no depreciation at all. But when i go through classified sites i noticed that same age Lexus GX is almost the same price as Prado or sometimes cheaper. but if you try to buy brand new GX is at least 50% more expensive than prado. i wonder why this expensive GX cannot hold its value like Prado even though technically its same vehicle. 🤔 any thoughts from our experts. disclaimer - Im not in hurry to buy a prado or GX any soon. Just browsing through classified sites during so called boring days in the office. 😁

Wow @Jeepie superb shot 👍👍 A picture worth thousand words.. 👍

@Srikumar I bought a motorolla Walkie-talkie last week. will bring it along, just need to setup Thanks.

Hi @Srikumar i just got my car fixed and its all good to go now. Hope i can join this drive as absolute newbie, since my last drive was bummer.

Indeed it was a great day and good experience. It unfortunate that my 4x4 did not work properly and had to leave it behind. But big thanks to @Srikumar for accommodating me throughout the drive. Also thanks to @Rahimdad to take me back to pick my vehicle after the drive and your valuable advices. Overall I’m sure everyone enjoyed the drive very much. My car is already in a garage and getting it fixed as soon as possible. Counting my days to join for another drive at the earliest. See you guys soon... cheers 👍
