@Alain Canivet-Abikhalil @Marwan Haddad @Christopher Assal @Zixuan Huang @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Sunil Mathew @Darren Brooke @TT_Dubai @darren thompson @RooRzOn@Veedooshee Hello again, Thank you so much everybody for all the comments, pictures and videos 🙏. Pretty much everything is nicely covered in the above comments. It was pleasure to meet and drive with each one you. Coincidentally, the drive had only LWB vehicles, there was no SWB at all, it appeared as if it was an only LWB drive😀. As planned, we encountered different types of terrains along the way which gave us a good mixture and exposure where we got to learn from each other and practice. We started from the bushy area of Murquab and to its wonderful play areas too. After enjoying the play areas and some nice sideys, we headed towards the long range dunes of Lisaili, however to reach there, we went through technical terrains. Surprisingly, there was no refusal or stuck considering the huge vehicles in the convoy and tight dunes. All drivers tackled the challenge very elegantly. When we reached the Lisaili area, Darren Brooke got stuck on the side of super soft part of the dune. With the help of Rawad, Lakshmi, TT and Darren we were able to shovel and displaced lots sand to clear the resistance. Darren’s car was moving but since it was on super soft sand there was long way to reach flat ground or getting enough traction . Considering the angle of the car and there was not much space to tug, I decided to give few soft tugs to correct the angle to begin with. But then, I noticed actually Laksmi has a winch which we did use instead as it was much easier and quicker. The winch recovery was nice executed by both Lakshmi and Darren. As usual, Lisaili long range dunes never disappoint you and we tried to make the most of it though we were running short of time, until we started following the sunset and work our way towards Qudra which was scenic and picturesque. Through out the drive, we did get few refusal due to lack of momentum which with some more practise you will easily learn to build right momentum I would like to thank all of you for making the drive enjoyable. I am very thankful to the support from Lakshmi and Rawad for their assistance with recoveries and keeping the team together. And they also went extra mile to join us to escort Darren because while exiting he noticed that he was having a voltage fluctuation which was more likely a loose connection, but once on road the glitch disappeared. It was an amazing team spirit and care shown for each other. Lastly, I would like to thank my co-pilot Veedooshee for her unparalleled support.

Hello Gaurav, I would love to have you on the drive but the RSVP is full n there was no drop out so far... If ever there is any drop out, I will let u asap...

Correct u can play with the height profile and width but not radius as far as i know. So u are still having the issue @Lakshmi Narasimhan?

@Abdul Rahman AK For sure, My stock rim size is 16 inches (R16). There is no way you can fit a R16 tyre on a 17 inch rim and vice versa. Instead u can opt for slightly different width and profile of tyre (at you own risk unless u have mods) but u cannot opt for a different radius unless if u change the rims. It's strange that u are having the rubbing issue since u upgraded to 2" lift kit despite the fact that u put a slightly different size of tyre. I would love to know your experience with lift kit. Which one did you put? How is it on the road?

Thank you for noticing and informing me @Sunil Mathew Sorry my bad, so let's make it 4:30 pm so that we do not miss anybody....however let's make sure we are all deflated and ready to start the drive at 4:30 PM sharp... @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil @Marwan Haddad @Christopher Assal @Zixuan Huang @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Sunil Mathew @Darren Brooke @TT_Dubai @darren thompson @RooRzOn

@Alain Canivet-Abikhalil @Marwan Haddad @Christopher Assal @Zixuan Huang @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Sunil Mathew @Darren Brooke @TT_Dubai @darren thompson @RooRzOn Hello Everyone, I hope you all are doing well and i am looking forward to see you for the drive tomorrow. Our plan for the drive, is to start from Murquab area, work towards Lisaili and Qudra until sunset. We will go through different types of terrain with a good mixture of technical and long range dune too. I have attached the convoy list below and we will be using the Radio Channel 1 (44600625). Till then, take care and be safe.

@Christopher Assal For night off-roading, light bar and spot is much more effective than trying to upgrade the headlights. Headlights are more suited for on road use. There are light bar that have combinations of both spot and flood lights so that you can get a good wide angle brightness. On the other hand, You can also opt for set of cubic led spot and flood lights and install it as per your requirement. e.g for the sides you can use the flood light and for the forward you can use spot light to enhance the brightness. you can also check the below thread, there might be some interesting information for you

@Lawrence_Chehimi There is no rubbing when driving on road neither when steering nor on bump. But it happens only when off-roading especially if i go on a bump at a speed.

I measured the distances but since it is in an angle, the distance between the gap of the bump stop and the gap between the tyre and fender varies so its hard to know the correct distance. But i think if i extend the height of the bumpstops, it might solve the issue.

The waitlist priority is as follows: 1. @Arshad Roojee (First weekend drive) 2. @Rjducos 3. @Sunil Mathew (Second weekend drive) 4. @Chinthaka Ruwan 5. @Marwan Haddad

Congratulations @Russ, well done

well done @Gregory, congrats

Congrats @Marwan Haddad

Congratulations @Werno

Well done @Nathan Evans, congratulations 👏

Congrats @Nithin Vaidir

I used the twin cylinder Camel compressor before, it lasted for approximately a year (was using it at least twice a week), on average it takes 60 seconds to inflate a tyre from 12psi to 33psi... Apparently the Camel single cylinder compressor have a longer life span than the twin cylinder. Now i am using the Mean Mother because of its 5 years warranty and it takes 1 minutes and 35 seconds to inflate the tyre (265 70R16).
