Hi all, quick update. 

I also bought one and it workd like a dream filled up my 285/70/17 on my RAM from 10PSI to 36PSI in 1 minute and 55 seconds so extremely  impressed and happy with it and as @Lisa Pemberton said it works with a remote which is a trear. in terms of the warranty as @sertac mentioned you do have

that exact warranty slip in the box along with a stamped and signed receipt. so the 5 year warranty is legit. 

if anyone wants to speak to Allan the guy from Ravon auto regarding these please let me know and ill share his details.

Hi Guys, just read thru all the above comments as im currently looking for a compressor myself as my dragon mart compressor seized up and stopped working due to a leak in the hose. So i checked the below special is this a good unit and i see they say 160LPM which is almost the same as the ARB dual piston  if i have my facts right. so this has a 5 year warranty and its going for AED700 is this a good price? or would you rather take a chance with the dragon mart dual piston?

Are you still paid in Rands @Colin Jordan   If I make it, I can lend you a 1-cylinder compressor (I bought a bigger one). You can smoke 1.5 filter cigarettes per tyre. 

@Kalahari your measurements per tire are the best haha thanks for the offer, i see the gas station is near so will just go there.👍

ADNOC Al Madam station is a few kms away from our exit point, don’t worry for that. 

@Emmanuel awesome Thanks

@Colin Jordan the exit should not be too far from Al Madam. There is a gas station just before Al Madam. Emmanuel can confirm, but shouldn't be more than 5-6 Km.

@Ale Vallecchi Thanks mate

Hi @Emmanuel

Will we be exiting near a gas station to fill up our tires? as i need to wait for payday to get a new compressor.

Thanks. 

congratulations @Rinelle Sanaani well deserved. excited for you to join the intermediate drives you will definitely love it as much as i do! 

I think the high speed was an ego thing and they definitely learnt that you dont need the biggest balls and show them off.

as for the prado, he fought gravity hence he rolled down. all would've been avoided if he straightened up and reversed down. 

These videos make me very happy that we have experienced offroaders with us giving us tips and advice thru every situation as i think some of these people in the videos werent so lucky.

Dear Carnity friends.

I am sure all of you have safely reached home and are now enjoying the nice buzz from today’s ride. Thank you very much for taking part in this almost exploratory drive, in a lesser known part of Dubai’s desert.

 

Here are the key words of today’s trip:

• Punctuality – I reached the meeting point at 4:04PM, and to my surprise I found already 3 drivers working on deflating their tires. With the last driver arriving at 4:25PM, we managed to leave in record time.

• Discovery – It was my second time in this area, and probably the first time for most of the drivers. We entered it after a short drive along the pylons (to avoid an extremely long came track hidden in the dunes), crossing a small technical area. The focus of the drive were the cordons of long-range dunes which make up most of this area, between Al Lisaili’s camel track and Solar Park. While we did encounter some bushes (which this year seem to resist the summer heat and drought like never before), we managed to drive mostly unhindered by vegetation, on surprisingly firm and hard sand. We also enjoyed great views, saw magnificent sandstone formations, and glimpsed at camels, gazelles and oryxes.

• Speed – The convoy managed to cover 72.9 Km in 3 hours and 17 minutes, at an average speed of 22 Km/h. So that casual readers may not think that we just drove on flat terrain, I should add that we climbed a total of 531 meters, having started from an altitude of 1 meter, reaching a maximum altitude of 97 meters. So we did quite a bit of ups and downs, with the climbing mostly done to criss-cross the long range dunes, and to ride their ridges.

• Smoothness – Considering the tricky technical dunes, with soft pockets of sand, at the beginning of the drive, and the novelty of the itinerary, where quite a bit of dune crossing is required, I had expected a few stuck and refusals, and planned accordingly, to reach Solar Park at sundown. Instead, apart for a stuck at the beginning, and one at the end by two unnamed drivers (as we say in Italy, mention the sin not the sinner), we proceeded so smoothly, with nobody experiencing any kind of problems, that after 1 hour of uninterrupted and silent driving I stopped to check that everybody’s radios were still on, and to enjoy a drink of water, which I had been unable to have due to the absolutely riveting drive. So, we ended up reaching Solar Park well before sundown, and decided to proceed through the lower part of Qudra, until we reached the exit point west of Qudra Parking Lot.

   

I’d like to end the report mentioning the convoy order: @Kalahari as a precise and cool Second Lead, @Najeeb Mohammed in third, managing his FJ as well as I have ever seen him, @Chaitanya D following in fourth without batting an eye (commendable considering this was his second drive of the day) @Colin Jordan at Center Forward, whose task of practicing recoveries was denied, @Rinelle Sanaani and @Febin Fredericcompleting the Wrangler contingent, in complete control of their drive, @Mels Wolfsweeping an all too clean convoy, and, last but not least, our new Crew member @Srikumarsavoring his well deserved top rank in a relaxing Flying Sweep position.

 

Thanks to all for another very enjoyable adventure, and see you soon out there.

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi this was a great planned trip. I really enjoyed it and well done to everyone making the ride so fluid obviously shown a lot of skills to keep the ride going.
