Hi Goodafternoon

when is that morning drive comming I have paid for the month and waiting …soon that fee will finish without any drive 

Anyways it’s not nice to finish with your master class and then wait for a drive 

goodluck

 

dear @Thomas Collins Jayakumar I believe you have done a masterclass and hence you can join this drive .

Note the mandatory required gears for this drive being - shovel, deflator, compressor, radio and a flag.

Please do understand we are trying to sort these internally as well but since we have leads from different work schedules their reply or coms can take some time. Again to reiterate - especially at a newbie level all these clarifications are done for the sole intention being - to make the experience safe to all including you.

Hello @Thomas Collins Jayakumar I see in your profile that this will be your first drive with the club

Kindly note this drive is not for absolute newbies - i.e first timers with the club. Have you done any masterclass with any leads?

If not I am afraid you will have to sign out and join a day time Newbie drive for the first time 

thanks in advance

Hello,

I have 15 drives+ with other clubs and finished your masterclass with Kailas 2 weeks back. He has recommended i can join the fewbie after this first mandatory newbie drive.

Hi @Rajesh NG, if you have done a masterclass , it should be fine to join this drive and then you can do your self declaration on the forum for review and  getting to next level

Looking forward to my 1st night drive! No special lights required? (just checking). 

Hello @Theo09 no special lights needed. Regular lights on high beam with fog lamps should be okay when driving with a convoy. As a courtesy to fellow drivers just ensure your lights aren't glaring them

Hi @DP1011
My apologies, I was just looking at the post and event details. And may have inadvertently added myself to the Manage tab. Happy to be put on the waiting list since I'm not fully confirmed I'm available on Friday evening.

I've been driving with other Offroading groups for little over a year with 6-8 drives now. Recently acquired a new off-roader with the required lighting for night drives.

Looking forward to joining group drives soon.

@Arun Menon can you elaborate more on the off roading experience - weather it was with another club of just camping / barbeque rides?

If you have a newly acquired ride/car for off roading - I strongly suggest you to join a regular Newbie drive during day time to get acquainted with it ( unless you have driven already). Once you finish your mandatory newbie drive for joining this club, you can do the self declaration to get to next level for review 

Thank you @DP1011 for your advises ❤️

Hello Chaitanya; this is Vijay. I’m joining Carnity Night Newbie Desert Drive - Murquab - Dubai - 8 Apr 2023

Can you advise where I can purchase a walkie-talkie? I was at ace hardware for a shovel and the radio, but they are not selling the radios. I got a trifold bush ranger shovel

Can I have your contact number?

 

 

@Chaitanya D or, pls call me at 0526471735

Easiest and cheap is dragon mart 

online

or at the shop- quicker if you plan to get it today. Radio is a mandatory requirement to join.

It will be my first FJ drive:) looking forward to doing it with your lead.

I would strongly advise you to 

1. Run in/Break in the new car ( at least 500km+) more info on the forums https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/engine-break-in-for-the-fjc-v6.100127/. Many advises there from experienced members driving a FJ

2. Acquaint yourself with the gearing (after point 1) , how to engage 4H and 4L and ride it. Each car responds differently , and even with experienced driver like you or anyone - a new car needs some time to get used to. So take it easy

3.  Once you are done with 1 and 2, take it for a spin on sands - preferably during day light as visibility is better. 

I hope you get my advise sportively and not to discourage you to join. You are always a great driver and a friend to ride with .

@ObiWanAkNoobi y62 is a good car for off-roading sans the faster and challenging drives as you progress ( this is only opinion considering a heavy car)

we have had members here who have excelled in a Y62 or a bigger car too so it all depends on how you learn and progress , get to know your comfort level and be in sync with your car. They have indeed done all levels and climbed up the ladder in this club  in terms of experience , driving and being a great team member 

skid plates and bumper cuts are something to start with as @Frederic mentioned keep the rest for another day as you progress . 
welcome to off-roading
