Thanks @Ale Vallecchi. Please note @Mohamed Seidam will be joining for lunch

@Ale Vallecchi I will be joining for lunch at 1:30 pm. See you on Saturday

No wonder driving in desert takes a toll on the car

@sertac, well done

@Frederic I totally agree with you. Was wondering if we can have a training /demo on how to use the Gaia maps . I am sorry if my request is very naive but it would be great to learn from someone who has already mastered it.

Congratulations

Mumtaz ya Habibi ( Excellent my dear friend) @Mohamed Seidam

I am using my trails since few weeks, but still need more time to get hold of it . Wanted to know how it fares with Gia in terms of functionality, ease of use and editing?. TIA

Thanks @Frederic, yes I have got them fitted with high tensile bolts.

Congratulations @Tbone. Well done

Sharing my experience with tow or recovery points for xterra on the front. - very cumbersome to fabricate. - design needs to be prefect with use of atleast 10mm steel I had mine done few months back, all was done with 10mm except the base plate which attaches to chassis which was slightly thinner as shown in pic below The one on the left got bent ( top one in the pic below)while tugging a few times from the front, as shown It was a struggle to get this out as the base plate had to be cut after removing the skid plate and radiator bracket and replace a new one which was done with 10mm steel all around. Used new bolts (stock nissan) to fix to chassis. I hope it holds good now. Xterra owners please note - to tow /tug as much as possible from the back. - front tow points need a lot of time to fabricate good ones and fix them.prefer 10mm steel atleast - any other suggestions or experiences welcome.

@Ale Vallecchi just wondering if car with a diff lock is a must for this drive?

Congratulations @asifk. Well done

Congratulations @Shiju Manuel. Well done

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for the constant learning experience provided in your drives with meticulous planning and amplifying the challenges. See you soon

@Emmanuel still remember how you guided me in deflating on my first drive when I was unable to climb a smallish dune . It's been a good progressive learning from that point. Thank you for all the guidance

Congratulations @Kalahari. well deserved and well done !

@Mohamed Seidam Shukran Habibi. Discussing the drives with you during free time has bought in a new way for us to unwind and relax , ease out the stress at in a positive way. Cheers 💐

Thanks @Kalahari. Infact driving with you and all buddies @Brette @Najeeb Mohammed, @Febin Frederic, @Jolly Abraham, @J J, @Shiju Manuel, @Anish S, @Tbone , @Jun Zamora ( sorry if I missed many more names) has been a very pleasant experience. Definitely look forward to drive more with you all! Thank you @Wrangeld. Yes changing the car has brought in a positive change , as I drive more carefree now with more confidence. Your guidance in many drives I attended with you has also been a excellent learning . One of the best parts has been your drive briefings before the drive on radio , simply amazing!

Thank you @Gaurav. Quite a welcome change in the last 6 months how joining drives with carnity has become a routine. Otherwise it was always hanging out till late on thursdays and wake up late on fridays. I hope I will be able to contribute as much as possible positively to the club and all off roaders. @Frederic Ha ha ha, yes this comment was made quite frequently at home that I have started living in desert on weekends. But being with you and all other like minded off roaders has been a memorable experience. Thank you Thanks @Srikumar. I hope I cope with what comes with this. Driving with you and your calm approach to any situation has made me a better driver on sand.

Congratulations @Vanessa8580. Your energy and enthusiasm is always very motivating. Well done!👍
