3 T jack is heavier but makes lifting extremely easy once you have it in right position. As everyone mentioned the downside is its heavy to carry around Speedex has it available online (Yato Brand 2T) https://www.speedextools.com/jacks/586-low-profile-service-jack-2-ton-101720.html?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=329806162e4776f210dc0544d520d8a0077b86ae-1607396370-0-AfsX75GG1Qgms1NeT2sfwLDX4h2vxcoYdB1g8XEGlaTvjV0knIHZqPxYMJB3EC4Pncv_QRGBs3xytkPNJB3UhY7lLGXfrkVigtSjG9hZXvshX1WZwM1BtQlTZqPMKIzfD7mh2mqN7nbF6AtxTNjx2kEPa6DRUGpPIP2Kav4g0EkH8r_UgoYrgfDOcvWy7fIHTLvGcZn-Qyw0f9_tw6scNmegCqMASf9KbRGBOf3vOluAi81a99ARAQlCYOtAWVlgHKqm6kMH3CdUSZSdGSJFXMs5i3LMz7Ec4yiYtHVJ6opJra8mhGvTEy0MDb6icvGV6eM1fTrt-hFdO6HZAbkufeDSD0eTqHVIaFOzrXS2_ZuKg_ngXE_mnCojJoqHLRq-RA

Very informative footage @Zed From What I see all of you were doing flat grounds pretty comfortably in the initial 3-4 min, then you started to push your cars . We all emphasize often that there is no contest / competition when on drives, but somehow everyone (including me) can get carried away. You learnt it the hard way, but I am sure you will come back a better driver . We all make and learn from our mistakes

This video is private, Cant see it.

You did very well Rizwanm2. As you drive more IM it's more thrilling and action packed including lot of ridge riding, crisscrossing, climbs and last bit not the least doing/assisting in recoveries Having seen and been driving with you since your NB drives, the way you have performed is very impressive. You do your basics right which is why your progress has been very fast . Well done 👍 Having seen and been driving with you since your NB drives, the way you have performed is very impressive. You do your basics right which is why your progress has been very fast . Well done 👍

@sri ganesh congratulations 👍

Very happy for you @Abu Muhammad. Congratulations, enjoy the shovelling and tugging now on😂

Great going @Shaaz Sha. Congratulations

It's been a pleasure to see how you drive and have been constantly getting better , well done 👍

It was indeed great you and everyone on the drive enjoyed it. Your presence as sweep helped me to enjoy my lead, and when one enjoys what one does it always gets better. It was fantastic to watch you climb to the top of all dunes at big red .

Trip Report: Foggy mornings and cool weather is a perfect prelude to start your joy ride, especially in Tawi Nazwa/Pink Rock/Big red area. We gave about 15 min extra time considering the fog and the darker situation with poor visibility. All drivers arrived well in time and ready to go. We did a quick debrief and started our foggy drive with lights on. Thank you Vanessa for the numbering and radio checks As soon as we started to enjoy the light getting better and the dunes becoming more visible, I heard a car honking and driver waving at me. We drove towards him and he was seeking if we could help as his friends car had a tire pop out from what I understood. Driving towards the other LC which was crested- probably revving and doing sand splashing, the tire was not popped out but ripped off from the wheel. We had a chat and decided to help them, which is something we all at Carnity are never shy to do. I tugged the car out onto flat and we all changed their tire in quick time, thanks to everyone for the amazing team work. After spending some time here , and the light getting better we continued our drive towards pink rock. Quickly getting onto the top, playing there , before we had four cars in a super soft bowl considering the long weekend churning all tracks. Ashok , and Veedoshee did some amazing self recovery and maneuvering to get out of that bowl. Thanks Vanessa for some fantastic advises , and Islam for tugging me when I got stuck trying to see what was happening. We drove around pink rock, headed towards Big Red which was in and out of bowls like a roller coaster, bumpy of course considering the million cross tracks. Everyone drove so well here that there was absolute Radio silence for almost 45 to 60 min before we took a break. We were at Big red in decent time safely, and played here doing climbs, tall sides and some criss crossing. You all drove really well that we could make it to Big Red ,even after losing time at the start. @Islam Soliman was a perfect second lead, awesome team man and a perfect tamer of his beast Yukon. Great to have you on any drive and thanks for all the support. @Ashok chaturvedi much improved , great driving in and out of bowls. You did really well to oscillate, get momentum and out of the soft bowl at Pink rock, great work Sir @Veedooshee for her first FB + was simply awesome. Great control and some great self recoveries, very energetic as always and full of enthusiasm. @jodha singh shekhawat you have a great car which can be pushed further safely as you get more used to it. You did really well without any issues and sticking to basics.Well done @Yousef Alimadadi did a great job as center forward, and there weren't much instances where he had to come out to shovel /tug. Thank you for all the support. @Abu Muhammad driving a controlled monster was seen having a great time, especially at Big red. I absolutely love the roar of the V8 climbing the dunes and ruffling sand. @Piotr Kolodziej enjoyed the dunes approaching big red area. Controlled driving and maneuvering, considering he was at the back.Well done buddy @Mohamed Seidam did great being at the back of the convoy. Some nicely managed self recoveries , fantastic communication and acknowledgement. Climbing Big red on the X was a treat to watch, well done @Vanessa8580 was late addition to the drive as support , and I must say she was amazing at it. Always getting in quickly to help and advise anyone who had an issue and great to see the energy you bring on any drive by your presence. Thank you so much. @Lucky sAm and @Tariq Carrimjee you missed out on a great drive, but hope your issues are sorted. Take care Enjoy your week at work, to come back again next weekend. You are advised to apply for promotion if you have completed the required drives and have the necessary gear for the next level. Cheers!

Trip Report: Driving to the starting point itself was quite an adventure as it was very foggy with very less visibility , especially after exiting off Al Ain road. Thank you every one for turning up on time and starting the drive as scheduled. We drove along the sabkhas to enter a slightly technical terrain , with very poor visibility. But as it was getting brighter by min it was very much manageable. All did well here to get into the long range dunes of Faqa where we started some nice side sloping and ridges. It was here that one of the cars had a pop out in a soft bowl with poor access to the chassis and the LCA covered by the tire. We tried out bit to sort it there ,which was not working as the jack was not lifting the tire enough. Had to pull it out onto a flatter area where it could be fixed easily. Thanks to @Luca Palanca Falsini for doing this perfectly and safely. Even though the tire was fixed but it was found to be leaking along the rim edge and after a chat with the driver, we decided to exit. Driving back we had few refusals which were sorted quickly and some tugging needed as we entered technical terrain again. While doing this the tire with pop out was maintaining the pressure and hence it was amended to continue the drive, but with caution that at any point there is an issue then the exit would be tricky. Thankfully it was all fine till the end, and as a lead some decisions are always tricky. Personally I/We never wish any driver who signs up would exit for things beyond anyone's control, until it is under control. We did out bit going back into the long range dunes that Faqa has to offer, skirting along AD border and winding back onto the Sabkhas taking us to Solar park exit. For the time we drove, it was fast ,exciting and with lot of long ridge rides which was the best part of this eventful (If I can say) drive. You all showed great control of your cars , even for first timers like @Rizwanm2 who did really well. We exited after a slightly longish drive , exercised our driving capabilities in some terrain which had everything on offer . Most importantly we went all in and we were all out safely. @Tamas Hoffmann excellent second lead and well managed to get out of refusals. You were quick to respond for my rerouting advises which was great @Rizwanm2 did wonderful for his first IM drive. You will only get better as you drive more and stick to basics. Well done @Nizam Deen did well except for some instances with refusals and some needed tugging. You have a great car to drive and conquer terrains @Mehmet Volga loves this area - Lisaili/Murquab and Faqa. Never seen him shy of signing on these drives and it was great to have you this time. Well driven my friend @Tero Vallas again gets better quickly and it is indeed a treat to see how well you were driving. Even after the Liwa drive, your enthusiasm was nothing short. Fantastic @Anish S surfed his Pajero , great control in all areas and hardly any issues. Well done buddy @Luca Palanca Falsini quite impressive how quickly you have mastered off-roading and recoveries even in tricky situations. Thanks for all the help you offered @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Jun Zamora and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout - the wrangler boys, hardly heard on radio and absolutely no issues. Great to have you on any drive - full of energy, enthusiasm and involvement. Special thanks to Jeandre for a perfect sweep. At some areas I was driving exactly behind you after taking a loop and it was great to see you handle perfectly even on churned tracks. We at Carnity advised you all to have ABS /Traction kill switch on IM drives as it is very important in soft sand. Please disable your airbags as even on slightly higher side inclines your airbags (especially the side or curtain) can pop out . Get your tire pressure set to a level which is suitable for your kind of driving and your car dynamics. If you are not sure ,start with 15 PSI and go down . The quicker you get to the correct pressure for yourself , you will start enjoying the drives more than fixing pop outs. While this is all great learning and a must for any offroader, we can get better every time as we all try to do the same. Enjoy your week at work, Cheers!

@Veedooshee simply put for your first drive as FB+ , you were in total control . Getting out of refusals in some churned bowls and climbing big red were awesome. Way to go 👍

I have noticed this black pan takes significant scratches from off roading. While we all advise and use the front bash plate , once we start doing more offroading its better to install a transmission protection plate also (basically an extension of the front bash plate to cover this black ATM cover and further ). Generally it is advised for wadis, but safer for sand driving too
