    4 LO or 4 HI, that is the question...poetic huh:)

    I see you drive a 2009 SWB, so do I. 2009’s 200Hp 3.8L engine is renowned to be under-powered. It’s the reason they switched to a 285Hp 3.6L post 2012. 
    Nevertheless, with the same 3.8L, I have been able to scale Iftar Bowl, Super Bowl and several other mighty hill climbs. But I was able to do so only after failing countless times. It took time for me to learn my car, and I believe it’s exactly what you have to do to overcome your issue, Learn your car. Through trial & error, learn the sweet points of your car, such as the tire pressure etc.

    Here’s what I do that allows me to scale such tall dunes:

    1, Tire pressure: 8 Psi rear, 9 Psi front. I have Geolanders (a bit lighter than BFG)

    2, Remove the J6 fuse to completely switch off Traction control and ABS (Now I got a Kill Switch, easier)

    3, I drive in 4H, in D. Switch to 2, when I see an oncoming climb, switch to 1 several seconds into the climb.

    Since it’s under-powered, it needs a run up to get that torque to kick in. That’s why, keep ample distance from the car in front and keep a lookout what’s coming ahead. 
    When approaching a climb, 50-70 Meters prior to it, switch to 2 and press throttle to the floor (Safely ofc, watch out for Bumps!!). This is done to get those RPMs up high (I usually go 4.5k+). Once you get onto the climb and your car faces the sky, and the RPMs start to drop, shift to 1 (Timings should be precise, make sure RPMs don’t drop too low, I shift at around 3.5k, you can only master this through practice). It’s the 1st gear that keeps you going throughout the climb. Wiggling the steering wheel also helps a bit with traction. And thats pretty much it, after mastering the techniques, you won’t face any such hill climb issues.

    Oh and switch off AC compressor before the hill climb for some extra Push 😂

    It was mostly a smooth flowing drive , given  the route chosen by @Wrangeld, and thanks for trusting me with the 2nd lead role.

     But for the "double stuck" at the same crest by me, it would have been almost recovery free. Continuously getting crested on the same dune twice and just scraping through on the 3rd attempt, is not really something to be proud of :-) . Thanks to  @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ and @Abdul Rafay-S for the double tug, it must have been annoying to tug me out the second time 🙏 at the same place.

    Still scratching my head, as to what was influencing my judgement , preventing me from getting that right level of gas, having done plenty of straight up/straight down on dunes. Probably the darkness, as this was my first proper night drive ? 

    So , a lesson learnt - do more night drives and get it right!!!

    Good to drive again with @Danish Mohammad @Pacific @Mario Cornejo, meeting some new faces @TheoB, @Santoso Marjuki and @Bernard Kalaani.

    Looking forward and coming back for more !!

     

    @Sunil Mathew no worries buddy. All was part of game. This is how we all learn. Rest is very well explained by @Wrangeld.

    Dear Desertnauts,

    I'll fill you in on tomorrow's PM drive in the same way I'd like to manage our long trek: fast !!

    Meeting point - see below, as well as in the drive's post:

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/JmktsxXrpfie3SgLA

    WARNING: the meeting point is a bit tricky to find, when following Google Maps. I'll try to explain better. From Qudra's Last Exit, please take the road to Bab al Shams Resort (first right at the Qudra roundabout, coming from Dubai). Upon reaching the first roundabout, take the second exit, to reach this point:

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/oeXzNh6zySDJZ7Hf9

    Once passed the bike track, please reach the meeting point by taking a right dirt track through the sabkha, until you reach a construction camp, where I will be parked. In case of need, please text me on +971.522163122.

    Planned itinerary - entering from northern Qudra and exiting at Murqab (Inshallah)

    Meeting time - 3:00PM (not later, please, as we are hoping to cover as much ground as possible, racing against the sunset)
