Deepak sir, I have no more PSI’s left to go down on 😂 I second this, @Frederic made a bold decision to bring down 5psi since then it did wonders for me 💪

Haha what a day! Excited to ride with you again tomorrow! 🚗

Sorry lads, woke up to find out about a domestic matter I’m needed for. Enjoy and we shall meet again soon! 🥲

Excited for tomorrow! @DP1011 can you please share the closest petrol station along the meeting point?

@Batuhan Kulac as per my Jimny group, the springs are a no go if you’re looking for comfort. Ironman and dobinsons for Jimny have a terrible on and off road comfort quality. Rather get Profender Reds (adjustable) and either Kings (yellow ones) or Profender springs to stay in a budget and get the best of comfort. 3200 dhs total. Lastly I am running Profender and Kings springs, no issues at all. if you want to remain within dobinsons, we advice Dobinsons IMS set (can get costly) Buzz me on IG and I can give details on the place and full costing.

Hey @Ale Vallecchi Got something come up last min, dropping out, have fun!

Hey Looper, will sit this one out. See you soon

Is it weird that my hands are itching to go back? That does speak a lot about the outstanding experience we all had. Thank you very very much @Frederic for organizing this, I have rendered this trip as an Oman experience, and I'm happy with it. I have to say, I genuinely had doubts before joining the convoy. But Fred believed in me and gave me that 'one chance' (lol) and I can now proudly say that I am LIWA certified (awaiting the sticker Fred). Wouldn't had been possible without our amazing convoy and it's leaders. @M.Seidam@DP1011. Some highlights below Soft sand is an understatement when it comes to Liwa. I got a refusal 3 mins into the drive, back of my mind I was like 'what did I get myself into' - but further down my sight I could see Fred and Deepak sir quietly watching and assessing. Immediate motivation booster haha! The dunes sang for me whenever we headed down, that was a true ':O' experience. I thought I had a pop out and its creating that sound. Nonetheless, all captured on video. 😳 Deepak sir had a simple yet interesting situation, jerry can leaking. When @Amr A used his surgeon steady hands to transfer the fuel, it's only to find out that one is leaking too lol. 😋 Fred being on standby while DP checks out the dunes and gives the go ahead really saved us from some tricky bowls. Well done! 👍🏼 Unfortunately, I looked away for 5 seconds on the sabka and went off track and hit the front of the car from a step. Which caused my car to create weird sounds when I braked and when I took a half left turn. Bothered Fred from his well deserved break to check out the car and he was kind enough to do a thorough check just for my peace of mind. Although the issue was not identified and the grinding and grunting existed till the end of the trip, massive respect for Fred was gained. 🫶🏻 Heading to our final camping site and seeing the beautiful sunset was a sight to behold. But an even better sight was when our second convoy rolled up on our camping spot one after the other, next to each other with loud music blasting from their cars. @Simon D @GauravSoni 👏🏼 After a quick spin by the second convoy, @Imran Asghar decided to retire the rush and set camp as you cant be lucky thrice. Wise move sir! 🫡 The beautiful sun set as the stars came out, a blanket of pearls in the sky with little to no light pollution. Couldn’t stop looking away. Our fireside stories began and one by one, we voiced our experiences digging deep into our Carnity journey. ✍🏼 Headed straight to the tower the next morning, no rush, at ease at our own pace. @Batuhan Kulac got to try the Jimny and fell in love. @Amr A was able to squeeze his legs in the driver seat and immediately smiled once settled. ✅ As we inflated and said our goodbye’s, I was excited for this to happen again next season. 💪🏼 Learnings from the drive: I have a whole another level of love for Jimny’s Create your own lines when the going gets tough Push, but don’t over push. Fine line between getting bogged and making it out Any and I mean any mechanic can fix a Jimny. That incident costed me 20 dhs and a screwdriver to unbend the disk. Heads up the person behind you and request patience, @Alphin Aloor being a champion with that. Thank you. See you all post Eid. #JimnyPower

Will be arriving by 10-10:15.. on route now

Those who are arriving tonight to camp (including me), maybe we choose one of the options Fred mentioned and camp together? 😎 @Frederic

@Frederic Thanks for the info. As I will be packing light - I will end up with option 2 on friday night. Wake up early on Saturday, head to the station, freshen up & fuel up and be ready at the meeting point by 7:30AM.

My first drive with @Looper - and damn he is fearless. If anyone has played the old Prince of Persia games, you might remember the 'wall running' technique. Pretty famous. I really didn't know cars can wall run too. Even though at times I gulped before attempting, but the sheer passion of pushing myself, kept me going. As Looper said himself, there is a fine line between challenging your self and stupidity, I steered down whenever I started to fall towards the latter. @PAJERO petelczyc luke, great SL, and thanks for the heads up, plate watching and ofc the fuel top up! Learning from the drive - 95% of the time 1st gear on 4H, a Jimny can take it. - Wiggling worked on higher climbs. - With enough momentum a vertical wall of soft sand can be driven on and even crossed over. - Radio silence means people are having a lot of fun - Fuel up even if it shows full 🤷🏼‍♂️ #JimnyPower
