Sorry, I woke up not feeling well. 

Please remove my name from the list. 

I have a personal matter to deal tomorrow, i won't have enough time to attend to this drive. 

sorry

For those curious about what happened with the Subaru... 

Confirmed, I had a crack in the rear diff caused by me doing crazy stuff 3 days before the drive when i was camping. I got hit by a rock.

Still waiting the metal squid plates to arrive from USA.

A friend in Dubai had the spare parts of a old diff, he made a "Frankenstein" and replaced the cracked shell of my diff. My diff was almost dry and i was running basically in 2 wheel drive. 

See you next time 😂

2 days ago i hit a rock when i was camping. My rear diff was leaking and haven't notice it. I drove back home on 2 wheel drive. 

I was waiting the metal squid plates to arrive 😂😂

See you as soon I fix this. 

Sorry for making everybody loose time. 😕

Please, wait list me 👍

It was fun. 

New suspension Kit approved 😁

It was a great acquisition 

See you all tomorrow 👍

Oh you got different springs ? Where did you find them ?

ironman 4x4, the Dubai's brand brought the kit from USA and assembled here on my car 😁. 

Time to test it. Almost 2 more inches of ground clearance, and the suspension is really really smooth on the road 👍

Time to test the Subaru add on 😁

Like I always say, you want something done right, do it yourself

The drive started at slow pace and gradually @Asif Hussainbhai has stepped up to slightly higher level after gaining confidence in the convoy and then came the real fun, really enjoyed all your drives and this one too. Thanks @Asif Hussain@Josh T.@Farouq Owdeh@ShereenMKfor your helping hand.

@Erik Ean bro, you  handled your car beautifully and to its extreme I think so…

Everyone did well, glad to be part of this convoy...see you all soon 

 

@Hasan Wahlanhope all well with you.. 

The funny thing about the drive, after my refusal on that heavy climb, we have gone through 2 other similar climbs, almost identical to the first one, however on these, the car made it through with no issues. 

I'll wait the new suspension kit to arrive, it will give me almost 2 more inches of ground clearance and the new suspension has more efficient action on the off road terrain. The stock is too soft, any minor bumps makes the front bumper to hit the ground. Not to mention the road radial tyres 😁😁

Guys thank you all for the recoverys. It was a fun morning. 😁

Was a fun drive, some shoveling, couple of crestings (even from the Grand Master @Asif Hussain), Subaru losing another (or the same) piece of meat, all the good fun) Thanks everybody and especially the organiser and supporting team!

It was the same plastic fender 😂😂

This time I will use metal clips to assemble it back in place 😁

Well, "today" ends at 11:59PM, correct? 

Abu Dhabi Curfew ends today.

If possible, get to the camp sooner them 6AM, it will give us more available time to the drive. 

@Srikumar

You know why my wheel fender fell off? 

The staff in the suburu show room disassembled the fender to do some repair on the left side suspension. 

When they assembled the fender back inplace instead of using 4 holders (which is the default way to fix it) they used only one. Of course one holder would not support all the bumps of a desert drive. I'll will file a claim on the show room

Myself and @Jeepie are looking forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow morning. 

If you have a radio, please bring it with you - otherwise, we do have spares. We will use Carnity channel #1. 

The convoy numbering we will sort when we start tomorrow. 

It would be great if we can leave as close ot 5am as possible as it gets mighty warm later in the day. 

Any questions, please let me know. 

@Erik Ean - just to confirm you will not be coming? You removed your RSVP, so if that was a mistake, let me know or we will not wait for you. 

Unfortunately I had to withdraw my name, I have a task to finish this evening and it will probably hold me until 2AM. 

Time to get the Subaru dirty... Again 😁

I'm getting addicted to this 🤣🤣
