Easy...just go the evening before, and camp at the meeting point...(of course not together, we have to maintain distancing). Anyone thinking the same...?

@Emmanuel sorry for this, but changed family plans doesn’t allow me to go in the afternoon, so I have to give up this...I thought I could make it somehow, but have had no luck...

@sertac Just saw the drive was cancelled 😞. What would be the minimum nr of people...? No chance to re- open the drive, maybe more people would be interested since Monday...?

No excuse for Monday😀😀

Great! Booked 72hrs before also!

@sertac @Rahimdad Thanks for making a second convoy! Practically, will we meet at the same spot as this convoy?

Yeahh!!!!!

This is ridiculous! The wait list is longer than the RSVP😂😂. Can you make a second convoy??

Please add me to wait list!

In the short time since I joined Carnity, I just simply assumed you already were a given ”elder” in the club - I mean whatever topic I was looking for on the forum, there was already a perfect article by @Frederic!! On the drives you always have been so amicable, relaxed and helpful, it has been pure joy to follow you! So ”well deserved” is a clear understatement, but big congrats from me!!

@Tbone Please remove me from the waiting list. Thanks!

Thanks for all inputs! I'll go shopping for Toby's...

Thank a lot @Chaitanya D and @Srikumar for your valuable input! I was actually thinking that the roof bar will serve both purposes (bout forward spot and sideway flood). I have seen some cars having this small "side shooters", and I thought it's more "looks" than functionality, but is seems they are good. It also seems that a led bar between the head lights is a very good investment. So maybe I go for all 3 positions... Any obvious garage that is dealing with this kind of work you would recommend..?

@Frederic Thanks for your inputs. I guess both reflection and noise is somewhat dependent on car type, size and mounting. I had another car before with roof lights, and the reflection was really a bad problem. I am just speculating that the FJ might be better in that sense, since the windsheild is more erect, and the bonet short. But then again, it's just me speculating, it would be good to hear from someone who has it... Same goes for noise - before buying the FJ, I was told the noise with the original roof rack on is very bad, but when I bought it, the previous owner removed the most front transverse bar, and there is no problematic noise... I also was thinking of a ledbar at the grill, but I have limited experience of driving off-road at night, is it not better to have the light higher up on the car?? What's your opinion?

Hi! I have an 2017 FJ with the original roof bars. I would like to install one led bar at the front of the roof, which I have seen many have, for off roading. My questions/concerns from those of you who have this kind of light installet are 2: 1. Is the light from this position "good", I mean not reflecting/lighting up the bonet? 2. Is there a lot of extra noise when driving on the highway? Thanks for your inputs, /Chris

Please add me to the WL.

Wow, thanks for all the cheerful encouragement and the promotion! I really look forward to more driving and more things to learn. It is amazing how this Carnity desert driving has developed in very short time to have a given place in my life - the weekly week-end drive! It is also fortunate to feel that there is always a next step to look forward to, more to learn, more to explore. Thank you all the marshals for your commitment and continuous support, and not least your endless patience... See you out there!

Thanks! Looking forward to playing like a maniac at the back, knowing I have such experts behind me, scooping me up If needed😂😂 And yes, it is a FJC, but I wouldn’t call it golden...😜

@Tbone please remove me from the wait list, I cannot drive on Friday.

@sertac Sorry, but I just pulled out of this drive, cause I found out I need to work on Friday...But I also found a spot on Saturday's drive.

@Chaitanya D I just joined the drive since I cannot drive on the planned drive on Friday, didn't see any waiting list here (strange), can you please confirm my spot...?

Pls add me to waiting list.

Pls add me to the waiting list.

@Rahimdad Sorry for the late notice, but an unexpected problem makes it impossible for me to join the drive tomorrow. Hope some other lucky guy gets my spot!

@Mehmet Volga Congrats buddy, very well done, and well deserved! See you out there!
