Congratulations @Mark D 👍

Congratulations @Joji varghese 👍

Congratulations @Davie Chase well done 👍

Congratulations @ZULFIKHAR NAIYAR for finally finding your offroad vehicle The first step you need check /replace all fluids / lubes . the next step get your bash plate fixed initially you can check the engine/gear mounts and if in good condition no need to replace them right now . Look at the tires if it’s validity more than half way probably better to change them to A/T high profile tires once good for all fir the next two years average daily driving and weekly off road regarding specific garages I am afraid we are not promoting anything like that in here and any decent reputable garage can do the job for Xterra Cheers seidam

Well done dear @Shaaz Sha actually that was my initial plan but in the reverse direction Lisaili to solar via murqab and Faqa . But this wouldn’t be possible without passing a high tech parches at the outline of the buffer zone. Alternatively Qudra completed my intended spunk of three different areas with a terrain of their owns.

Thanks @Gregoryfor your feedback you drove fantastic today .. yeah I forgot to switch back to 4WD button .. but trust me it wouldn’t be the case in solar park part as it was the softest sand and I would know. However in Qudra the sand was slightly harder 😅 . this coincidence proves that deflated tires is the king in off-roading especially sand and I always drive on 10 PSI and warmer conditions even 9 😉

Thanks @topgear for your nice feedback ( oh didn’t know that there was a motion sickness pill 💊😄, thanks to @munkybizness ). Actually theses pills work perfect when given one hour before the intended event . Nevertheless ( possibly it was the combination of the pill , advice and the jet lag 😉 ) I am glad that he was fine 🙏 thanks for the nice capture of my” trap stuck “ 🤣 actually it didn’t look bad as the reality may seemed .😅 See you my friend soon .🙏

Trip Report Dear friends @munkybizness @Zixuan Huang - Charlie @topgear@Gregory @Warren Flay@Bernard Kalaani@Daniel Yang@Gilbert Khalil what a pleasant morning to start by meeting some friends @Rizwanm2 and @Daniel Yang at the first gas station along the way to lisaili. Still I had to stope one more time again as I realized that the tank was just at three quarter full ! Apparently the guy didn’t make it full.still there in the next one I met @Gaurav fueling up his Pagero. Real pleasure . … I said to my self it’s our day today and it was . At the meeting point every one was on time. Flagging up and deflating after which an inside radio check and brief was done and we started our trip warming up slowly slowly till we got to the northern long range dunes of lisaili where we encountered the first stuck which was the only one for the whole trip . Please guys if any one got a pict of the nose of my Xterra kissing the ground in almost 60 degree up/ down have it in the gallery 😀 . I knew it was coming so I immediately gave the instruction to my second lead to reroute as appropriate and @Zixuan Huang - Charlie just perfectly did it. It didn’t take of much time to clear the path in front of the front of the car and the rest was just a piece of cake. Thank you guys for the shoveling exercise .🙏 Moving again slightly faster in pace after this physical warming and here it’s worth mentioning that the ridges and hardness of the ground precluded “formal” ridge riding and crisscrossing . I took it just easy and when ever it gets better we had some of that. .. our first break was at the Sabkha for about 10 min for a streach and I could have my sec cup of my home made espresso ☕️ Containing south crossing dunes one after the other till we joined the Baja track for a short while to re enter the dunes again before it’s end south again and keeping the Chimney as to my left as possible 😀 Now I felt the sand more softer and having more cushioning feel on descent so we enjoined in and out bowling in slightly faster and safer till we had to stop for a while to check Charley’s rising coolant temperature which it turned to be of no apparent major cause and transient . The other reason Topgear passenger felt unwell slightly . Being rested and comfortable I took an easier course toward the exit and by the time we were near the tarmac at solar park it was only 10:40 almost . Topgear , Gelbert Khalil and warren flay preferred to exit at that point and after checking that all ok and thanking them the remaining convoy and in agreement continued for anther almost one hour and that was in Qudra where we found the sand quality in between of lisaili and solar park. We played till the content of our heart to have our last break at my favorite crescent moon lake after which we exited at Bab shams where it was pointing to 11:50 on my watch . I have to say that I enjoyed my day today with you guys and every one of you did more than great and really drove very well. Thanks for being there enjoying supporting and sharing the passion . till we meet next time take care drive safe and have a good week ahead cheers P.S some pictures in Gallery and 👇 a relive
