@Wrangeld it’s realy a struggle everywhere but if I we got stuck here in front of the jammed screen at 7 pm Sunday maybe tomorrow we will not ! , any chance available still ? please let me know and priority for the one before sure

Hi @Emmanuel Is there still a room for one more ? Maybe it’s too late now

I am so delighted to learn this good news . Another small step in climbing the Off road ladder and yet bigger one in bearing responsibility and ensuring safety to self and others. Thank you @Gaurav for all the support and help all along. @Frederic I always read your valuable “ gold mine “ posts that are related to technique and desert navigation , todays one I already have on my smart phone but it feels easier now.Thank you. Brother @Rahimdad I am overwhelmed with your appreciation and tolerance to others . Some another leaders still I haven’t driven with them yet but surely the pleasure will be all mine to see you all in near future drives. thank you all fine people here and congratulations for all who were promoted. Look far beyond dunes and if you can reach be ready To go further , it’s not our vehicles who carry us but our self determined spirit do! cheers and drive safe 🌷👍🚙 Mohamed Thank you dear friend and colleague 😉@Chaitanya D

@sertac congratulations and looking forward to drive together again . Cheers

Really car and motorbikes are entirely different worlds in all aspects and what can be applied in one world is inapplicable to other ( e.g : I can up shift from sec to 5th gear in a small 200cc motorcycle clutchless and sequentially up with no skip but in car still can skip one gear up if rpm high enough ) .same for pipe exhaust 🤔

@Barry thanks for last info well clear what if the muffler only totally removed will the sound ( sound pollution ) be worse than if the a whole was created from the exhaust pipe just after existing the engine ? What I am trying to say does pipe length affect sound ? because I still believe that muffler helps only 30% of noise because it’s at the end

@topgear I agree family comes first , I have similar matter now and that’s why can’t join evening drives and only morning one meanwhile what I do till I progress to newbie then the room gets wider and so on ! cheers 👍🚙

@Tbone congratulations . Hard work is always rewarded back . Cheers 🚙👍

All what is called by Active assisted traction control system for 4WD won’t operate unless you are In Lo gear and in low rev .and as a matter of fact even no matter what you give a gas the sensors will keep the rev low to the limit before damage occurs to the differential and that what @Gaurav was trying to explain earlier . ( please correct me if I am mistaken ) . now to try to simulate this complicated Fine process Manually is not , I think , impossible . You need i precise brain feet ( break,gas) coordination. I was wandering really how rubicon Crowlers up a rocky mountain with steady gas and left foot on break when needed , but maybe this is another control technique as already their front and rear lockers on !

Thank you @Gaurav and appreciate your response for clarifying this matter. And yes safety is at top priority with no compromise . Thanks to @Srikumar and all other senior team members who support each drive and after all we complete each other.

It’s like I am not a rich man to buy cheep stuff ! .... in fact it’s true in most times

Dear @Rahimdad, @Gaurav, @Srikumar, @Emmanuel, @Frederic, @Ale Vallecchi, @Wrangeld, and all other seniors in this lovely off road Club community each by his name. We are observing increase demand on the drives and still it will be more as the season is peaking soon. And the highest is in the newbie drives as this rank every one can join and not the other way around off course. This will leave many not getting the chance on weekly bases especially the Friday morning time. I kindly suggest if there is a possibility to increase the newbie drive session to 4 drives instead of 3 as a start to match the demand. And these in turn to be distributed equally on whole Friday morning and evening or as appropriate. I hope to consider my request if at all possible . Cheers and drive safe 👍🚙🌷 Mohamed

It crossed my mind before diff lock was invented how off-roaders we’re doing it ?! In another words is there away to simulate diff lock manually ? As I know in some modern 4X4 the diff lock idea is based on the breaking system .then I came across this interesting topic by @syed salman raza . Thank you for sharing Both @Gaurav and @desertdude Thanks for the feedback . really this world is like the sea the more you drink the more you get thirsty ! cheers 🌷🚙

The article and I agree with @Barry . These modifications really should be done by someone who knows exactly how to do it in order to achieve the wanted purpose from removing the CC ( cat. Conv ) in offroad or race event . But for me as I am using my X off as well as on I will keep it till the thing becomes more suspense at advance levels 😎

@Barry useful and important info . Thank you indeed

Hello dear passionate off-roaders I found this regarding pros and cons regarding catalytic converters removal . https://greengarageblog.org/13-removing-catalytic-converter-pros-and-cons for me : The disadvantages overweight the advantages that we are trying to make this planet more green . what do you think ?! cheers and drive safe 👍🚙🌷

I Agree . the muffler will reduce the noise by 30% .I am not expert , but I know it when I wanted to make some modification to my sport motorcycle on the pipe system , and when I came to know about RTA regulations I just changed the muffler only but not the catalytic converter. i don’t know for cars how it works , long distance , some times double mufflers !

Hi @Nivin As far as I know catalytic converters being removed and whole pipe system changed in the world of motorcycles especially super sport to increase performance by increasing Horse power few increments ( which make difference in race events ) and for sound as well to become louder and deeper ( safety : hey bike is here ! ) however on road and as far as I know RTA are strict for that and I am afraid they may not pass the machine ) regarding cars I would assume it’s critical to be present . I agree with @Frederic and @sertac : It’s costly and Sharjah scrapyard would Be not bad option to look for the parts needed . I know one guy in Ajman might help finding a solution for you . Name :Ahmed Tel : 050 946 0810 good luck cheers And drive safe 👍🚙🌷

@Dagdag Sofiane congratulations wish you progress and joy safely .

Can you add me @Gaurav to the Waiting list please

Congratulations @Vanessa8580

@Lisa PembertonYou are mostly welcome ! @topgear please if you can find any other way to keep the TW safe but not around you neck ! It’s my opinion

Hi @Lisa Pemberton small items shouldn’t be loose , try arrange them in small box and these in turn in bigger one and secure it by straps , bungee cord , ... etc radio squeez it press fit in the ashtray place , for your vehicle I think can be in cup holder .
