Dear @Gaurav and @Chaitanya D i wish i could join this drive that i was waiting for. however as we say in my language : 'the wind comes sometimes against the appetite of the ships' 😔... Job Call 😷!

Congratulations @sertac wish you best !

@Brette congratulations ! Looking forward to drive with you soon

Congrats @Najeeb Mohammed!

I would like to add to what @Frederic explained and it’s considered one of the disadvantages of generally non GCC vehicles that they are not fully covered by most reputable insurance companies and off road not covered , possibly due to the risk of being a “ LEMON “ even if apparently looked fine !

Self recovery Of @Nihal17 upon instructions from @Gaurav

I think you need to resize them first then try once more

Thank you @Rahimdad for this wonderful thread and I felt proud while reading the words you wrote about how the story begun exactly the same fire of passion growing with each single drive I have done so far. I have seen Liwa dunes Up to Ghaiathi in the heart of the empty quarter when I was at age of 10 or younger when I my dad used to take us by his land cruiser ( his nature of work let him drive ) ... I realize Carnity has relighted the fire of passion of the desert in me and more than that all the help and support from the very beginning from @Gaurav and off course my colleague and friend @Chaitanya D . at times of crises ( Covid 19 ) we stand still at home, at work , and yet behind the steering wheels Navigating the desert that we all love , with all the precautions on ! cheers 🚙❤️🌷

Thank you @Nitin Mohan for the recovery clip , priceless learning tool indeed

@Ajiesh George Kannankara thank you for the wonderful clip , especially the footage from air , well done 👍

From newbie drive 2/10/2020 to pink rock . please listen to @Gaurav instructions to @Nihal17

There is a thread was suggested by @Rahimdad and executed by my self that we can upload all recoveries as one place for easy access and collection the greatest of recoveries first download to you tube then copy link and paste it

@Brette This is a complete restoration from the scrap graveyard to the most difficult terrain this vehicle would like to be in.👍

Can’t deny it’s temptation 😎

Indeed the JGC is a roaring beast , Ask me about it ,especially the 10 years back models , and still roars till now in , I would say , a delicate fine and sharp way with all of the electronics and sophisticated Data in it . I agree with @Rahimdad friend about why not , as long as the project within reasonable time frame and budget . I had to make a tough decision wether to make a project on my existing JGC 2015 and to make it to be Sand “ resistant “ vehicle thorough couple of mods ( ground clearance , High profile tires, spacers suspension related to its trim , under car armor to protect radiator and engine , electronic modifications to kill things you all know ...etc ) and with best hands the coast of all that was approaching a figure near 18000 . Also keep in mind the maintenance which is quite not cheep .So I took a step back and had a second thought. .... eventually I left the luxury for home and got my X with best deal and the parallel projects had almost compatible final price .However with X peace of mind ( personal opinion ) cheers 😎🚙👍

All American brand vehicles have always the left side mirror flat and the right curved ( not true image ) , same in my JGC . ... for sure it’s the right way , cause that’s what side mirrors are made for to look into them after you look to the rear one first ( to get the panoramic view ) !

@Rahimdad bro , I Was lucky this time . Last time I missed it at 30 sec ! wait list seems to override the original RSVP list soon as well 🤭

@Wrangeld Dear Richard hearty congratulations, smooth Character and desert passionate , looking forward to drive with you once again . cheers 🌷

Congratulations @Francois Germishuys

@Mehmet Volga congratulations and well done !
