congratulations @Ahmad Nerat truly you deserve it my friend. well done and drive safe always enjoy your new level.

In my last night drive I got stuck in weird position and realised that the self recovery would slide the car into more difficult situation ending its rear to v pocket . The only way was to winch it forward to bring its left front wheel on ground. As we didn’t have winch I used long kinetic rope ( double rope ) and let the heavy LC to slide in forward direction without gas utilizing the steady ramp ( winching like ) and smoothly came out

I still have the front stock one ( rear replaced as are weaker yes ) … but as mentioned above it’s how recovery is executed best and the importance of sand clearing is extremely vital to the success. Unfortunately with the “best “ recovery points still when not done properly we see disasters

Ano . Studuval v 🇨🇿 , mluvim truku 😅

Souhlasim 100%

You have done more than great . Inshallah will plan a repeat to this in the day light with little modification . And by the way your car doesn’t need modifications . I drive stock ( no major mods ) since day one in carnity till yesterday 😅 Thank you Mike for your kind words and yes SAFETY is all what is it about at all level scales .🙏

Trip report “Sometimes winds come opposite to the ship desire “ .. the nearest English translation to what we say it in my mother tongue ! Running late for about 10 min ( apology for that ) I have arrived to the meeting point seeing everyone one set and ready. After checking and briefing we moved cracking the darkness and after few kilometers we encountered our first nasty stuck situation which was mine which ended eventually with a perfectly and smoothly executed by rope recovery that felt like winching more than a tug done by @Ahmad Nerat well done to all hands who helped shoveling and preparing. It seems my stuck triggered the winds pushing against our sails back and forth within the nastiest technical patch in Faqa area ! A series of refusals and crests Followed and one pop out lastly before our time was calling for exit. Apart from time slipping ,Safety is a red line and can’t be breached at all cost which made me to negotiate within its boundaries . @Mike M. I believe you did very well as second lead thanks for being vigilant and spot on with the communication. @Misha Puskar first night drive and first Fb in Such terrain , Maam 🎩 off . Hardly any issue very well done 👍. Same goes for @Parliament and @george charbelvery well done 👍. @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke you gave us all opportunity of how to deal with the pop out 😉🙏 . @Jad Moussalli I liked the stock back recovery points of the defender we learn every day something new .very well done . @Jaro Tuzinsky pleasure seeing you again probably next time with your new desert toy ( FjC 🤫😄) . @Bashar Besha nice to see you for the second time thanks for coming bro and for the help . @Hugo although I am not a fan of suspension modification but the one you have it makes the FJC to crave for more 😅 I hope you have enjoyed the drive . @Ishak apart from the usual don’t think you had any major issue thanks for coming bro . @Gary F I liked the sand runner , long vehicle which needs at time a bit of enough push over the crests . You did well in the night drive .👍last but not least @Ahmad Nerat honestly you were the key propelling our ship against the winds for the whole night . Very well done and thank you so much . all and all very challenging Drive in the dark in a very challenging terrain and despite our struggles we all got out safely on shore . You were the Fewbie desert knights take care cheers
