Hi @Umar Kamal the fender lining can be replaced as that is fabric. Regarding the underbody, you would need to get a skid plate 6 or 8 mm thick. Also, depending on which variant of the JGC you have, you can remove the lower fascia, front and back to give you a bit more approach and departure angle. 

We do have quite a few JGC joining now so would also appreciate if you can start a new thread with your queries so others can also chip in and we have 1 thread as a reference for all JGC owners. 

THe 2 pics below are of the front and back without the lower fascia and the skid plate. 

@Brette how is your alignment after the last act of our adventurous and dramatic escapade yesterday?  Also if your friend agrees to 150 rate for balancing + alignment please share his details, im sure he can count on regular support from the community if the workshop is not too far.

Yesterday was a lot of fun - I'm working out every day yet haven't got such sore muscles for weeks which proves shovelling at various angles is a great full body workout guys 😂

@Piotr Kolodziej you have signed up for this drive and the Liwa drive. Both are on the same day and 350 km apart. Please remove your RSVP from either one or the trip leads may end up removing you and you could loose your spot on both. 

Hi @Brette tried yesterday but could locate leave button under Liwa - will have a look again.

Dear Piotr,  I can sense your urgency to get to next level but it is based on a combined feedback from seniors regarding everything and not just based on drive numbers.

We at Carnity and myself as a lead arrange drives with particular levels so that all of them match for a smooth drive experience (as far as possible) , learning from each other. 

I am sad we will miss your company,  but to be fair for everyone I have to say you will be eligible only when you are intermediate level for this drive.

Cheers buddy

Thanks @Chaitanya D but it's not about the level but simply the date - I just can't join you on Monday and could only do Tuesday- i don't mind if it's f+ or int.  Anyway, hope you have a fun drive and maybe see you in 2021   Cheers

@Piotr Kolodziej, this drive is for intermediate and above. Please sign out as you are not eligible for this drive as per your drive level . Thanks 

Hi @Chaitanya D I can't do on 14th unfortunately but missing only 1 of 10 f/f+ drives so if there'll be still place for this drive closer to the date let me know, will be great to see you.  Otherwise maybe next year.  Best, P.

No problem @asifk, see you next time. 

@Heisem now you are added to the drive. 

@sertac what's the final line up for tomorrow?  Great to know if I should head to bed early or not

Hi @sertac, could you please add me to the WL?

This will be first/only drive (not a second one)

Hi @sertac, could you please add me to the WL?

I understand @Piotr Kolodziej. But please I request you to sing up for one as there as to be equal opportunity for all to be on drives. We are trying our best to make sure as many get on drives, and as many of the seniors/members are off to Liwa we don't have enough people to post drives. Appreciate your understanding 

Totally understand - see you on Saturday!

@Piotr Kolodziej and @Nizam Deen, I am not sure if you are already aware so informing you. 

Please get your wheels with pop out cleaned properly to remove all sand and balanced again. This will prevent the vibrations which can occur otherwise while driving at high speed. Thanks

Felt like a shaman trying to explain using sand in my hands and a graphic sign language what happened and what needs to be done at several local tire shops where we left the desert when Google failed miserably and hilariously with Farsi and Arabic translations 😂

@Piotr Kolodziej you have signed up for two drives which is allowed only from Wednesday. Please sign out of one and waitlist in the one which you want to join as second drive

Done!

@Piotr Kolodziej you have signed up for two drives which is allowed only after wednesday. Please sign out of one and waitlist in the one which you want to join as second drive

Ill attend this one then (fewbie plus).  Thought the other drive was actually on Wednesday so it wouldn't make sense to wait till wedneday with a confirmation but let me double check an sign out from that one.  Best, P

Sounds awesome @Chaitanya D!  Any chance you could put Jorge and me together in the convoy order for the drive?

Amazing guys - we have such an exclusive and nimble convoy that im sure it's going to be an exceptionally fast paced and dynamic afternoon drive that will put intermediate and advanced groups to shame! 😊

@Frederic, please kindly add me to the waiting list.  Many thanks!

1 minute ago, Chaitanya D said:

@Piotr Kolodziej as you have a confirmed RSVP,  others in waitlist get preference. 

From Wednesday you can have multiple RSVP.

As of now I am afraid @Janarthan will get preference and you will continue to be waitlist. I will try my best to fit in as many waitlist as possible by Thursday,  please hold till then. Thanks for understanding,  the only intention being to get as many confirmed RSVP with all members getting to drive.

Thank you - will wait then - hopefully see you on Friday!

@Chaitanya D, if you can add me to this drive I'll leave the other drive - please let me know.

Would be great as we were thinking with Kailas to stay after the drive and bash a few more dunes (if anyone else would have time, most welcome to join!)

1 minute ago, Chaitanya D said:

@Piotr Kolodziej please let me know if this is your first RSVP request ? Or you already have a confirmed RSVP on another drive ?

@Chaitanya D, if you can add me to this drive I'll leave the other drive - please let me know.

Hi @Chaitanya D, please kindly add me to the WL as the second drive for this Friday.  Many thanks!

Congratulations @Kailas, that was fast !! 👍🏾💪👏

@Kailas and @Piotr Kolodziej I have added you to the drive.

Can you please confirm if you are going to join ?

Thank you @Vanessa8580, so understand we're with @Heisem in one group now? @Tbone ill edit rsvp to make a place for the next person on waitlist and look forward to drive together hopefully very soon!

16 minutes ago, Vanessa8580 said:

Yes, @Piotr Kolodziej is in the waitlist. Tomorrow we will review the convoys to see where we can add the people from the waitlist. 

On Thursday, Marjan and I will split the convoy in two and will notify who is in which drive. 

 

Dear @Vanessa8580 and @Tbone, both @Heisem and i are already confirmed on your respective morning drives so if we can be put together (one way or another) it would be fantastic!  If not, not a problem, we'll just drive separately. 

2 hours ago, Heisem said:

Are the 2 groups randomly split or we have to pick who to drive with? 

@Heisem are you 100% sure you'll drive in the morning?  I think I managed to RSVP on the other morning drive but maybe we can swap around (one way or another) and fibally join our FJ forces in the morning since Emmanuel now kicked me out of the evening drive (looks like I'm still missing a couple of fewbies) 😊

@Heisem are you 100% sure you'll drive in the morning?  I think I managed to RSVP on the other morning drive but maybe we can swap around (one way or another) and finally join our FJ forces in the morning since Emmanuel now kicked me out of the evening drive (looks like I'm still missing a couple of fewbies) 😊

@Piotr Kolodziej please read the drive post details and this post :

 

Makes sense - see you in a couple of weeks then and have fun this weekend!

@Piotr Kolodziej sorry I had to remove your name of the list as this is a fewbie plus drive. Happy to meet you another time. 
@Islam Soliman I added you. Most welcome. Can you confirm?

@Tamas Hoffmann you’re next on waitlist. 

Sure, can you at least add me to the waitlist as a second drive in case someone drops?  I did a couple of fewbie drives already.  Thanks.
