Comparing 2T vs 2.5T

@Ahmad Shaker follow this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjdBjlFm3y2Knsk2fbbG76UarlNF2w this is my dash cam dump

I am doing it all in Excel. Yes Gaia seems to be the app of the choice. I used All Trails in the first few drives as well but later moved to Gaia as they are widely used. I imported the info from All Trails to Gaia (gpx files)

Link to my half century stats:

I finished my first fifty (50) drives in July 2021, 9 months after I joined, and in another 9 months I did a further fifty (50) drives. My First Drive was obviously an Absolute Newbie Drive - my 101st drive was also an Absolute Newbie Drive. Important Note: These are my driving statistics and are highly influenced by my bias and my decisions on which drives I choose and are not at all indicative of how the average drive in the club would be. Some more stats: Ale Plans some of the long-distance Drives (other than Liwa): Ale also plans some of the fastest drives - see moving speed: Liwa Drives tend to have the most moving time spent unless one planned by Ale: Some of the drives with least stoppage time- see Ratio (OT70 is the DCT Time) and again Ale's tops the count. Maximum drives at each drive level with another driver:

On the contrary, I’d look out and join the drives you are going. Appreciate all the enthusiasm and positive vibes from you regarding this passion of driving in the desert. 👏 👏

Bestomz 4pcs Air Chuck Heavy Duty... here you go. @Mario Cornejo.

@Wafi Ziadeh @Sayed Bilal & @Mahmoud Torky great drive guys. You quickly understood the nuances of driving in the desert and drove wonderfully. I had much less to do at the back today. Hope to drive with you soon. @Chaitanya D thanks for the drive today.

Got a work around for pumping up at the gas station. I have bought air chucks off the Amazon and when I put them on I am able to use the petrol pump air stations to air up the car.

I have a AOR jack but it is too small for most cars and find it difficult to lift cars where I have to put the jack deep under the car because the handle does not have much space to lift the car. It is however quite compact and fits perfectly behind the front row seats in the foot well and thus easy to tuck it there without any need for more securing. Won’t recommend other than for light and stock suspension cars. Ordered a Performance Tools 2.5 Ton lift today.

It was my first drive with @Brette since 20 Nov 2020. When we were reaching the meeting point, it was clear but soon a layer of fog descend. We started the drive but as the conditions soon become not so conducive for safe driving we took a halt for sometime till the fog lifted, soon we had our first pop out of the day. After we reached near the pink rock we moved towards big red. While initially all was smooth just before the exit we found ourselves with 3 back to back pop outs and a stuck. Luckily the temperatures were still bearable and thanks to @Brette all pop outs were fixed and we exited. Overall a nice experience for all involved in both driving as well as in for recovery. All in all everyone drove quite well and hopefully enjoyed the drive as well. I can say I did. @Krishna R you need to get rid of those HT tires and have some ATs on your car. They are really pulling you back due to lack of traction, and hence the refusals. Suggest you go for 1-2 more newbie drives to get acquainted with the new shoes on your ride. @TT_Dubai you were excellent as the second lead, thanks a lot. Finally a big thanks to @Brette for a great drive today and hopefully many more to come in the future with you.

Congratulations @Vishal Nairwell done

Congratulations @salah2u 👏 well done.

@Ahmad Shaker I have all most all of 19th and few min of 20th Dash-cam footage. It will be 62.79 GB on disk for 541 items. How do you want me share it to you - I can put it on a One Drive and share the link if it is okay ?
