Looper

My advice is for Jeep wrangler JL is for every 5k change oil, oil filter and air filter at your personal service Center and every 10k take it to authorised service Center who will do the normal service as per Jeep recommendation.

Whatever you buy - get a good quality product. I had bought one from Amazon and it lasted for 5-6 lifts. Now it lies in some dumpster. I have since bought a Yato 2 ton jack from Speedex which comes in a plastic box and it is also as large as other 2.5 ton jack. it’s still in the plastic box with un-torne original wrapping. Let’s see how long it lasts like that.

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for this wonderful drive. Glad that I joined as I could experience some new areas plus rekindle my memories of Faqa’a as I could visit the larger dunes in Faqa’a that I haven’t been in years now, it reminded me of the earliest days of me driving in the desert when Faqa’a was a regular IM driving area. the rest of the convoy drove so well that the drive stopped being a Fewbie soon after we crossed into the little Sweihan. Fantastic support from @DP1011 and @Chris Wing and special thanks to @Pavel Pashkovskiy for midway snacks to which I want to get used to, as it rejuvenated all of us and could continue to focus on the drive. @george charbel you did a great job in second lead and once again congratulations on your FB+ promotion.

For me, it was the most satisfying drive to date. Everything that I ever wanted in a drive and to do in it I was able to do. Fast ✅, Non-Stop ✅, Excellent Support ✅, Great Convoy ✅ - couldn't have asked for more. It was a fabulous convoy and you guys did great. Everything I was doing; the long convoy was doing without any qualms about it. There was Plan B to split the convoy, in case we face a lot of refusals, but the first true stoppage came when I had a pop out, and there were no other refusals at all and that shows the strength of the conv. It did not occur to me till we rached the foothills of Big Red (last leg of the drive) to even check if the speed was okay. And I am quite sure by then the average moving speed would have been in the low 40s at least. The cherry on the cake was the flower we could make on the Big Red that too nonstop - how many times you see that! Thank you everyone to join this drive. Special thanks to @DP1011 for an excellent job at 2nd lead. In this drive, due to the pace of the drive, it was a critical role, and you did great. Thanks you @Varun Mehndiratta for accepting to take up the Plan B Split convoy if necessary that gave a lot of courage to me to even attempt this drive and @Davie Chase for the dual role of Sweep and for opening the Nazwa Garage in the middle of the desert! Also big thanks to @Chris Wing our designated Center Forward and standby Sweep. See you all in the next instalment of Looper's loops.
