@JeromeFJ I am terribly sorry, I completely overlooked and thought it was going to happen on Sunday. Apologies and glad to see you guys had such a great drive. Sorry again and see you next time.

Got it. Thanks a lot

Waitlist please. First drive.

Confirmed!

That’s great. Thanks for the clarification.

@Ale Vallecchi can you confirm if the planned finish time is 10.30AM? Just got confused by the even info saying differently than the post “10:30 PM (first half break expected around 11:30/Noon, lasting about 2 hours, for lunch, refueling, etc.).”

Thanks, read it

It was a great drive and an excellent crew. Thanks @Wrangeldfor leading, we may have not accomplished what you wanted to but still it was a smooth and very enjoyable one. Great you shared your tyre experience. Some folks from the convoy know that I went through a tyre misery recently I needed to change my old BF A/T tyres - they were hug, heavy and very old, couldn't pass the registration with those. I went for the golden standard Yokohama G015 A/T . I also had issues with my rim size, it was just too wide for that tyre size. Stretching the tyre to a point where deflation didn't really get reflected in the shape. After spending an arm and a leg to fix all these, our drive was a game changer experience for me.Exactly as mentioned above, I first time felt great control over my car. All the technical dunes, climbs I sorted out in the past with using brute-force and horsepower which I could manage fine. However now it felt more like walk in the park. (In some cases I got even too confident that the Jeep will climb with a slight touch on the gas pedal - that's where @Christopher Assal you saw my recovery). Long story short - don't run to change your tires but unbelievable how much different it makes when you select the right size, type, pressure, etc

Thanks everyone for the patience and the support. I’ll fix my tires- this one felt more like an ice skating session 😂

My plans changed for the weekend - left the event, so next in line on the waitlist please have fun instead of me

Hi @Luca Palanca Falsini - I'm really sorry I completely overlooked the fact that this is Friday and not Saturday what I thought it was going to be... At least I didn't take anyone's spot. Hope you guys are having great fun. Apologies again.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and especially for all the support to get here.

At this time I won’t make it. Updated my RSVP. Have fun all!

Thansk a million, I got too excited and picked the wrong one. I manaed to sign up for that one, thank you very much

Waitlist please :) First & only drive

Hey @Wrangeld I have a rated snatch strap and a hydraulic jack too.

Thanks @Foxtrot Oscar - at the end I made other plans for Friday, so you can remove me from the waitlist. Enjoy the ride and see you on the next one!

Waiting list please 😊

Thank you very much for the encouraging words from everyone. I really appreciate all the support. and can't wait to learn more.

Wow! News of the day. I confirm, I am all in. Many thanks for the opportunity.

Waiting list please 😊

Hi Lukas, There is an excellent write up about the radios: I just got the Baofeng UV5-R: at Dragon Mart, 70-80 Dirhams after bargain.

Hi All, I'm glad to join the club. I'm Archie from Hungary. No prior offfroading experience. My vehicle is a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ manual. Ground clearance and towpoints should be alright. Looking forward to the ride on Friday morning!
