Great drive yesterday - appreciate that @Mehmet Volga
Thanks to @Dodi Syahdar @marksand @Werno for the general support, and assistance with my (first) pop-out, which was promptly sorted so the convoy could get moving again.
Until the next time..

Looking forward to the drive @Mehmet Volga. We ended last weeks' Fewbie plus drive at the same meeting/starting point as your drive - the area we used to cross coming from the tar road, to get onto the track (crossing the cycle track) has turned into a large swamp with all the rain over the last weeks! We basically re- inflated right next to (parallel to) the cycle track, after looping on a side track. Just FYI as I wouldn't have known if I wasn't there on Saturday. 👍

Thanks @M.Seidam for the enjoyable drive today..... Great weather and company for the drive, with varied terrain and sand conditions. I must say my favourite part was after crossing (the road) into Al Qudra - where the sand was drier and the pace quicker. By the way, congrats on managing to negotiate the Al Qudra dunes/terrain in your 2-wheel drive Xterra 🤣😂 Imagine what you could do if you used the 4-wheel drive option.
Some pics in the gallery.
Looking forward to the next one! 👍

@Lorenzo Candelpergher sad to hear but wish you the best in your new chapter. I always appreciated your clear, precise and specific communication. Great explanations and efficient well-run drives... Little did I know that last weekend would be the final drive, with me as your second lead! You'll be missed. Go well!

@Jeepie always sad to see the loss of an asset. I recall your sensible and calm approach, adding a level-headed element to the drives.... A powerful heart-felt post from @Wrangeld . Well done for having the courage to follow your heart - not everyone manages that. We hope to see you in a different capacity, possibly as a passenger next to Richard, in the future! Go well.

@Frederic sounds like a great drive and day out! Unable to join unfortunately as will be at work. Please consider repeating this drive next month - as much as I love the desert driving, it would be good for the family to be included and see some varied terrain! 👍

@Shaaz Sha thanks for another good drive yesterday - quite different from our previous ones in area 53. My wife was happy with her decision to come along, and most importantly (for her and me 😬) didn't get too much sand in her hair. Hope you have managed to sort your compressor cable - luckily nothing worse than that! Thanks too to @Matt.T and @Thomas Varghese for support (and pictures @Thomas Varghese!)
Wish everyone a good week.

@Wrangeld @Frederic @Warren Flay @Srikumar thanks gents for the valuable advice and comments. Definitely don't want to spoil the engine/make expensive changes, so will live with it (as @Srikumar succinctly put it), and at the same time will need to up my game skill-wise. 👍👍
Always appreciate the quality of advice in the group....

So, on our (fantastic!) Fewbie + drive with @Shaaz Sha yesterday, I was not able to scale one of the high dunes in Sharjah's area 53 - due to this upshift/rev limiter issue.... I have a Pajero 2011, 3.8 LWB. I tried several times (using "D" in addition to tiptronic, which I rarely do), but was unable (hasn't happened before) to get that last 10% I needed to scale and cross the dune- very frustrating!
I see this has been raised previously..... and the topic started/continued not surprising by @Frederic!
After going through the posts I suppose my questions would be:
1. Has anyone installed the "Unichip ECU" option - what level of success has been achieved? What was the approximate cost?
2. Any other advice/suggestions/comments, especially from Pajero 2007 - 2011 owners with the same restriction, that others may have of scaling the dunes - apart from the general principle of getting/maintaining enough momentum. I know so many have much more experience than I do.
I'm thinking of future drive levels for example, and want to find a balanced solution at this stage. The "Omani" hack doesn't seem to be very appealing!
Tagging in those I can remember 😂 have Pajeros, even of a different generation to mine but open to any advice from anyone... @Gaurav @Frederic @GauravSoni @Wrangeld @Anish S @Vanessa8580 @Mehmet Volga @Yousef Alimadadi @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Adhir Saxena @Danish Mohammad @Warren Flay @Tamas Hoffmann @andy_macdxb @Michael sammy
Thanks 🙏

@Shaaz Sha 3 drives in 3 weeks has been great! Thanks for another good one today - beautiful and challenging terrain in area 53.... thanks @Matt.T and @Chinthaka Ruwan for keeping us all together. Great to see familiar faces..
Appreciate everyone's patience towards the end when I didn't make that dune, and my subsequent try's - a bit disconcerting for me, as hasn't happened before - even though I know my rev limiter issue. Must now find some ways around the problem, and move forward.
Have a good week everyone 👍

A great drive @M.Seidam together with @Tareck and @munkybizness - something of everything, day and night. Thanks for the chance of a weekday afternoon drive! Let's do more of those. 👍
Will post some pics in the gallery.

@M.Seidam looking forward for today's drive, I have a question as all of us are FB+ can we change the drive from Fewbie to Fewbie+ level as it can be counted for us?
I was thinking exactly the same..

@M.Seidam sounds like a good plan! Looking forward to the drive with yourself, @Tareck and @munkybizness - possibly the shortest (for me at least) convoy ever!

Another excellent drive, with good company and stunning, crisp weather.
What else could one want??? Ah, I know.... a long barbeque (possibly "joined" by the local wildlife) to finish off the drive with 🤣😂 I live in hope....
Thanks @M.Seidam - and @Ashok chaturvedi, @Pacific and @Rizwanm2 for the support!
Have a good week everyone.
