Brilliant @Yousef Alimadadi well done!!! Looking forward for your leads!!!

@M.Seidam this may not solve the real problem but ease off the stress with a herbal mint tea!!!

I am planning to change / upgrading the suspension with 2inch lift.. the current OEM’s :have taken enough beating and started to leak! Some are suggesting to replace the control arms as well… can anyone guide on what things to look out for? @Gaurav @Frederic @Wrangeld @Srikumar

Congrats @Aisha S well done!

Thanks @Gaurav will surely try next time we drive!

Thanks @Kailas for the beautiful drive! And thanks for the opportunity to support. The magnificent dunes of Sweihan never cease to amaze me! It’s always sheer pleasure to drive on this terrain.. Well planned and well executed by the convoy… @Prakash Anoop tremendous improvement in your driving! It’s amazing to see you coming along to land “far far away” and honing your skills.. extremely well driven @Adnan Halepota @Salim Akhtar @Hitham mohamed @Manoj Soman You guys took on the challenges and responded well with good driving! For me newbie drives is all about understanding how your ride responds to your command and learning to control the throttle and steering! You will get to learn the skills as you spend more time on the dunes… it was pleasure to watch you self recover @Salim Akhtar.. well done! Overheating is an issue for pajero especially on stressful self recovery… getting an additional fan for the transmission cooler may help in those times… I too have to struggle keeping it cool! thanks @Nabeel Abdul Rahmanfor the sweep. I am sure you had fun at the back! Thanks @Thomas Varghesefor the valuable suggestions and assistance in recoveries! until next time!!

@Gaurav@Frederic thanks! It seems we will have to bear with the static!!! Channel 5 is nothing but Zzzzzzzz for my pajero!!!!!

@Frederic it is possible to obtain an amateur radio license through TDRA…do we have anyone in @Carnity with license? Is it worthwhile to obtain one considering we may need to connect to authority in case of Offroad emergency in area with network issue…or phone not working?

Thanks @Carnity for this amazing experience!!!

@WrangeldThis looks like what would be amazing day out in the dunes! I plan to Pack up lunch and dinner and loads of water and I am sure @Alex Raptoris already geared up !!!

@Ale Vallecchi Thank you and congrats for a very well planned drive!. The convoy @Thomas Varghese @Sunil Mathew @Ashok chaturvedi @JeromeFJ, @Looper, @Matt.T, @Arman, @Lawrence_Chehimi, @Ranjan Das @Russ, @marks executed the Masterplan of the professor @Ale Vallecchito near perfection! a well deserved "LRDG" to all! This was indeed one of the longest drives ( in terms of distance) that i had previously driven. and having driven in a lot of the Long range patrol drives, i would say that this was one of the best ones! we all have experienced the skill focused drives like technical challenge, ridge riders, bowls of Area 53 in our journey to the Intermediate level. I believe that the LRDG drives focus on the perfect execution of these skills over and over and over again moving though different areas. so was this drives too easy? - if anyone felt it was, congratulations! you have moved up higher in your skill and in sync with your car. well done!! The drive was full of challenges which i believe did not look like challenge to many as they repeated them time and again in skill focused drives. On a side note: I am looking for a drive which will take us from the beaches on the east coast to the massive dunes of Liwa passing through soft red sand of Mahafiz, Faya , Bowls of sharjah to the long range dunes of lisaili , cutting across the terrain of Sweihan eventually landing at Moreeb! That would be a a perfect " LRDG" Drive with night halts to enjoy the star filled nights like a proper Bedouin lifestyle. I remember the Movie " Hindalgo" and would love to go on a adventure with our modern day " Mustang"!! Well done everyone!! looking forward for the next one!

Brilliant drive! @Lorenzo Candelpergher. amazing planning by you and perfect execution by the entire convoy. As far as i remember, as a newbie i never venturing into the winding bowls of Faya or the long range sidey play areas in Mahafiz. It was a beautiful track with ample of opportunity to learn basics of dune surfing! Thankyou for the planning this drive! As for the convoy, it was very nice to meet the new breed of so called "Newbies". This group amazed me with their driving skills and quick learning! kudos @Manish Kashyap for your Newbie "baptism". you drove well handling the blue beast!. its was a pleasure to meet the trio of @Joji varghese @eldose baby @Rsjiv Samuel well done boys ! i am sure you enjoyed With a small hiccup with your X, @Ferl Brownyou managed very to navigate well! as to your question, Xterra inherently has higher Power to weight ratio than a 3.8 LWB Pajero. You will slowly realize the potential of your car. @Waqar Sarwar it was charm to see you driving effortlessly ahead on me on the convoy following the line to the dot!. @Prakash Anoop we all have that royal stuck moment!. with clear instructions from Lorenzo, you managed to get out if the nasty bowl! well done. the Y62 boys! @Mohammed Mansoor @kiranshinde handled their ride beautifully, As Lornezo mentioned, it will be essential to come at terms with the dynamics of your car and he is one of the best person to advice you ( having driven Y62 for majority of his drives) @Raman_Dbx i am sure you had quite fun at the back and kudos to you and @Rsjiv Samuel for managing through the churned up tracks. Thanks @Rsjiv Samuel for sweeping the convoy with good radio communication. in the end i would like to just point out following three things from my vantage point 1. Have clear radio communication 2. Never overtake a stuck / refusal vehicle 3. maintain sufficient distance to maintain momentum well done boys! I have uploaded some pics of the beautiful Sideys for all! ( ps: i am not a good photographer so pics may not reflect the true nature of the driving skill . I am still learning on each drive!):) until next time!
