  1. Also would be nice to note. Be careful of fire ants, centipedes, spiders specifically the camel spider (their venom doesn’t do anything to us but will leave a nasty infection) I found a website which actually has which explains the wilderness of the UAE (plants, animals and insects. The mentioned instructs can be found there and explained in more detail) https://www.ddcr.org/en/index.aspx @Gregory I think your son would enjoy reading on this website.
  2. @Foxtrot Oscar Great drive, I always do enjoy large swooping dunes. I had fun being sweep as always. As a note to everyone please call in if you have a refusal/stuck even if it will take a couple of minutes to solve let the lead and the support team know what is going on so there isn't any confusion as to what is happening. Other than that great drive everyone and good job! Great job @Arman and @Alexander Alcala We did from start (meeting point) to end (inflating point) 46.08Km Moving time was 3 hours and 7 minutes Stopped time was 1 hour and 44 minutes. The total drive was 4 hours and 52 minutes.
  3. Great drive @Foxtrot Oscar i really enjoyed it. Good job @Arman as always . Thank you @Alexander Alcala great job! @Islam Solimanhope my help made your job easier at the back. @Jack Thomas great driving with you again dude! See you all soon Inshallah
  4. @Ivan Pironi you can get brackets made that are installed under the hood, a lot of off-road garages make them. Im not sure about magnetic mounts as @Frederic mentioned I've never used them. (ill send a video when I get home of how it was installed on my car)
  5. Great drive, thank you @Wrangeld I do enjoy drives that allow me to take a break from all the fast thinking and fast reactions of IM. I think we did pretty well considering the giant convoy. Thank you @Islam Soliman @Veedooshee For supporting, and my fellow IM drivers for further helping @Arman @Mario Cornejo. See you all in the next one inshallah!
  6. Basically. But it’s what you’re more comfortable with. Doesn’t make a difference if it’s M or 1 and 2
  7. You can do either one it doesn’t matter. Whatever you prefer. I don’t use the M button because it means I have to constantly be shifting gears. I use the 1 and 2 so I stay in D most of the time, (D and on sports mode, try it next you you drive and it’s much different.) I only use the 1st and 2nd gear when I really need to. With the f150 it’s a very powerful car so power isn’t an issue it’s just knowing from where to start giving gas so you can gain momentum.
  8. Hey @Ivan Pironi so f150 has 3 types of traction control, I’ll post a chart explains the 3 types of traction control. 1 press the button and it turns off traction control. 2 hold for 5 seconds turns off ESC 3 hold for 5 seconds while in 4L turns off RSC Now for the engine cutting power is mostly because if you drive on D the car automatically upshifts so you don’t overhead your gearbox, then will again downshift if you are still pressing the gas pedal. (Now you have to make sure you actually pressed the traction control button until you get a message saying ESC disabled. If it says traction control disabled it means it’s not fully disabled) To over come this simply drop your gear into 1st and stay there, since it’s a big car and the higher you want to climb the more difficult it is it will be on the car, unless you have enough momentum before the dune to glide upwards. Further more if you are in sport mode it helps keep the gears lowers if you aren’t bothered driving manual. The f150 owners manual doesn’t say anything about traction control or anything on how to remove it. You can install a kill switch in your car but your warranty will void. However I've never had the problem of losing power (only when I’m in D and doing long climbs or long side slopes. I use my tiptronic when I want to do long climbs and long slopes.) I thought about wanting to add a kill switch but after doing some research I found that I don’t need to. Loss of power isn’t a problem of mine anymore. (Unless I mess up and get lazy and not use my tiptronic 😂) Hope that helped. If we meet up one day on a drive I’ll explain face to face! Have a great day! P.S. If you turn off your car and turn it back on check that traction control is off. Your problem might have also been that your car was off and you switched it off and forgot to check if traction control was off, happened to me 😂
  9. Hello @Wrangeld could you waitlist me for 2nd drive of the weekend plz! Thank you! Love to be of any help I can!
  10. Great drive @Lorenzo Candelpergher and thank you @Ale Vallecchi for supporting, I really enjoyed the view (when I wasn't focused on not getting into tricky situations 🤣) had so much fun and it was different not being able to predict the dunes that were ahead, added another kind of thrill to the drive which I really enjoyed. Didn't mind the churned up sand, I think i did well on handling those. Also sorry @Ale Vallecchi if I had you driving in soup 😅 See you all soon Inshallah!
  11. Good morning. So I may have over slept..... my apologizes for that 😢 won’t happen again. I hope there wasn’t anyone on the waiting list....
  12. Ah awesome. So the goal is to finish 100kms? Not just drive till 9:15 hoping to cover 100kms?
  13. Yes I was surprised to see it and looked into it. Really impressed. You’re welcome @Gaurav I was waiting for an announcement and nothing was announced so I thought I missed it and said might as well say thank you to the people that helped developed this. Also I hope this means we don’t have to mention how many drives we did for a promotion?😂
