@Frederic thanks for response. Photos would have been right to do, but did not cross my mind. I brought it back to Toyota for them to inspect, and they checked the throttle body, there are no sand deposits in there. They are confident that if sand entered the engine there would be some accumulation in there so they say do not worry. I did see sand in the intake pipe after the 1 hour drive home, but it is really impossible to know exactly how much went through. Also, I did not see them open it up myself so I’m trusting that they won’t clean it up first to cover for themselves 😅 @Frederic yes stock box

Hi everyone, unfortunately I am going to have to drop out of this drive. After a long session today, I noticed one clip on the air box was not back clipped on after the regular service that was done yesterday. It seems that a lot of sand might have been sucked into the engine as I can see sand above the filter, as well as in pipe leading to engine. I will be taking back to service centre first thing tomorrow to asses. have a great drive, see you on the next one 🙏

Hi everyone, After a long fast-paced offroading session today with lots of cresting, I noticed one clip on the air box was not clipped back on. This was not clipped back after the regular service that was done yesterday. The air box had a lot of sand inside (under the filter but also some Above) and I can also see some sand in the pipe leading to the engine (this is after a 1 hour drive back home). I am worried about damage caused to the engine because of excessive sand getting in. I will be taking it to back to the service centre tomorrow either way, but just wanted to see community thoughts. Anyone have any advice/thoughts on how serious this is?

Hey @Frederic I have just joined the drive, can you please add me to the convoy? Looking forward to a great drive!

@Davie ChaseAhhh nice, got worried for a sec 😅 Looking forward to the drive

Hey @Davie Chase tomorrow's drive or Sunday's drive?

Hi guys sorry running 5 minutes late

Thank you @Gaurav for the promotion, looking forward to more drives with carnity!

@Brette Cheers for the information, I will look into installing a kill switch soon. Also I was completely unaware I should take out the airbag fuse, thanks for that. @Alex Sidorov I am not worried about taking my car out on Newbie and Fewbie drives. Taking into consideration that the marshal and all the other cars infront of me are taking the same route it is unlikely that the path being taken will do any serious damage if any to the car. Especially in Newbie drives where the drive is usually relaxing and not very challenging. However, I would be careful taking my car out without professionals if you do not at least have a skid-plate, I was driving in the desert with friends recently and broke my radiator completely and needed to replace it. I have 0 modifications on my car.

I hear there are some other grand Cherokee drivers in this group and was wondering if anyone had similar experiences? I drive 2016 Grand Cherokee and the terrain system in the car often cuts power to either my engine or the front axel at weird times. I haven’t found a way to completely turn off all the tech in the car. @Emmanuel Hello, You were telling me a marshal who also drove a Cherokee could you @ him maybe so he see’s this I’m curious to see his input. thanks so much
