Thanks @marks and @Jeepie fort the L and SL. I enjoyed the drive very much. @Russ very well done in the CF position and on your first rope recovery ! 

@Tareck @Ben84@darren thompson @Zixuan Huang@Hardik Mody@Sunil Mathew@Warren Flay well done everyone and see you soon on the sand. 

@Tareck well done on your first Fewbie drive.

@Hardik Mody it was tough at the back with the churned up tracks but you were improving with every try. Keep at it and don't forget to announce it on the radio when you have a refusal or re-attempting so the lead can slow down/stop and you don't lose the track. 

 

Thank you @Nabil Bishara it was a great drive and got the opportunity to learn some new things from you guys!! thanks again for the continuous support

Adding electric fans in front of your radiator will definitely help. Usually what they tend to do here is adding two high flow/speed fans in which you can operate them using a switch. they make a huge difference especially to your AC cooling. They might be a bit noisy when turned on but you don't have to worry about the engine overheating. I've read that SPAL fans are one of the best.

Hi @Lawrence_Chehimi have you installed the additional electric fans on your Y62? if yes, please share the details and where i can get this done, thank you

Hi @Vanessa8580 I won't be able to join the drive tomorrow as I had to send my car for maintenance today and it won't be ready before Saturday. Hopefully next time will join.

Thank you

@Hisham Masaad there's a problem with the coolant tank it's cracked apparently and it needs to be replaced. That's why during last week the engine overheated!

Hi @Vanessa8580 I won't be able to join the drive tomorrow as I had to send my car for maintenance today and it won't be ready before Saturday. Hopefully next time will join.

Thank you

@Brette thank you for the the pleasant drive yesterday and for the tips and information you gave me

Thanks Guys for the explanation.

When my insurance is due for renewal, I'll make sure  I get a clear quote and go with a reputable insurance company.

Hi @Lawrence_Chehimi I just checked with RSA insurance for the same, the policy should mention "Off Road Cover = YES" and the photo shows what's covered in the off road, but this is an addition to the regular policy, you need to ask for it.

Also in case your renewal is not anytime soon, you should be able to upgrade the policy coverage at an additional fee of course 

Hi @Nivin can you please share the photos of the flying patrol 😂

Hello, i previously went couple of times on a drive desert in my car and yes i have all the required accessories:)

Looking forward 

Hi guys, I will be joining you as well, I had a couple of drives previously in the desert with some friends, got stuck as well and recovered. But still so much to learn from you

I have a Nissan Patrol Y62 and is well equipped with the required accessories, I will also go through the introductory videos.

Just now, Frederic said:

Hi @Tareck yes this pintle hook is a perfect and adequate recovery point.

OK thank you, Frederic!

The reason I am asking is that I see many Nissan Patrol owners who changes this recovery point and I never knew the reason. I thought it's only to hook trailers and not for recovery

The Nissan Patrol Y62 comes equipped with a rear trailer hook, can this serve as a recovery point?

If not is there another rear recovery point in Nissan Patrol, or it must be replaced? And what is recommended to be replaced with (brand, type, load, etc.)
