@RamandbxThe easiest way i believe is to remove the J6 fuse from the control box, and there is a removal tool available in the box. This is what I do now a days. also you could long press the traction disable button on the dash for 5-10 seconds which I believe will disable 70% of the traction. But in this case, if you restart the car for any reason you may need re-disable this again which could be a hassle.

@Janarthansorry i have to pull out from this drive as I am taking some antibiotics and doctor advised not to. I have removed my name from the list. Hoping to catch up with you in the next drive. Thanks

Happy birthday Ale @Ale Vallecchi . Also congrats on hitting the 100th mark in drives..

Thank you @Goutam for the kind words and advise. You are absolutely right about reversing for self recovery, I tend to try the forward first due to the lack of visibility towards the back, but going forward will try to do forward or reverse depending on the incline. the drive was a delight today as we covered all the essential elements such as ridge riding, criss-crossing etc. Thanks @Kailasfor your cool demeaner and patience to show us the ropes. thanks @Darren Brooke for his clear instructions and willingness to come and explain if something goes wrong. Thanks @Gaurav Soni its always a pleasure driving with you and presence of this many seniors in this short convoy has given us a lot of confidence. @Rawad @Ishraque @Luc Khaldoun @Adhir Saxena most of you, we have been together in many drives in recent past and its always a pleasure to have you as company. Hoping to see you soon in the desert...Cheers

I have the same cover for my Jeep and I have been with AXA for more than 15 years now (not for off road), never had an issue to in honouring the claims generally.

Hi @Vanessa8580confirmed. Looking forward to the drive.

@GauravSoniif you have taken the vaccine 28 days prior once you take a pcr you will get a 'e' on you al horn app which will allow you to pass the border for 7 days from the pcr test result- the green will not particularly help you but look for the e on the left had side of the vaccination status on the app. I travel to abu dhabi almost every week. hope it helps and if you need more info pls call/ text me on 050 4500597.

Hi Ale @Ale Vallecchisome urgent work has come up for tomorrow unable to bail out from there, so will not be able to make it for drive tomorrow. I will remove myself and hoping to see you soon on sand.🙄

Hi @Vanessa8580can you pls wait list me - 2nd drive for the weekend

Thanks @Foxtrot Oscar@Vanessa8580@Veedoosheethe drive was real fun with a lot a play areas. I was very hesitant about afternoon drives at first but seems that now developed a liking for it. Thanks to you the convoy really did well especially towards the second half of the drive as everyone gained confidence. Kudos to all... Looking forward to another one soon.

Congrats @Shaaz Shafor the promotion, well deserved..

Thanks @Ale Vallecchifor the report and for all the encouragement and directions given during the drive. It was my first experience riding the ridges which I enjoyed a great deal and has built up some level of confidence towards the end of the drive. Thanks everyone for the commitment and patience shown..

I missed to thank @Veedoosheeinstructing with her cool head

Such a fantastic evening yesterday,Thank you @Anish Sfor the selection of the terrain and leading all the way.. Your self recovery/ exit from the tricky soft patch made my jaws drop ,,,,,Extra spice was added with the bit of rain and sand storm. Drive was flawless at the start but was halted due to the tricky stuck and culprit being me 😬It was a moment of indecision caused the same. thank you all whom jumped out and did the leg work while I was inside the car with a convoluted spine 🙄. I owe you all you all a treat when Covid is over.. Thanks @Gaurav Sonias I made you do extra work, hope fully you don't have another drive to attend on the same day like the last time we were together 🤣. thank you @Marwan Haddad@Sunil Mathew@Ben84 for being there supporting.. I guess this is the Carnity spirit....Last but not least thanks @Alain Canivet-Abikhalilbeing cool and patient as a second lead. I am following you now second time in a row, and see you in 2 weeks buddy. Good day all.

There is a shop in AL Qusais it is readily available, an internet search as mentioned will give you the address and details.

There is an Australian brand Mean Mother available with 5 year warranty for AED 750+ It come with a remote as well. If you search the brand details are available in the net..

thanks @Srikumar@Frederic@Asif Hussainfor all the advise and feed back. Hoping to learn from the mistakes made and come out as a better driver. The incident on the other drive highlights how valuable these advises are, thank you all. On the other hand... WOW.. what a terrain.. awesome desert.. How accurate was @Frederic when he said the travel from dubai will be well worth it....

Congrats @Tareck

Hi @Rory Ashman I felt second will be mostly suited and first can be used if there is only short run up to get out of a bowl etc. for 3rd the issue is mostly it will be below 2500 rpm and to use it for a climb with enough momentum you will need to have a long run up to increase the rpm. Hope it makes sense. I drive a Wrangler too..

Congratulation @Hisham MasaadWell deserved promotion. Looking forward to attend more drives under you.

Thanks @Srikumarfor the clarity on the matter. if this is the case I will go with Yokohama GO15 245/75/16 to avoid any issues.

@SrikumarI believe only Rubicon come with 33inch AT tires and the sport trim I have comes with normal road tires. Its my bad that did not ask enough questions when the workshop said that I will have to do a minimal lift to do fix suitable AT tyres. Now I have gone back to the tyre shop and they have advised us they have 3 options BFH KO2, Cooper AT3 and Yokohama GeolanderO15 are available in 245/75/r16 which is the tyre size I have currently. also they advised that I should be able to fix 265/70/r16 on the same rim without any rubbing issues which might be more suitable on sand due to the width increase. also they are recommending to go with Yokohama GO15 265/70/r16 as Yokohama has less road noise and light weight. Any thoughts on this recommended tyre and will it cause any issue by going from 245 to 265 mm. TIA Anoop
