Cha

It is my first time being round Suwaydan and Faya after nearly 20 drives with Carnity, Thank you @Frederic .

I never expected this much of trees and scenery in a desert, and I had the luxury to enjoy it as it was a newbie drive.

Good to know that my v6 powered 2.2 ton pathfinder is able to climb that hill in Faya, and still has some spare power left, Fewbie drives in Faya area definitely will be interesting.

Felt covered already when I saw @Hisham Masaad @Ranjan Das @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ in the support team!

The newbies in second half of the convoy indeed did a great job, I believe they are all ready for more challenages in fewbie level😁,

see you soon！

Smaller convey is always fun.

Thank you @Jeepie for the selection of terrain, it was an good opportunity for me to improve the momentum control in faster pace technical areas.

Driving on the north side of the big red was indeed enjoyable, could have pushed for more fun if the transmission overheating didnt happen.

I think @Hisham Masaad should open up a "Hill Climbing Master Class", it is now not surprising anymore that the black FJ alway reaches the highest point of hills.🙃

Always feel good to have @Ranjan Das and @Hisham Masaad in the support team and thank you @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil for being a wonderful SL.

Driving with familiar faces relaxes me, good to see you all again and wishing for more to come @Sunil Mathew @darren thompson @Chris Wing

Till next time~

Congrats Danish

Congrats Ranjan!

@Frederic Hi Fred, I see there is a open spot and no WL, so I added myself in, hope its ok?

@Enrico Biscaro I am only nearly 2 months old in the club, but I think the car's cooling ability should also be considered, especially in this hot hot summer.

I drive pathfinder and in the current summer I do not use AC for either morning nor afternoon drives, because the coolant temp. will reach 100C if I do so. And I have seen similar heating complaints from other Xterra drivers (pathfinder and xterra are twin brothers).

Similarly I have also observed few Wranglers faced heating issue that the ECU limits the Rev

But not yet any Toyota (mainly FJs I have driven with) driver complained about car geting overheated that AC must be compromised.

Xterra FJ and Wranglers are all power offroaders, and I have seen Marshals doing miracles with them, the above is only my opinion and I personally like Toyota a alot, altho I drive Nissan🙃

@Anish S please WL me for second weekend drive, in case there are some massive drop out 😜

Hi @Vanessa8580, please WL me, 2nd drive

What do you guys think about pedal commander? Is that something useful for the y62? 

I was using a pedal commander for my Pathfinder for considerable amount of time.

It does give you the kick in response of the throttle, and I could almost fully control the gears by manipulating the throttle pedal that I didn't have to use the shifter knob. And you can easily switch the throttle responses from aggressive weekend offroad to comfort SZR cruising.

TBH I like it, I only stopped using it as I might still have throttle control body issue and I don't want the petal commander to create more possible issues with the throttle.

Congrats Chris!

congrats Chinthaka!

Congrats Naveen

Congrats Josh

Congrats Lakshmi!

Happy birthday Ale!

Thank you @Anish S for this fabulous drive in the morning, love the bowls and the plays, great selection on the terrain and the pace.

I see how much fun I have missed last time🙃

Always good to have@Hisham Masaad @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Ranjan Das in the convoy, today's flawless support team, big thanks to you all!

Zed always mentioned to me about dragon mart deals …… may be we can meet up in this AD drive and get some first hand Chinese dragon mart friendship deals 😜……. 

Hi @Mus_hus78, Im sorry I dont get you, you want me to buy something from DM for you?

Alex do your first drive and you will understand.

Absolutely nothing and no one ever wakes me up in Friday morning, and I have been taking morning drives since I joined.

Congrats Paolo,!

Congrats Charbel, see you on Friday!

Congrats Zed, see you soon in AD !

Hi Anish please WL me for second drive in the weekend 

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscarfor the drive today, I miss the slopes so much! trust me I have not done this much of side sloping since the last drive with you.

I think everyone drove very well today, only very few refusals/stucks, and they were all self recovered under the instruction from senior members, and the drive was really chilling, thank you @Kailas @Melenany

BTW I have take 100+ of pictures and videos that my phone got overheated (not my car🙃), will do the upload tomorrow to the gallery
