Hi @JeromeFJ , I removed myself because something have changed, now is back to normal, if you can squeeze me somewhere would be great , thank you

Anybody for night camp before the drive?

No worries @Varun Mehndiratta , you guys enjoy for the rest of us 😉

If we end up with 9 waitlisted, we can make another convoy , just saying 😬 And I am interested in camping overnight 👍

Sorry @JeromeFJ , I have to drop this drive, rain created me some troubles at home, you guys enjoy from my side too Safe driving

Thank you thank you thank you everybody for being part of this great trip, special thanks for @Kailas for signing up for this challenging area , I consider it was a succesfull trip as everybody returned safe with cars in one piece. Also a good part was that there were no cellular connections so everybody got a little brake from their phones 😄 and enjoyed the nature closer. Thank you @Lawrence_Chehimi and the rest of the team for extra support, thank you @Gertjan for taking extra time to take pictures for all of us. Hope everybody enjoyed , I will upload couple of pictures and videos later, cause now it doesnt go through on google drive. Now back to work 😔

I will go to FB plus, but if its full, you gotta take me back 😜 In the last 2-3 months , the only IM drives I was available are the last week with a restriction of a minimum 3 or 4 IM drives and this one . Life is unfair 😄 However, I still did couple of fewbie plus drives with 70% of IM drivers, I think I should be ok, but I am ok with F+ too, as long they will take me 😉

I try to put in 1st gear from 3k to 2k rpm, and none work, which will give me from 3-4k rpm in 1st gear to keep the momentum on a steep hill

Hi everyone, how do you manage to downshift from 2nd to 1st gear during a climb to preserve the momentum? Whenever I climb a hill in 2nd gear and trying to downshift to 1st gear, it wont shift until the car slowed down or almost stoped 😆 Dont remember exact rpm when I tried to dowshift, but it was arround between 3k-2k rpm according to sound Looking couriously forward to any solving 😉

Meeting point related, is Dubai Hatta road taking exit of Nazwa? As I havent seen any Lahbab road intersection with Nazwa Thanks

Congrats @Davie Chase looking forward to on your drive !!!

Congratsss snd well done !!!

Great news, congratsss , well deserved

For me lift kit was more about protection, so I got budget TJM ,which is stiff on road and little bouncy in sand due to heavy dutie springs which are more mean for heavy loaded vehicles then lighter once. In term of performance ,dont think it made a diffrence , maybe @Gaurav Sonimight tell you more, he has got a good performance suspension.

Just to confirm, does the location close to the Al Ain airport?

Intermediate requires of a minimum 2 drives 😎

Sure, will remove myself, by the time I had to reach reading that info, would have been to late to join to this drive 😆

Thank you everybody for great drive, it was amazingly how everything was handled : big convoy, refusals, pop ups, return to exit etc , it was a truly mad max experience. Thank you @Rob S @Waqas Parvez for extra support and the rest of the team for help and positivity 😊 .Thank you @Hisham Masaad for providing us a great area and enjoyfull tracks, being SL on your drives It feels as always ,very personal 😂 , which kept me alerted and more learning experience. See you everybody again🤜🏻

Joyning of course ))

Thank you,looking forward on IM drive with all of you 👍

I am in @Ale Vallecchi

@Ale Vallecchi Great solution, sharing is caring!!! I am IN

Amazing drive, great crew,lots of challenges and massive learning.Thank you @Hisham Masaad for this drive, giving us chance to try harder and improve, for taking me today for this drive. Thank you @Rob S for helping through the radio and shovelling along with others. @Hisham Masaad's checklist before drive; 1.Make everyone enjoyable drive 2.Find place for 2nd lead to get stuck and exhaust him completely 🤣 (Just kidding) Happy Eid
