Stripped it down to replace the fuse ( they provide 3 spare fuses and behold there's no fuse wired into the unit. What a hunk of junk. I'll replace it with a real jack.

 

No fuse to be seen. Hunk of junk or what. 

Maybe a hunk of junk but works well  when working 

maybe there is a better version of this electric Jack out there 

don’t know much about them and have not researched them either, but would be interested to know

Here's a video of our drive yesterday. Enjoy.

We also had a very special and unique experience on this drive. @Imran Asghar's inagural performance for us in the desert.

 

@Emanuel excellent video mate can’t wait to tell everyone that I know the latest winner of Cannes film festival and the latest harmonica prodigy @Imran Asghar 😄😄

brilliant video 

@Emanuel Love me do by the Beatles 

@Emanuel apologies for that I will remember that in future, never even crossed my mind that there was two of you 

Dear Desert Wanderers @Aser @Prithvi Raj @Hani Howeedy @Shaun J @Abdul Hannan @Rob S @Sandeep Nayar @Abdullah N @Harshal @Simon D

Thank you all for allowing me to take the second convoy I thoroughly enjoyed our drive together on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. we had a bit of everything, start off we had a technical patch to contend with then the dreaded bushes, reared their heads and then some mid range dunes as we entered lisalli, which allowed us to practice sidies. you all drove amazingly well with only a few stucks and refusals

great second lead by @Aser you kept a good distance to allow me time to call out left or right by X car widths or the don't follow command, you executed this with perfection which made the drive a lot smoother so well done and thankyou

Thanks you @Rob S for coming in @center forward always a pleasure to have you support my drives as it relieves a lot of the pressure having someone as calm and knowledgeable in the middle of the convoy, thanks and appreciated.

Our sweep for the day was @Simon D, hope your father enjoyed his day out with us he seemed to have a big smile on his face at the end. Great sweep my friend taking care of the rear of the convoy allowing me to focus on the lead. Appreciated and thank you.

Have a great rest of your weekend one and all.

Dear desert wanders @Patrick van der Loo, @Issam Atra, @Emmanuel, @george charbel, @Bjoern, @Gurcharan Mehta, @W a q a r, @Rafey Hashmi, and @Alphin Aloor first of thank you all for a fantastic drive this morning. everyone drove exceptionally well.

A big thank you to:

My Second Lead @Emmanuel you did a fantastic job if keeping enough distance to adhere to my call of slightly left or right or stop don't follow. so well-done mate was a pleasure to have you behind me.

Our fantastic Sweep @Patrick van der Loo excellent job assisting with a few refusals at the back and helping me where I needed help, thank you and very much appreciated.

Our Center Forward played a blinder as always taking control of the center of the convoy and managing the few stucks we had, as always @Imran Asghar a please to have you along and makes my life easier having you there.

We had one incident that required so work to recover the vehicle, so a special shout out to @Gurcharan Mehta for putting the power of the 392 to good use in towing our stricken FJ out to the subcar and onward to the recovery point, we could nor have done the recovery so quickly without you. So an extra big thank you from me to you my friend and hope to see you with us in the sand very soon.

@Issam Atra I hope you are feeling ok, and please remember that all that matters in these situations is that you are safe and sound and arrived home with your family. I hope you get everything sorted my friend and if i can help at all please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hope that you all can enjoy what is left of the weekend.

See you all again in the sand very soon.
