ASAD.

Damn this reminds me being the 2nd lead, any other volunteers for this time? For perspective, Expected Situation! 😅

@Srikumar this sounds like a prelude to the blockbuster night drive that is still due?

@Vanessa8580 i added myself as well. Like waqas said gonna try 2 sweihan drives in a row this time, hopefully both I and the car survive 😅

welcome to the club buddy, im sure you will enjoy this level. Hope to see you soon.

@GauravSoni thank you for the fantastic drive, one of the best ones i have done in the area. The idea of having everyone assess and try self-recovery themselves at inter level is very good, i especially learnt a few more things. Hope no issues with the car. @Hisham Masaad always a sense of assurance to have you in the convoy whether leading or supporting, thank you once again. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie thanks for sweeping the convoy, hope you are able to sort out the bumper problem. To the rest of gang, always great to meet the usual suspects, great driving. Will be signing off for a couple of weeks, hope to catch-up with all of you soon.

@Gaurav Soni had to leave due to some work in the morning. Will be doing the evening drive instead. Wish you guys fun

great going @Rob S. You've been onto this role from day 1 😂

many congrats brother. im sure you'l do great in this role as well.

@Hisham Masaad wonderful drive as usual and thanks for giving me the opportunity to be sweep, my first time in this position and absolutely loved it. like @Waqas Parvez mentioned, the drive was more Fewbie+ with some steep climbs but the convoy did exceptionally well to meet the level. @Abdelghani thanks for being SL, no doubt u have your fathers skills im sure you’l be leading some madmax drives of your own soon 😅 @Waqas Parvez great job as support, your promotion is well deserved. Hope to see you see all soon.

Thanks for adding me @Hisham Masaad. Looking forward to meeting new people.

@Ale Vallecchi apologies will have to drop out. Have a family event that i will have to attend.

I was this close to say he let us suffer on purpose 🤣

Thanks for sharing @Zed. Yes, tyre lube along with the ratchet method looks quite a logical way to fix poputs on these wheels in the desert. I was actually surprised that it did pop in the first place since i was running at 11psi but i guess a pocket and sharp turning led to that. think i will buy a ratchet and some lube just in case.

@Hisham Masaad thank you so much again for the drive. Wish i could continue to the more exciting part. Cant thank everyone enough for helping out withe the popout especially @Rob S @Waqas Parvez @Fabien Monleau & @Vaibhav. Car is fine and all fixed now but theres definitely some research needed on how to fix poputs on these beadgrips hope to catch u in the next badayer trip.

@Zed & @Thomas Varghese thanku so much, just saw your msgs. Reconnecting the battery took some time but @Zed like you said no lights initially but came back on after some time. I wont be able to make it to the meeting point ontime now anyway, better for me to sit this one out and get it checked rather than take a chance and spoil the fun for the rest of the grp. I hope you all have an enjoyable and safe drive, i will def catch up with you soon.

@Zed thanks i dont have a scanner unfortunately. Someone advised to remove the battery terminals overnight, i will try that and hope in the morning fault is clear. Are you sure it will be cleared with the scanner? Btw prado is a full time 4WD, so the 4H and diflock seems to be working fine. Its just the 4L function that seems to have the problem, not engaging also

@Islam Soliman my engine check light turned on this evening and 4lo keeps blinking. There doesnt seem to be any issue in the car, probably a sensor issue. If the problem persists in the morning, i may have to skip the drive.

Yes, sure thing Islam. Thanks for adding me

Done

@M.Seidam got handed over some work and it doesnt seem likely that i will make it to the drive. Better to leave my spot for others on WL. Have a safe drive.

Its ok now @Gaurav but did have the restriction in the beginning. I guess few guys have missed out the rsvp as it got full by then

Seems to be ok now

Same problem with me. @Rob S @Vaibhav i think all of us in todays drive have the same issue. Couldnt add myself in any drive

@M.Seidam any chances of extending the convoy?

Thanks for the concern guys. Wifes absolutely fine, its the car that needs my attention😅. Its a small dent on the side but had taken some time from work so only time to sort out police report and insurance. Hope you all have fun
