Islam and Hisham, thank you. The short dunes were challenging for most with many crested vehicles. May it was too though for newbies. I appreciate your patience with newbies.

Nice pictures. I am the last before sweeper in most of the drives... so unless the sweeper has good camera , I won't have a picture of my car 😞

Lovely Drive. Good coordination between the two leaders. I was with Richard and the last bit in Al Qudra was fabulous.

The views for this drive are higher than average. Very happy to be part of the group

I didn't get it...paid AED146

Hi Islam, I am going to another event with Vanessa on 19 and after signing up for that, I waitlisted for this event, now that I've double checked, it says Im managing the event with you. I have no issue with this as long as your fine, perhaps newbies are also good managers. Update: Resolved the issue by changing RSVP, I was the first but I am now 4th, hard luck I guess.

Dear Frederic and Daneesh, Wonderful drive and time. AlFaya dune was awesome , especially since we were able to climb straight up. Crossing from Mahafiz to Maleiha was first 'crossing' for me. Thank you for the chats ans sharing of information and knowledge. Lastly thank you all the convoy members for being so good and patient with each other and maintaining the COVID protocol.

My Tundra has Rigid lights on the front and Baja Designs on the rear, have 2 Rigid radiance bars (20”), Rigid fog lights which came stock with the car, and the D-SS Pro floodlights on the A pillars. The rear has the Baja Designs S1 spotlights which are activated only when the car is engaged in reverse as the stock reverse lights provide no where near enough light to reverse in complete darkness. I will say that Rigid is my absolute favorite company when it comes to off-road lighting, they have quick and helpful support teams and the build quality is just out of this world, up close you can see what I mean, they are just beautiful. I would say at-least get the A pillar lights first as they do make quite a difference when it comes to lighting a large area, then go ahead with light bars mounted on the bumper, these will completely change the game and will light up everything, especially in foggy or dusty conditions, they are just great. I am not planning to mount roof bars as they wind noise is crazy as I’ve heard from others on the forum and I wont be buying them now, maybe sometime later on. These will illuminate more than low mounted light bars, simply put, the whole area will be almost as bright as day. Theres not much to talk about for the rears as they just provide lights for reversing but they are small and do the job well. Basically, even though companies like Rigid are expensive and your looking for something mid range, they are definitely one if the best if not the best Off-road lighting company in my opinion, they are built very very tough. If you can, buy nothing but Rigid, KC or Baja Designs, these are popular for again, the quality and reliability of many years. Trust me, you will be much happier with brands like these. You can look into KC for roof mounted lights mainly. And Baja Designs make decent, small sized spotlights. But be careful with battery draw as MunkeyBizness mentioned, my Tundra runs on the stock battery but when ignitions on and engines off, power drains rather quickly, not as much as a damaged battery, but it definitely takes a toll on the battery’s life span. I will change the battery soon and will update if its any better.

Got everything thats needed.

Hi Kailash, Will you publish convoy formation and radio frequency to use? Regards

I am glad that I made it time to get a slot. Happy to join the drive

My poor flag 😂

No worries and thanks, you got me a bit worried there. See you.

@Ale Vallecchi Hope we can join tomorrow? Awaiting your response.

I have done all sign-ups etc and specifically said I am coming and that my car is equipped with mentioned equipment. @Ale Vallecchi

Why am I not mentioned here?

Hey, what are the specs of the bar?

Hi, I am excited to meet you all on Sunday. I confirm that the car has the tow hooks and the necessary ground clearances. We have a deflator tool and a good quality compressor. Will be installing flag tomorrow and will purchase radio today. I have driven in sand few times but first with Carnity. See u!

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi, I wanted to join some drives (my first convoy with Carnity) but I have been out in the desert with my car quite a few times, can I join newbie convoys too or is it mandatory to join absolute newbie? Thanks.

Thank you.

I think a walkie talkie would be much better as I can use it out of the car too, only issue is charge.

Hi, as the title suggests I’m looking for a good radio system for comms in off-road convoys but also something reliable incase its ever needed in a secluded area, there seem to be many options and Im a bit confused.

Hi Gaurav, I am sorry but due to some health issue, I wont be able to join on 16th Jan dribe Apologies for inconvenience it may cause Regards
