    @Ahmad Quadri Welcome to the Family community:) Great decision to ask here as I ended up buying stuff which I never used/needed/required.

    And recently I installed an onboard conpressor, so I have my old compressor, please take mine, use it few times, and if you decide to continue ( which am pretty sure you will, then invest in a compressor) . I stay in JLT and ping me if you wannt to pick this from me, dint wanted to sell it, and instead pass it to fellow member. 0566838510

    Ummm all what you have said usually shouldn’t cause this . Actually not the acceleration what caused that it’s something else 😄

    The guy loves 2wheel drive mode. Because of that when he went over the top of the dune his front wheels just got stuck instead of pulling the car forward like in a 4wd mode.

    Lift kit or no kit?

    Fully agree with @Frederic - I did go through same thoughts what @Benjamin is going through now, but thanks to conversations with few experienced folks, I remained with Stock, and I dont think I missed out on anything so far....might think of lift up if i end up doing off-roading in mountains to cross boulders :D , Untill then, I continue to book holidays with family ;)

    @Looper @Waqas Parvez @Vaibhav @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler  thank you guys for all your insights.

    well - my kids and wifey surprised me with  an X3 (Insta360) and not the car on my birthday.

    now i need to start looking for the accessories to get it ready for my next drive.

    i have noticed that the suction mounts (ones with 3 suction mounts) are most probably best suited for the off-roading; i am still deciding whether to have it mounted on the side (as all of you guys do) or on the sunroof (yes - i have a sunroof).

    which product do you recommend for the mounts?

    @Looper  i will go through your above list in Insta360 website and try to buy these. 

    anything i need to know gents before i starting digging through my wallet?

    thanks

    @Imteeaz Welcome to the club🤟🏽😎! 
    agree with @Vaibhav , pls dont use it till u buy Lens cover ( for about 100, from amazon) , Suction cup costed 400, but just after i bought the white friday sale offered it for 260😂, and I would deftly recommend a spare battery ( as done to me by Looper)! 

    Mounting side or roof, - Am sure as u level up from Absolute NB to FB, FB+ and IM, u will get all angles covered 😂🍻, as mounting is not fixed!

    Midweek Morning Chills - Fewbie Desert Drive - Al Qudra - 12 Jan 2023

    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    Thanks @GauravSoni for this lovely morning chil! I got to kmw the sunrise is 7am these days😂! And I loved the way u planned it, start, get on a high dune , coffee and watch sunrise and then quick drive ( which lasted 3+ hours😂)

    @Tharun Kumar V @premindra rajaram @Pranjal Varsani1 Must say everyone drove brilliantly, No sidesloping at all, and quickly picking up on distancing and ridge riding! 

    also admire their patience, it was anothet great learning experience, I realised later, we used 1 rope for first car,  2 ropes for second car and 3 ropes for third car😎🙌🏼! 
     

    Looking forward to these , perhaps also a sunset drive next?😎 

     

    P.S : Special thanks to @Looper I ensured that I join this drive😂!

    Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Badayer - Sharjah - 13 Jan 2023

    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    I cannot Agree more to this @Hisham Masaad! My first drive with rooftop removed, I significantly understimated the potential today and  from automode moved to manual, with those sandsplashes, I was just wondering what next and when do we pull out rope or shovel - But disappointed😂😂, My first NB drive without rope or shovel being used, and neither 4low!!! 
     

    kudos and congratulations to some amazing FBs in making!! @rohit kumar @Rk ram @MohamedSherif! 

    @Pacific as always great to see u and have u as part of convoy. 

     

    @Hisham Masaad : By todays benchmark, you know what a FB+ drive should be now ;) 

     

    Fantastic day! Thanks again Folks. My fav click is this and others in gallery!:) Enjoy!

    Morning Intermediate " Limited" Desert Drive - Al Wagan - Abudhabi - 8 Jan 2023

    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    Dear Doc @M.Seidam - Despite being mentally prepared and accepting all your Disclaimers and interesting insights, I have a limitation to be back home by 2pm, which I dont think is possible and that would not be a justice done to the drive with a constant thought of being back home in time   

    My apologies, I remove myself 😑  and perhaps I now wait for Wagan 2.0 , Will certainly miss this Fun and the lovely convoy members.
