Maybe we will find a moment for that experiment @Mark B @Zed @JeromeFJ front right sway bar link extra tight in preparation -
Switched to Geolanders LT tires same as @Bravoecho Still on stock rim’s so the max size I could fit was LT285/70 R17 weight is about 24kg and I find they like being around 9psi . Geolander specs I noticed a huge difference in performance but that was compared to BF Goodrich mud terrains.

Great to hear you’ll be back in the sand this weekend . Don’t forget never leave the keys in the car 😂. And the writing does really make the tires pop. -

@Frederic thank you for organising this wonderful drive, myself and James had a great time, appreciate the time commitment that went into this plan. It was a great day out and I’m sure for many of us a chance to see parts of the UAE we didn’t know existed. Thanks @Vanessa8580 for leading convoy 2 it was - fun drive. Apart from the scenery the frivolousness of driving with 20 psi on the sand was a new challenge, sorry @Brette that last dune before the wadi , it was already pretty churned up by the time I attempted, I wasn’t going to let it beat me and I beat it with 4th gear in 4 lo and inflated tires making sure the sand was well aerated for you. 😂

Would love to @Zed I’m even going to be staying in Abu Dhabi this weekend, but I promised my wife a nice weekend with a music of the Hamilton type rather then roaring car engines 😂

DP1011 has been promoted to Expert level
Gary F replied to Gaurav's topic in Off-Road Club's Announcements
@DP1011 congratulations 🥳 well done for reaching expert, a great achievement, looking forward to being on one of your drives in future. -
Thinking we may need a variety of Jeep configs and a single driver to test and settle the debate once and for all. regarding RPM in offroad+ modes on newer jeeps at least in D they really Like to stay on the higher side of 4000 before changing. Hence I often override in tiptronic, because off-road + mode for at least make the throttle much more responsive.

You’re on @Mark B will need a clean dune and observers to record the results.

Great post @Zed been thinking about this a lot recently and with 50 drives I think it’s time for some experimentation. Driving the Jeep Gladiator Sandrunner (Mojave in USA) its already packing a few hundred kilos of extra weight vs a Wrangler between the bed, reinforced frame and larger axles. I often find on larger climbs in 4hi I’m running out of RPM in first and torque in second, with 31 inch tires. The Mojave has a 2.71:1 transfer case allowing up to 70kmh speeds (50mph) might be time to find tall dune for some experiments.

Everyone drove super well on yesterdays (never even got a chance to take our shovels out from the back of the convoy) drive with a great mix of terrain. lovely to meet all new members , see you on future drives. I have added some photos to the gallery.
