    What a drive….ups and downs , fast and slow sections, shovels , tugs and pop outs … If a drive was a movie , this was Forest Gump… “life is like a box of chocolates “ and all that. This drive also highlighted the importance of being prepared for the unexpected, always bring extra water , good boots for the sand and a decent hat. Thanks to @Vanessa8580 the support team for leading with such great camaraderie

    Had a similar situation although with Waze, which is really unusual, it actually froze on us and it was only as it got closer to the meeting time , I realised we were at least 8km passed the meeting point. Have never had that happen before. it’s also good to study the meet location in google maps with satellite imagery on so you have a good sense of the surrounding areas and identify landmarks.

    @munkybizness wonderful journal entry of our early morning drive. The sand certainly had a difference feel which from the moisture, being long wheel base I felt at times I needed more momentum on the sidies but less throttle to prevent fishtailing. Surprisingly the gladiator felt more competent the higher up it was. still need to fight to right balance of speed for going over crests, too little and I crest, too much and I jump…

    Thank you all for a wonderful drive this morning, I really came to understand the importance of momentum when crossing over. Thank you to all shovel help when I had the frame buried on a crest. Thanks for the guidance following in your tracks@munkybizness and @Islam Soliman for leading. And of course @Benjamin for your 2nd lead. Impressed each time I see you other there. See you all again soon

    Thank you @Looper You are correct it’s the 4d JL Sport , sounds like a better bumper is in our future, it’s currently retained on one side with zip ties the other side will be next.. until we have a better solution. The connection points where the plastic bumper connects to the metal bracket on each end seems to be a particular weakness that easily breaks. thanks again Cc. @Benjamin

    Sorry I’m not going either @Gaurav I had removed myself from the drive last Monday, not sure what I re appeared.

    Thanks all for the drive this morning , great weather and company. Love that run up to Pink Rock. Thanks @Mark Birch for the photo and giving me context to what a Gladiator looks like when it’s fishtailing. @Benjamin maybe next time I’ll get stuck and you will need to bail the old man out .

    Thanks for the offer @Brette no need , I have one programmed to the Carnity channels.

    I appreciated getting stuck up to the frame in soft sand and impressed at how you handled it. @Benjamin hopefully when I have my first official drive I won’t do the same.
