Is there multiple choice questions? 😅

Congrats @Lalaji! Funnily enough leveling up is exactly like a video game! As you grow you learn some new mechanics. In this case you know all the moves now you just gotta combo them safely hope to drive with you soon!

Congrats @Imran Asghar! Welcome to the team!

Happy birthday @Carnity to more great adventures 🍻 many thanks to the team that supported and made this club the collaborative, dedicated, and learning environment it is!

Congrats @Ahmad Nerat well deserved!

Congrats @Rafey Hashmi

@Mark B it’s on November 19th

Thank you so much @Looper Goutam for the invite. Davie got his invite out first! I wish you and your team good luck. I’ll see you on the sands soon

@Davie Chase let’s do it smooth operator! Benjamin Augustus Furphy

@Hisham Masaad I hope you begin to feel better soon take rest this weekend I will see you soon

@Johnno unfortunately you will have to start at a Newbie drive for your first time at @Carnity however you can apply for previous offroad experience which will help you get a jump-start if you perform well in your Newbie drive. This structure is used throughout all of Carnity to help keep all offroader's safe including yourself as a driver and your car. I hope this helps

@Zed I wish I found this article earlier! Fantastic read-up. I was always interested in differential in vehicles. As I always understood how it worked in 1940s cars plain and simple for the most part. Whereas 4x4 I was always a little skeptical. This article had certainly enlightened my knowledge in this area. Good job mate. I look forward to reading some of your other articles

Agreed @Bjoern every time I’ve tested the two I’ve had a totally different feel in my Jeep. part-time is great but I’ve only ever found it useful (in my personal preference) with more on the side of extreme off-roading conditions. Climbing mountains in Ras Al-Khaimah I’ve found this setting to be a useful choice. in the end of the day these settings are totally down to the driver and their preference in the sand. personally I like having part-time as an extra aid if I were to get stuck in 4-auto which has worked for me before. Though I do prefer the feel of the car when I’m in control and not the computer. It’s a mixed bag I reckon

Adding onto this if you happen to get into a refusal when your already in part-time you’ll begin to dig down to you chassis a whole lot faster than if you were in 4-auto. However if this were to happen the other way around you may be able to use part-time to get out of the situation 4-auto got you in… if that makes sense. it has worked for me in a practical sense a few times

Hi @Josh S, it’s not surprising you were advised to use 4H-part-time this is because on the Jeep wranglers part-time is technically “full time” meaning the all 4 wheels will be spinning constantly. Unlike 4H auto which will use the onboard computer to control when you do or don’t need all 4 wheels spinning. Ideally in Newbie drives you generally don’t need part-time in fact I rarely use it myself all the way up at intermediate. However it does come in handy when you need power and all 4 wheels at an exact press of the pedal. it’s all based on preference. Follow what @Frederic mentioned about tiptronic manual. Highly recommend you take a good few drives to understand your car once you know the RPM threshold start experimenting. Personally I started driving tiptronic on late fewbie-intermediate drives.

Congratulations Lads! @M.Seidam @Stumpy Paj @Naveen Raj @Zed @Rajiv Sam @DP1011 @Looper Thank you @Frederic for another fantastic hall of fame!

This was a truly unique drive it is hard to find a place to start! So I'll use the age-old technique of chronological order. From the start-point everyone was getting ready for a classic 'yalla push' drive, after a safety brief everyone embarked in their respective 4x4 when @Hisham Masaad ran into some issues starting his FJ. (Hisham I hope the issue is resolved soon Badayer needs the king back soon!) this unfortunately meant that our marshal had to retire from the drive before the journey began. This left the rest of the convoy ready to turn back before our close-by advisor @Davie Chase (A.K,A Smooth Operator, soon to be EX popout champion 😆) came to the rescue like a knight in shining armor. Great job mate the drive went extremely well for your first intermediate lead hope to join on many to come in the future! Moving with haste we entered into a technical patch that was both challenging and fun, once we got to long range dunes the whole convoy was ready to open up their throttles to match the heights of the toughest dunes in this area. through the dunes we met multiple different clubs with large convoys which slowed down the back-end of our flowing convoy, once we got around the other clubs without hesitation we got back up to pace and enjoyed the rest of the lengthy dunes in the area everyone drove amazingly well @Mark B @Jona @Gary F @Ignacio Quindós @Bashar Beasha @Krishna R @Alexanderrr @Amir Amiri Till the next one everyone!
