    We got off to an early start with everyone there, ready and good to go before the official start time — thank you. Within about five minutes, I had already managed to plant the nose of the car into a bush and needed @Sebastian Nohse on the winch to get moving again. From there, we found some excellent terrain with plenty of long sidies and ridge lines. I then got stuck again, this time needing a proper team effort with @Chema @Krinesh and Sebastian digging to get the car free. We then picked up the pace and took the faster route toward the technical zone. One more stuck followed which probably could have been solved with a bit more shovelling, but with the heat and wind building, Sebastian made short work of it with another quick winch pull. Once we reached the technical section, the whole drive changed character. The faster flowing lines gave way to slow, precise and controlled movements, with everyone adapting well to the more demanding terrain. As we entered the final big bowl, my passengers decided they had experienced quite enough dune bashing for one morning and introduced a little car sickness into the mix. After a quick cleanup, we called it and headed for the exit. We made it out right on time at 09:30. Thanks everyone for a fun morning, solid teamwork and some really good driving.

    No problems @Thomas54675. Better to have the car all sorted out! See you in another drive soon

    🌙 Coffee Club: Al Adlah After Dark We’re starting from the easternmost edge of Al Adlah, heading straight into a narrow corridor packed with some fantastic star-shaped dune formations. The opening section will keep things tight and technical as we thread our way through the stars. As the terrain opens up, the smaller formations give way to large, long-range dunes — ideal territory for practising smooth criss-crossing, controlled transitions and maintaining flow across the ridges. Expect a drive that rewards good positioning, momentum and reading the terrain ahead. The aim isn’t to rush — it’s to find that sweet spot where the convoy flows effortlessly across the dunes. ☕ The final 20 minutes are reserved for something equally important: iced coffee lattes, camp chairs and some good conversation under the desert sky. Camp chair is mandatory. No chair, no latte. 😎 And because it’s a school night… You’ll be home before midnight — assuming you live in Abu Dhabi. 🌙 MUST READ AND COMPLY Environmental Policy Offroad Flag Guideline Two Way Radio Guideline Off road Driving Etiquette's Emergency details for all off-roaders Off Road Driving - Roles & Responsibilities DRIVE DETAILS Level: Fewbie Plus and above Meeting time: 20:00 (SHARP - Without any exceptions) Meeting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/ZRqqPHceExPp1sNt9 Meeting Coords: 24.4137780, 55.0222218 Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance.

    Great pics @Piotr. ps, i wasnt really stuck any of those times, I just wanted to give @Giacomo the opportunity to play with the winch.... 😜 yeah right! haha
  7. yeah agreed about doing it in phases @Frederic .. car already has high-beam on the front for decent lighting, so A Pillar lights would be the priority for me as well to spread out the beam.
  8. auxbeam V-ULTRA series. get a mid sized pod for a pilalrs, 4 inch or so. Aim 40 degrees away from front on, no bonnet glare and wide beam of light. get a 5 or 6 inch spotlight for front, might require a shop to fab a bracket. for rear i would get a small 2 inch or so, its not driving light so a small one will be plenty. auxbeam gangpanel 6 switch controller which mounts in cabin. comes with quality vinyal stickers for switch labels etc and is one of the the better switch box systems available in my opinion (think i managed to convert @ChrisW to these as well). This will come in around budget. auxbeam makes some damn excellent stuff. price performance wise they are pretty amazing IMHO. for colour, i prefer amber, others prefer white. its really up to you. auxbeam do have the option of having amber coloured protection covers, so if you choose white you can switch to amber easily later.
