  1. i couldnt find any nice natural colour ones, and ended up getting this 3 way unit from ACE https://www.aceuae.com/en-ae/wild-land-galaxy-solar-light-w-tripod-and-bag-1.8-m/2274533.html detachable work light, usb-c charging. sits up quite high and can push out a lot of light, but also multiple dimming modes. Works for me for bbq'ing at night.
  2. just make sure you get something sturdy. Once I bought a jack for offroad it moved little by little around inside my plastic box i was using, and eventually cracked the sides. now i strap my jack down to another tiedown point so it cant move around at all but separate to the rest of my 'soft gear' I've also seen some people use a small suitcase. which seems to work pretty well giving you two sides to work with and fits well into trunks, and can be strapped down easily.
  3. I have everything stowed in a toolbox, which is secured using ratchet straps from Amazon. I also have some shovel rubber mounts which I have installed on the inside boot area so that during drives I can get quick access to my Shovel to dig myself and others out without having to disconnect all the straps and do them back up after. See you on a drive sometime!
  4. Hi @Zubail, you can click on the calendar again, and remove yourself from the going list, Then you can click 'going' on the Dubai twilight newbie drive
  5. Awesome @Ishak I bet you'll have a great time on those IM drives!
  6. Thanks @RiadJL i've set this as my new profile pic!
  7. throwback to the last known photo of LRDG back in 1943,,, i mean 2023 😆 hope to see you all for some further lomg distance patrols soon. 💪
  8. Thanks for the fun short drive. Sorry I had to bail early because of the passengers. Have a great week 🙏
  9. I'm not actually looking at changing now that I've found my perfect pressure zone. But I am interested in what tech is out there and the pros cons are re: tyre mounting
  10. LoL that sounds like a terrible design then!
  11. Beadlocks are heavy and difficult to work with if need to do in the field re-beading. The two alternatives I've found are the method beadgrip, and the icon innerlock. Both of these are lightweight and can have tyres installed without needing to be torqured precisely and needing retightening every X KMs. Icon features locking pins that are installed radially into the wheel stopping any sideways motion of the tyres, whereas the bread grip utilises ridges on the inner bead groove to help stop the bead slipping. Looks like the innerlock tech might do a better job at holding your tyre impact from the pressure testing performed by both companies. (See images below) Here is link to both manufacturers info: Method beadgrip: https://www.methodracewheels.com/pages/bead-grip?_pos=1&_sid=847b565ed&_ss=r ICON vehicle dynamics: https://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/rebound-pro Anecdotally, I found the beadgrips to be excellent when I was running them on pajero. Never had a pop out whilst using them compared to 3or4 on my stock rims. (Could also be sure to driving style changes...) Do you know of any other simulated beadlocking tech that's available out there. And any real world experience (good or bad) using these over standard rims or real beadlocks?
  12. last faqa drive i dont think you were getting most of our messages from the back either.. no replies. maybe too much squelch applied filtering out 'staticky broadcasts'
