Reall sorry @M.Seidami am running 15 minutes late. So it’s better I cancel than holding up the convoy. Got delayed leaving from work.

Really sorry. I will have to pull out of this drive. Overheating issues with my car this morning.

@Ale Vallecchisorry to leave the drive so late. I am hoping someone will be able to take my place. Have come down with a flu and I can’t make it tomorrow.

Thank you @Ale Vallecchifor a fun mid week drive! It was good meeting everyone and looking forward to seeing you out in the dunes again! Thank you @Jessica Lambert and @Pacific for helping keeping things moving along. Managed to get only a quick couple of snaps during the drive which I have attached below.

Congrats @Tharun Kumar V!

4W only engaged when in 4L. When I was in 4H it was still rear wheel only. I have bead locks so I went down all the way to 6psi to keep up not knowing the root problem is 4W is not engaged. Definitely not safe to drive in 2 wheel drive. Glad I’ve learnt a lesson without running into any bad luck.

Yes I was in 2WD for that one. I couldn’t figure out why I was struggling for that drive and a few before that one. That also explains why I couldn’t switch on the diff locks. Anyway, it’s all sorted out now and my Al Qudra drive with you felt so much smoother.

I got an OBD installed and i didn’t realized it killed my 4WD. I drove 5 to 7 drives in rear wheel drive only. I was struggling for traction but completed all the drives with maybe 1 stuck and 1 refusal. I thought I was too aggressive on the gas pedal. Turns out my 4wd was never engaged. You can get away with quite a bit in a Jeep!

Driving on 4wd drive part time will keep your traction control off when switching between 4H and 4L. Also you’ll notice much better traction and a lot less fish tailing compared to 4H full time. 4H part time is basically centre diff lock on so 50% power to the front wheel and 50% to the rear.

Congratulations @Krishna R

@Gary F sounds like you’re driving on 4wd “auto” because you’re switching to 4wd part-time and then 4L. Whereas you should be on 4wd part-time for desert drives.

@Varun Mehndirattathanks for the fun drive! Looking forward to the next one with you. @Karthik Raptorand @Tharun Kumar Vthanks for the support and keeping everyone moving.

Confirmed.

@M.Seidam, @Davie Chase, @Imteeaz thank you for an amazing drive today. @Gaurav Soni your driving insights are always great! And thanks for the rest of the convoy for a fun evening.

@BenjaminI have a 2022 Jeep Rubicon and I got a 2.5 inch lift, BP51 suspension and 35 inch tyres. I also had it regeared and tuned. Before the mods, I had done a few drives in the stock setup and honestly speaking the car was superb. For me however, the fun of buying a Jeep is all the customization you can do to it. It looks so much better and obviously drives better on sand. Are the mods necessary? Definitely not. Is the car more fun after the mods? Hell yeah!
