  1. @Wayne Momsen you definitely should look for this center diff lock - your car is crazy tail happy. And this helps making phenomenal pictures - enjoy: @DP1011 thanks for taking few clicks of my mall crawler!! I finally have some proof that I got all that built and use it for something more than just skipping parking queue in Dubai Hills Mall! Window open? Ouch...
  2. trust me... it was there. And it looks very similar after every intense drive (yet not carnity ones ). The amount of sand on the "dirty" side tells the story. With filter packed so much, the air is trying to get in any other way - around the filter, over the seals... This photo is just to show the scale of the problem.
  3. you should see mine... basically that's one good reason to have a snorkel (contrary to the popular opinion that it is used for water wading). Sand will always be there. And at the bottom of your oil pan too, which shows that the fine sand actually gets into the engine causing slow but visible damage to bearings. The only way to reduce that is to remember to change your air filter (cleaning alone is also good, but that does not mean you can keep the air filter for 10kkm - not in these conditions!), clean your intake after heavy drives and don't follow regular 15kkm oil change, keep it as short as you can: 6-7kkm for those who run extreme drives is a must. And don't even think about any sport or cone filters...
  4. that was... kinda long overdue and just a formality, right @Emanuel ?!
  5. awesome drive @Emanuel, congrats on your lead skills progress and hope to see you leading some more advanced and aggressive drives in the future! a few pics in the gallery: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/2361-fewbie-al-ajban-abu-dhabi-9-aug-2025/
  6. Thank @Frederic, I broke couple of expensive lenses and reverted back to stock 55-140mm just because of conditions you work with - sand will kill any piece of high tech, so not worth using anything fancy, especially since daytime lightning conditions in the desert are phenomenal, so you can get away with shooting at aperture f/6.7 with time 1/2000s, while driving... using one hand... and it will still be sharp. Grain reduction using AI-powered lightroom...
