@Emanuel massive congratulations, this is a major achievement on your journey. The club and its members will benefit from your calm attitude and strong sense of safety! All the best.

Hi Luke Used a workshop with proper laser alignment equipment. And one that came recommended by a Pajero specialist workshop. Seemed all OK when I left but on Monday after the Sunday drive as I walked up to the car in the morning my eye caught an angle that did not look right. Have checked the car in different lighting and still get the same difference. Maybe just too much time in construction, always looking for snags! But will get it checked out on Saturday morning.

Hi I have recently fitted a Dobinsons IMS lift kit. I had the alignment done. But have noticed by "eye" that the passenger rear wheel is at a different alignment to the drivers side. I will be taking the car back to the shop to have it checked. But if any of you have an idea of what the alignment settings should be for the Paj after a lift, it would be appreciated. Did an FB+ drive after the alignment was done, so not sure if something moved it out of alignment on the drive or if the two rear wheels were not set up the same way. The alignment shop came recommended and Looper's jeep was in the same shop when I had the alignment done, so hopefully a good one. Thanks

Another drive that lived up to it's name, a lovely fast paced roller-coaster thanks @Simon D! A big thanks to the support team of @Imteeaz and @Benjamin for the advice and working hard with the flat tire and pop out! To @RiadJL and @Mahesh_ great to drive with you guys again, always good! All in a very good Sunday morning!

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, for a fantastic and at times quite tough drive. All in one of the very best I have been on despite and maybe because of some of the issues I had. Do not think I have learnt so much from a single drive since Newbie stage! Did a lot of reflection on the way home. To @Cha, @Mahmoud Taha & @RiadJL along with @Ale Vallecchi of course, thanks for the amazing teamwork on the drive, especially during the last hour when we had issues reaching an exit. It was a really good growth experience and will not be forgotten in a hurry.

@DP1011 thanks again for a lovely morning in the sand! At the half way stop I was quite pleased that I had not even had a refusal, than bam the worst stuck of the day with a pop out as well! Can never be too comfortable in the dunes. Thanks to all who helped me get out and fixing the pop out. @Julian hope your jeep is ok and @Islam Soliman hope your gmc cooled down enough to get back home. Cheers to all in the convoy and have a great rest of the weekend.

@Ale Vallecchi thanks to you and the entire convoy for one of the best drives of the summer. Everyone drove really well and flowed through the dunes! The get together at the end of the drive for juice at the resort was a great way to get to know fellow members better.

@Marek looks like a great drive, will have to give it a try soon.

@Simon D, could you please confirm the meeting point. Thanks

@Simon D, confirmed for Saturday

@nithish468 congratulations on the upgrade and the new challenges ahead! See you out on the dune soon.

@Zak_ congratulations, enjoy the new challenges, and faster pace. You will love the step up! See you out on the dunes.

@Ale Vallecchi thank I will join your drive!

@Gaurav have added myself to the waitlist as I may have work interfere with the FB+ drive on Saturday morning. Will confirm a bit later in the week once I am certain. @Gaurav I can confirm that I will attend the drive on Saturday evening.

@Frederic, my apologies I have had to pull out of this drive, have to work on Sat morning. Will do the evening drive instead.

@Gaurav have added myself to the waitlist as I may have work interfere with the FB+ drive on Saturday morning. Will confirm a bit later in the week once I am certain.

Congratulations @J-P L, looking forward to seeing you and your Jimny on some more challenging terrain!

Congratulations @Sandeep Nayar, well deserved! See you on some bigger dunes soon!

@Frederic thanks for leading us on another great drive! Some of the sand tracks through the new grassland of Dubai were quite reminiscent of the sand tracks in northern Botswana! But some fun play areas did emerge from the jungle as promised! @Simon D and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout was good to meet you and have some chats. To everyone on the convoy thanks for a great evening in the sand, see you all soon!

Congratulations @Abhilash Kottakkal, have fun at FB+ level. It is a nice step up and opens up some really fun drives!

I have a rash with small blisters and a redness on both my elbows. Quite itchy but got some cream to rub in this evening.

Congratulations @Luke K P very well deserved! Fixed raptor with shiny new beadlocks hitting the dunes near you soon.

Thanks @DP1011 for another drive that lived up to its title! Good technical terrain linked togeter by streches of "jungle". A good number to refusals and stucks as should be expected on a tech drive, some really soft sand tested the cars and drivers over and above the tight dunes. But lots of good humor and laughs along the way!

Hi Ali could you please post once it is loaded on the events calendar, thanks. If I get my weekend chores done in time I would like to join.

Sorry to hear about the 2nd CV joint of the day! Old Lady Dune would not even give herself up for us today, guess we need all earn her respect! Hope your jeep is back up and running soon!
