    Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for the drive this morning. Fast paced, technical, bumpy and loooong Lots of fun! Great driving by the whole convoy. Only a few stucks and refusals meant we were able to keep the pace relatively fast but still ended up going slightly longer than planned. This was my first drive that ended up moving past noon and I got to see the visibility issues at that time of day - I guess the light colored sand didn't help. Amazing how Ale navigated that last technical stretch - was hard for us following to see the track and he didn't even have a track to follow 😅 Proud to have completed the 100km challenge. Well done all!

    Normal shovel. This is basically our most useful tool in desert driving. In 95% of recovery situations in the desert, a sturdy shovel will get you out. I know in the US winches are used along with tree straps etc to self-recover. Winches aren't very prevalent here as a self-recovery tool since we very rarely have something to strap on to in the desert. Land anchors for sand tend to be large, heavy and impractical and I've only ever seen a handful of people with one There are quite a few people who have winches on their rigs here but they are mostly used to help recover someone else

    Yeah, I get the feeling it's the shocks. Looking to upgrade soon.. Will try out 1+2 next time I'm down there Don't think the car's the problem - probably the driver 🤪

    Interesting.. I haven't been able to climb up Iftar bowl's center face so far. My impression was the wheels spend too much time in the air because of all the tire tracks in the sand there and so I'm not able to put down enough power. Do you think diff locks would help in this case? or sway bar disconnect?
