    Dear all,
    I am new to the group and off-roading in general. Hoping to make my first drive this Friday.

    I’ll get the radio and flag, as advised. I was hoping to defer the decision to buy a compressor after this drive. Will that be okay? Many thanks.

    Radio and flag is enough for this drive, you can inflate at Badayer tyre shops after the drive :ymhug:

    HELP!
    I have managed to get the Radio, but I am struggling to find a place to get a flag and more importantly fix it. I don’t have a roof rail so I believe a bracket will need to be fabricated. Ramy 4×4 are too busy to do it by tomorrow (Ramadan timings are another constraint). Can anybody please suggest where I can get this done by tomorrow? Thank you all in advance.

    My first 20 drives or so I had a fishing rod used as a flag pole. You can get it at Carrefour or Lulu for like 30 dirhams.
    Dragon Mart has flags with suction cups also.

    OK thanks, I’ll try and get a fishing rod, or will try DM.

    In case of the fishing rod: how do you attach it to the car, however?
