Hey Faheem, What do I get for being the first to register for this trip? 🙂
A question to you or anyone who can help, I’m trying to find a proper crocodile jack or similar that can lift my car. I tried the 3 & 5 tons jacks but no luck, they were a bit short and the car was lifted by 1inch or so. any recommendations?
Cheeers,

Hi Anas Tibi!!
Best solution to lift your car is Hi-Lift. As your car has big wheels, regular jacks won’t work for your truck there outside.
The Hi-Lift even with suspension fully extended will still lift easily your wheels. Just make sure 3 recomendations:-Tight it properly to the car to avoid it jumps out of the store place while desert driving. (it’s quite heavy) 😕
-Get the plastic base and the wheels grabs for it. Base to avoid sinking in the sand, grabs to attach to the wheels (so no need to lift from the bumpers). B-)
-Do some training with somebody experienced with it before you use it alone. This jack has huge power and so is the damage that can make if wrongly used to you or your car 😕I Hope this help is usefull! 😀 😀

Hi,
I do not have an auto air compressor as i usually go to the nearest petrol station after the trip. Is that absolutley necessary?
For the radio i have Qangda N98, is that compatible?

To the rescue!!!
Let me do the honor of sweeping. This would be my last drive before i release my car for sale. 🙁 🙂
well if there is a petrol station or a tyre shop close to the exit point, even I prefer to inflate there, rather than going through all the hassle of taking the air compressor out and storing it back after inflating the tyres, but its always good to have all the necessary equipment because, pop outs are very common in sand driving and to fix a pop out compressor is one of the must haves.
as far as my humble knowledge is concern, I have no idea about the compatibility of your Qangda N98, lets discover it tomorrow.
till then take good care of yourself and everyone around you! 🙂

Good morning everyone 🙂
This is going to be my 2nd drive with you, I’m really excited and happy to join your club…
Cheers
Hi Levy, I tried the hi-lift jack and it only works for the fornt wheels since there is no lift points at the back of my truck 🙂 I’m planning to take it to a garage where I can get at 2 new lift points at the back. thanks for the tip bro 🙂 see you on the sand… :thanks:
