True, when you see the four-wheel symbol in your dash it means you're rteady to surf the dunes..

So the traction is out? and what does locking the diff do anyways.

thanks

Default What is it like there?

What is it like for you to drive off road. Can you drive unrestricted on the sand or is this a park of some type? Is this private property and you have access. How far could you drive and what are the dangers – for example getting stuck in the sand, 50 kilometers from a road and not enough water. The pictures make the sand look like it has some degree of support. If you come home late do you get in trouble from your wife?

Thank you for posting

Regrading Aljodor's question this place is in the desert, it's not a park and you can drive for hundreds of kilometers.

And yes we have to be very careful and have enough food.

We also have all means of communications. We have celulars, satellite phones named (Thuraya) and HF radios and of course GARMIN sets equiped with desert maps.

One more thing we usually inform concerned ones of our whereabouts and Garmin Cordinates, just in case.
