Maroko stará dakarská sjezdovka M-Hamid-Tata, zrádný jemný písek fesh
Morocco 2025 total 11850km without any problems. The car worked perfectly. Only the omnipresent dust was everywhere

 

Nice!

 

Great photo. Doesn't get much better than riding dirt bikes with your buddies.

 

@mopadzi - That's one of my bucket list trips! Aka, trips of a lifetime. I've always wanted to go to Morocco. Were you able to drive it out of that or was the Defender stuck! Looks like a ton of fun.

 

Hey GrouseK9, my colleague bailed me out. A little dune where I hit the brakes and that was it. Dunes, even small ones, need to be crossed faster. Unfortunately, I couldn't see what was behind the dune, so I braked. The area was full of small dunes, with rock-hard hills in between. I was very careful not to hit any of them. I wrote a little more about this route on Facebook. Unfortunately I can't post a link here. If you click on the post, there is also text in English and more unedited photos and videos. In the text I also briefly describe the developments in Morocco since my last trip in 2017 and now.

If you need any information, write.

Table Mountain region. Well, it's not Arizona :-) There are more of them and they are more colorful. I hope to see it one day.

Joined the Capital Off Road Enthusiasts (CORE - a DC area group) on a day trip to the George Washington National Forest. Ten rigs - two Wranglers, two Broncos, a modern and a first-gen Tacoma/Toyota Pickup, a 4 Runner, a lifted Subaru Crosstrek (did surprisingly well), a Chevy Colorado, and my 110. Perfect weather, nice day on the trail.

 

A day to put the sliders to the test.

Voyager brand performed perfectly as expected. Others, not so much. Very surprising and disappointing to see.

 

Are the bent sliders TuffAnts?

 

Yes.

Looks like a rock deformed the box structure and bent them up. The mud-guard and associated trim are also displaced.

Door can't open as a result. The slider will need to be removed, and replaced or hammered back into shape. Never going back all the way of course. This was the slider's maiden voyage. This trail really required them.

Given my own experiences of stellar customer support from Tuffant, I expect a positive outcome here. The owner is understandably disappointed.
