8 days in the dunes

. On the last 2 trips to Morocco we did 3-4 days on each trip. And to be truthfull that was more than enough for me. I know the D3 isn't the best performer in the sand. Well not when I'm driving it. I'd rather be up in the mountains and doing other stuff rather than dune bashing.
So that counts me out
