Looks great in those big red dunes!
Like the 'sand flag' mounted at the rear In Oz, most peeps put them on the front bullbar, which is more distracting. What tyres are fitted btw? YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

The 'Sand Flag' is there to make vehicles hidden behind adjoining sand dunes, easier to see.
There have been many cases of guys running into each other as they approach the same sand dune from opposite directions at high speed and not seeing each others vehicle until too late! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Thanks Guys
As mentioned by YOLO flags are required to avoid running into each other from two ends of a dune or incase you are bogged down, to warn others. Very useful. Tyres are 235/85/R16 BFG KO2 A/T. You are allowed to drive anywhere in the desert as long as its not private property.  Click image to enlarge Cheers TVM |

Looks awesome. I'm in Dubai for the next few weeks on a contract and would love to get out into the desert (no Defender with me unfortunately). Is there anywhere you could recommend?

Hi
Try "Arabian Adventures" desert drive. They are part of Emirates Group and have sunset drives. Starts at around 3-4pm and finishes at around 10pm with dinner at a camp in the desert. There are many who offers desert drives, but Arabian Adventures are the best Cheers TVM |
