Congrats on your alpha! You'll love this in the desert if you mod it right. amrg gave you great advice relevant to Qatar and its shortcomings.
I suggest you level and go 35" tires asap.

Curious to know how much you bought yours for. QR?

That leather is going to be so hot in that sun! I loved y'all's mall. Something like five stories tall and it had an ice rink at the end of it.

Last weekend was my first time to offroad it. I am not an expert on sand dunes but that is my first time to take some real ones competing cruisers and patrols

Well a few tips, your Alpha is extremely powerful for the sand, so don't feel the need to floor it unless you are trying to do a steep hill climb from a dead start. Otherwise, you should be able to drive over the dunes mostly in second/third gear. Im runnig 315s and I cruise down the beach mostly in 2nd/3rd.
Run your tires at 10-12 psi, thats the best way to stop your truck from getting stuck in loose sand. Stock tires are rubbish, so you need to air down as much as possible.
Finally, if you upgrade to bigger tires, do instal a trans cooler that bypasses the stock one. The Alpha trans runs really hot in the summer with big tires (i found out when I got a scanner). Pay 1500 now for a cooler installed and save 10K for fixing a blown trans in the future due to overheating!

Hey Amr. Thanks for the tips. I am not running stock tires. I got brand new BFGoodrich 285-75-16 on stock wheels. I dont think am going bigger even with the leveling kit becayse i have future plans to go 17" XD wheels and 295 max since it is my daily ride and on sand weekend offroad they will do just fine. but the idea of getting a trans cooler is neve bad. Available at the dealer?

I ordered mine seperatly and had it installed at Sams. The dealer doesnt do this type of work and at 450 qrs/ hour, I wont even ask them. It took 3 / 4 hours to do at Sams so that would've been 1350 to 1800 qrs labour alone at the dealers!

I got a tru-cool trans cooler, 34000 btu, from ebay. If interested ill checkout the link for you.
