Hey @Rafey Hashmi! Good to see you back my friend! I've been following your content online and love it! The new FJ is in my opinion a great lifestyle overlanding / off-roading / camping 4x4 that has the proven Toyota reliability and a bulletproof 2.7. We know that the existing FJ owners are largely disappointed due to the departure of the mighty 4.0 V6, but you of anyone should know by now that fun is not always measured in horsepower. I've driven underpowered 4x4's for most of my life and will honestly say it's been so much fun to find a smooth line and make it up a large dune. You've driven in Liwa with me and your Jimny took it all with a smile, and i believe the new FJ Cruiser would do the same for you. Drake's opinion about the new FJ:

Congratulations @J-P L on reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club! Dear Jean-Pierre, you have navigated that Jimny of yours through all possible terrain now, and your support duties you've delivered have been extraordinary. Now comes the time you will start leading convoys yourself and we are so proud and thankful to have you amongst us, and looking forward to trying to follow you ! @Ale Vallecchi will be your Professor taking you through the leaders lead sessions that will be organized soon! 🧑‍🏫 🏅 Advisor Level The Advisor Level is the cornerstone of Team Carnity’s structure. Even as you progress to higher ranks, you will always remain an Advisor first. This role is about constructively helping, supporting, and advising others with mutual respect as part of our multicultural family. Advisors are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange views at any level - always respectfully, professionally, and confidentially for internal use. This is the stage where your biggest transformation begins - from skilled off-roader to capable leader. 📌 Leaders Lead Session At this level, you’ll join the exclusive Leaders Lead sessions - an intensive program with homework and pre-drive preparation. These sessions, conducted by Crew members for a select few Advisors, cover: Advanced Sand Reading & Planning – terrain assessment, level setting, and emergency exits. Navigational Leadership – using software to manage and scale convoy leads. Extreme Convoy Management – leading, recovering, and handling convoys in the toughest UAE deserts. This is exclusive, invaluable training available only to Advisors. 🚙 Path to Expert Level Once you’ve completed the three steps above, you’ll be eligible to start leading under supervision: Minimum 2 partial leads in daytime Fewbie drives (under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision). Minimum 4 full Fewbie leads planned, posted, and executed (Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision). You may take on additional partial or full leads if you’d like more time to build confidence. Upon successfully completing this journey, you’ll qualify for Expert promotion - a milestone that marks the beginning of your leadership legacy.

Congratulations @Rasna for making it to our Member in the Spotlight this week! Your dedication and passion for off-roading in your beautiful Rubicon is amazing to see!

Congratulations, @Rasna 🎉🚙 I married a Member in the Spotlight now 😅. Please remember, I deserve at least 50% of the credit as your photographer, mechanic, and full-time supporter 😁.

Dear Friends - thank you for the encouraging feedback! Looking forward to continuing the excellent drives with you on the dunes brgrds zsolt

I already received my b-day gift. Black Raptor recovery from fox 🦊 hole without damaging anything 🫣. After the drive we have had 30-40min to celebrate successful recovery.

Congratulations @ChrisW for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club. Surely we have all noticed the quiet rise of a titan amongst us. Chris's background in Engineering, Aviation (and so many other lives already lived ), and his time spent in the dunes, resulted in an Expert off-roader who not only loves to coach and get Carnity offroaders surfing on the dunes, but loves to understand the nuts and bolts and intricacies of vehicles, performance, gps analysis and what not. Having said that, his calm demeanor, humility, fine sense of humor, wit, and sarcasm, makes for a fine fellow to spend an evening with around a campfire in the Arabian deserts! We are extremely proud having him amongst our mids and hope for many more seasons in the sand! EXPERT This level will be the most essential in your off-road development as you will start leading and managing drives independently with the support of other senior advisors. And also, you will help in developing new advisors to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills for managing adventurous yet safer off-road drives. The expert level will offer you continuous improvement in your overall development by alternating between leading and supporting once in a while. This way, you will still learn and advance your knowledge by supporting other trip leads in different terrain to understand the complexity and challenges involved and practicing independent lead and convoy management.

It was clear early on that you were enthusiastic about your new off-roading hobby, but you've been such a consistent part of our off-roading family now, and a fantastic mentor to our members. Your calm demeanour and quick wit is a blessing to have as a lead, and we all feel so well looked after whenever we are on your drives. You absolutely deserve this !

Congratulations @Piotr. for making it to this week's Member In The Spotlight! And Happy Birthday!

Thank you @Frederic and everyone in the Carnity Club for the kind words and most of all for your comradary!

Hey Stephan, In the end it makes no great difference and is largely just a question of convenience. If you plan to offroad regularly (say once a week on average), then having a fixed onboard compressor is useful and is one less thing to pack and remember. If you want to avoid making any changes to your car, or you’re happy to pack your equipment each time you go off-roading, a portable unit is a great option. I went for a fixed installation onboard compressor in my Jeep as I take it out regularly enough to benefit from the saving of time and space taken up in the car.

i took that photo, so 16% should go to me 😁

Fitted mine in the Defender's engine bay. A bit hot, and as @ChrisW said, she is a bit fussy, so I have to remember to open the hood when using the compressor a bit longer. And probably more importantly, as I found out last night,: DON'T FORGET TO TAKE MY PHONE FROM THE CONVENIENT PLACE ON TOP OF THE RADIATOR, BEFORE CLOSING THE HOOD!!! I chose to install the little manifold and the Bluetooth controller with it, to make things easier avoid additional switches in the cabin. You can then set programmable pressure options and it regulates it all by itself, though I fail to see the point in reducing pressure via the controller. The compressor's controller is connected via the Garmin Powerswitch for the same convenience: accessible on the phone and carplay! Again, ensure you put the phone back in your pocket after use, see note above... The air outlet I led through the side of the car, opposite of the engine air intake, which has no function with my engine, (for people blessed with a bigger wallet: it does with the Octa). Great for access and the normal ARB hose is long enough to get to all tires from that point. Key takeaways are: make sure you still have sufficient airflow/cooling otherwise it will just stop working in best case until reset, or cease in worst. Ensure you fuse your power supply, for some reason the first fuse blew only after it fried one of the motors in the compressor. Luckily ARB gave me a new one after they did some checking!

@ChrisW fantastic write up. Thank you sharing. I have fitted my compressor at the same location (jeep jk 2 door), small compartment in the trunck. The problem i got was overheating and I blow a fuse. Now I always use a small stick to keep it open, during the usage, so it has a better air circulation.

Thanks @Frederic for recognition and b-day wishes. I am trying to stay awake after yesterday's night drive 🫣.

Congratulations @Frans M on reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club! Dear Frans, you have shown to be cool as a cucumber, yet warm as a person.

Thank you so much guys - it’s been a great pleasure learning to offroad with Carnity and go from newbie to leading drives. I think the ethos our club has is unique, and that comes from all of our members. I’m looking forward to enjoying many more drives and learning more together with all of you.

I second all mentioned on the announcement. It’s always great to drive along the finest dessert recovery service in the Abu Dhabi area well deserved mate!

Feeling truly blessed! What a journey it has been, from the masterclass with the legend Gaurav in Dec 2023, working through the ranks to IM level during 2024. Then slowly moving towards Advisor and today. There have been so many mentors and friends along the way that all made Carnity the very special club that it is. Too many to mention but I am sure that you know who you are! There is so much still to learn, experiences to be had.and shared with all of you.

Thank you so much @Frederic, @Asif Hussain, @_luke_ and everyone! it is indeed with pleasure time to give back to such amazing community, team and members! Put your 4H and seat belts on... I look forward to many more drives together!

Thankyou everyone @Frederic @Ishak @Andrew John Melvill @Rasna @_luke_ @Jose Luis Campos @khurramm @Emanuel. See you on the drives.......

hp/tonne vs hp/ton. so it will be around 89 hp/ton. still in the Borderline OK.

Hello Frederic, absolutely great piece of writing. Very useful. I am wondering about the best option between a compressor mounted in the car (for example under the passenger seat - Offroad Zone does that with an ARB), or a compressor that one needs to plug to the battery each time it is needed. There is an obvious difference in price... But what is the most practiced here? Is it inconvenient to open the hood, plug to the battery each time needed? Thanks in advance for you view on that. Stephan

Congratulations @Jerome!! Well deserved

Thanks Fred!! Looking forward to the slightly faster drives and continued learning

Selamat pak @Frans M on your well-deserved promotion to Advisor level. langsung gas BBQ 🤣. Throughout many drives, you've always been someone people can rely on, bringing a great combination of technical expertise, sound judgment, and a calm presence in challenging situations. One memorable example was the Green Jeep rollover recovery in Nahil, where your calm and firm approach, combined with your excellent technical skills, helped manage the situation safely and effectively. Your ability to stay composed under pressure and make the right decisions is something that inspires confidence in everyone around you. I have no doubt that these qualities will make you an outstanding Advisor and convoy leader. Looking forward to drive under your lead 🫡.

Congratulations @J-P L on your well-deserved promotion to Advisor level! 🎉 Your dedication to the Carnity community, willingness to help others, and calm guidance on every drive have made a huge impact on many members, myself included. Personally, you've supported my drive many times and I have no doubt you'll do an amazing job leading convoys as an Advisor. Looking forward to drive under your lead 🫡.
