  1. Don't drop 12 to 9 immediately, as you need to adapt as well to handle smoother curves and absorb bumps proactively. In case of Deepak made a diff, but after that 1 climb, we inflated back to 10 or 11. Am I correct @DP1011. You can try 11 on the next drive, then after that try 10 on the following drive. 9 is too low for 4 door Rubicon weight in my opinion. Better to climb 1 less dune, than having pop-out and damaging TPMS on every drive.
  2. Check the power steering oil level, if it's low, then the steering makes a humming and groan noise while steering under low speed. On highway speed pump pressure is high, so even a little low oil won't make any humming noise. Steering oil aka PSF - Power Steering Fluid.
  3. What you are doing is correct as settings: ESC - long press 7 seconds - complete off - Electronic Stability Control Module. 4H Part time in proper dunes is the best with 50:50 power split, as 4H Auto is for mild off-road where power shifts from 30:70 split to 10:90 (Front:Rear) based on your speed. Ideally, you should always drive an auto car in D, as much as you can to stay focused on track and techniques. That's how car automatics learn and improvise to serve you better over long run. Driving all the time in a manual, you will mostly over-run the gears and generate more heat for transmission oil. Use manual (mostly 1st gear) for long hill climbs. Now scenario for long hill climbs differs from Shj and Dxb VS AD. So for moderate size of dunes (Shj and Dxb) 1st gear should be mostly enough. For huge dunes like in AD, you should start with 2 second gear: Either continue in 2nd gear, all the way up. OR downshift to 1 when RPM drops below 4K and but before 3K. You can also try that infamous "off-road" button on your Rubicon on such difficult climbs, as some owners reported that optimizes gear response, but the actual truth is yet to be discovered.

  10. Doing first FB+ in Nahil isn't a good idea tbh, especially after the holiday gap. You can test your skills in other areas first for safety reasons. Nahil with steep climb, soft ridges, big bowls can be overwhelming.
