@Islam Soliman  Car switch.com, was peace of mind and they were good, when I sold my previous car.

Reviving this out of genuine curiosity.

Has any of Wrangler owner ditched BF Goodrich and switched to lighter AT tires like Geolandars or LTX force?

• BFG weighs 30 - 35 kgs
• Geolanders: 18 kgs
• LTX Force: 19 kgs

If anyone has done that, you might not need 4L for hill climb as bigger and heavier tires are counter-productive for sand dune - long hill climb.

Now you solving my other problem of the engine bay light to seeing red and black terminals at night

Super Safari has CAN BUS ? 
all this time I thought my car to be ancient, with the three switches (always on / off / on via door) would be done via simple wiring. 

I don't know that, but long ago one of my friends installed a simple LED bulb in his car and brought the same 5-10 dhs LED bulb and showed me how to replace it, it was super easy and quick to make a big diff.

We def need magnetic cars for offroading

Have u tried Shamil (at Emarat) in Nad al hamar, the best passing center I found?

Thanks @Prithvi Raj for adding to this list.

Let's compile a list of toxic or unsafe plants (fruit or shrubs) found in the UAE Desert while offroading.

• Desert lemon-looking plants are called Desert Squash (Citrullus colocynthis) (Handhal).

So, Frederic got this knack for dreaming up cool adventures and he's earned titles like "Master Planner" and "Creative Genius" for it. Every season, he surprises us with new ideas, and we're lucky and grateful for adventurous souls like him who lead us with such cool combo concepts.

I totally missed out on the 7 Emirates drive, but luckily, I managed to jump into the Scenic Sand and Wadi Adventure last minute. Big shoutout to @Srikumar for letting me tag along in the car and enjoy those rare moments.

The turnout for the adventure was impressive, providing an excellent opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces at the expansive sabkha. That little mountain hike offered breathtaking views, reminding us of the joys of exploring on foot. Surely, Fredy, the master planner, selected the three convoy meeting points with similar intentions.

Navigating through the winding mountain paths amidst natural elements was truly mesmerizing. The whole convoy waiting for the sheep crossing was the cutest part, the second one was the farm full of black sheep, lol. Despite unexpected delays prompting Fredy to shorten the drive, I found myself hoping the drive would last longer - an indication of the sheer joy experienced, a rarity in off-roading.

Thank you @Frederic for your unwavering commitment, brilliance and efforts for multiple recces, and huge patience for handling multiple convoys for such a long drive.

If you find the cabin light let’s me know as that has been on my list.

Darkest cabin I’ve ever driven and makes finding stuff at night difficult 

Flip open the cover and replace the bulb with LED. It makes a big difference
