    Very interesting perspective from various masters and it is true that you learn something new everyday 👍

    congrats @Gaurav Soni

    There are quite a few FJ-ers here who can weigh in on the options that you have found or shortlisted.

    I will give this a try. I always thought I am the only one experiencing this as I open the 3rd door, at least 4 times a day.

    @Gaurav I am experiencing door lock rubbing or squeaking. It does not happen during the day when it is hot. Only at night or early morning. It will be more obvious in the next couple of months.

    @Niki thank you! I have not identified the rattle conclusively but I did suspect the rear door being the culprit. The video is a good review as it also talked about the infamous FJ lean!😆

    I have seen a lot of Marshalls and senior members driving on Geolandar. I am sure they are great tyres for the sand and highway because the compound would be the softest amongst all the 4 options. I am on Discoverer AT3 and I have been enjoying them for the past 3 years, compared to the stock tyres which were Grand Trek. On my AT3, I had 1 pop-out but it was due to panic and sudden left and right turn when I failed to cross a ridge and went into a soft patch of sand. The AT 3 are easy to balance and align and offer a pretty comfortable ride on the highway, not much difference compared to the stock Grand Trek.

    congratulations to all 👍 and I am honored to be named with all these illustrious photographers 😁

    I shall investigate further and update here if I discover anything new. I should check the left compartment where the stock jack is stored.

    Welcome to the club @Felix Obst I regularly drive with my son strapped in the backseat. You and your boys are the testimony of the importance of being properly strapped in. Happy off-roading

    Happy birthday @Kailas

    @Niki you are now being the devil to hold @Ahab Shamaa to the "happy spending" mantra 😆 Do any of the FJ-ers having rear door rattling issues ? I have been hearing some intermittent rattles from the rear. I have checked the suspension arms and what have you under the carriage and have cleared out my trunk to locate the source of sound. I deduced that it would be the tailgate door but still not 100% sure. Hence checking here for advice since some of you have mentioned that the lower hinge of the tailgate door is weak. As an FYI, except for the spare tyre (and flag pole), I do not mount anything on my tailgate door.

    @Nikiwhich Philips bulb did you opt for? I intend to do the same for my FJ. The stock ones are just not up to the job for night driving in the desert

    Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for showing us this part of the desert. It was a great challenge and steep learning curve. Pleasure and honor to have driven and met with the rest of the convoy members.

    Thanks for the great drive @Janarthan @Hisham Masaad@Zixuan Huang - Charlie This is my second visit to the Nazwa desert and it did not disappoint with the continuous flow of compact and smooth dunes and some patches of soft areas to challenge us. Hope to drive with you all again.

    @Ale Vallecchi I have signed up for this drive since there is still space. The preview is too tempting to pass.

    @Gaurav They told me that is the "company's policy because the wire needs to be cut for it to be mounted onboard" , which is the nuclear bomb of most arguments so I just let it be. I agree that a mounted unit should last longer due to the environment and you can't lend it to your friends or neighbours or colleagues.

    @Anish S@Wrangeld Thanks for the great drive yesterday. This was my first visit to Nazwa desert and I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

    @Niki I did consider making MM as the onboard setup but was informed by the dealer that the 5 years warranty will be revoked if I do that. They will honour the warranty period as long as it remain a portable unit. I will think about it since MM should be able to re-sell easily, as you said, due to the long warranty period.

    @Niki Like you, I also have a MM compressor, purchased 2-3 month ago. I am considering an onboard set up now. Did you manage to sell off your MM compressor with your recent conversion?

    Congratulations @munkybizness Enjoy your drives
