    Feeling like I got my moneys worth from the skid plate but the original shop could have used stronger bolts. They used standard hardware bolts.

    Rear bolts sheared right off. After some help from Davie, Mike and Rob we got it off and I had to exit the drive because the entire front suspension was now exposed. Glad at least 3/4 of the drive was done.

    Great start after another night of heavy rain.

    All back in place again. The shop re-threaded the skid plate and anchor points, and used stronger bolts and nuts than the other shop did.

    Not often that my car gets this much attention from others. 🤣

    That was a really good drive in somewhat different sand conditions for us. I had a small problem in my front right wheel well to sort out early in the drive and the after about 3 hours the rear bolts on the skid plate sheared off. As it turns out, the skid plate was good quality but the bolts were standard. Thanks @Davie Chase, @Rob S and @Mike M. for helping me get the skid plate off. I have set aside your straps and will give them back to you next time I see you on the sand. I've posted some pics in the gallery. Have a great week ahead everyone.

    Guessing it was a shape stone as we were all travelling at a relatively good speed on this track and no one else had a rupture. If I recall, and Jerome can confirm, he said he thought it was the track that was making the noise. By the time I saw the tire and radioed to him there was much damage already like this.

    Thank you @JeromeFJ for a great morning out in the big dunes of Abu Dhabi and for the feedback. Good to meet you @DanielN and @Gautam Banka and to drive with you again @Abhilash Kottakkal. Have a great rest of the weekend and week ahead.

    This was a good learning opportunity for us. What looked like an easy fix turned out to be more challenging. After attempts to raise the FJ high enough to put the spare on failed because we couldn't get enough height we moved it over to the sand, raised it, and dug under the wheel to make room for the spare.
