My experience with cooper AT3 was noisy onroad, shaky handling above 110km that I once thought something broke under my car, and yes weak sidewall, had a fist size of bubble on one of the tires that I never had on HT offroading, which is very strange to me. But offroad it did give me more grip which I could clearly feel, and it has one of the best look among AT tires in my opinion now I have been using yoko geolander G015 since 40 drives back, around 20k kilometer on the dash. couldnt been more satisfied with the tire, moderate noisy onroad (cruising at 130-140kmh) almost no effect on handling. Never had one single popout, absolutely zero hassle tire to me, I run 8-10 psi with stock rim. Plus its cheaper than mainstream AT tire. The only con could the it looks just as gentle as a HT 😁. I see that Rydanz Raptor AT has been receiving positive comments, anyone has experience with it?

Congrats @Hisham Masaad, well deserved!

my shovel and jack are ready for deployment😈

Hi @Chaitanya D I have put myself in manage, hope you don't mind that

there is no leak, I disconnected the battery from both terminals for 3 days to check if it holds, and it didnt. and I cant find the warranty card anymore ☹️

I will definitely keep one spare battery in my car from now on.... my own daily's battery died without sign this week; my pathfinder's few month old battery seems to be defective that doesnt hold charge for longer than 3 days; see at least 1 case each weekend that someone's having battery issue battery's failure can be solved easily just by ourselves, but so critical that can stop a fully mechanically healthy car from running....

An IM drive that has everything I look for, short convey, competent drivers, fast pace, trackless desert with nice weather. and I could find the room for improvement which is very important to me. At initial part we stayed above 30km/hr average moving speed on the ridges only! and we completed the drive with 26.2km/hr average moving speed. Thank you @GauravSonifor the lead, and @Chinthaka Ruwan @Thomas Varghese @Looper for joining and support. See you soon back in sands!

Congrats Varun! Can't wait to join one of your drives 🙌🙌

Thank you Thomas and @Looperfor joining 😃😃😃, this drive will be a blast I'm sure

@Simon Dawood @Chinthaka Ruwan please dont leave the drive 😭, I think the minimum is 4 cars?

Not sure how much the mechanic put, but definitely enough to make the fan roar

My testimony on this: Cause: My fan clutch was dying few weeks back so I replaced with a new one and topped the silicone up. Observation: The fan is much louder than before and ofc no more overheating now in the peak summer 😃😃😃, finally feeling what's like to be a Toyota owner but still flooring the mighty VQ40DE engine. The downside: is obviously a bit lose of power, (feel more like an additional ac compressor is working), fuel economy not sure because Pathfinder is no longer my daily. But it is nothing compare to solving the overheating issue permanently. Experiment on extreme condition: Did IM with Ale few days back climbing dunes in Badayer in the afternoon, with ambient temperature of 47c at the start, no obvious overheating issue except the coolant temperature reached 100c at the first climb, the rest of drive was cool and temperature never reached beyond 95c including climbing extremely softened iftar super bowls, and few minutes of 4low maneuver on a slope with no wind. And I don't think any drive can be more extreme than this drive. Additional benefits for Pathfinder is that the gearbox will not disable locking in low gears as the gearbox is cooler too.

Congrats @Rajiv Sam for the promotion!

congrats @Ranjan Dasfor the promotion!

Congrats @munkybizness for the promotion!

Hi @Vanessa8580 Can I support the drive?

Hi @Kailas any chance of squeezing me in being the only drive of the week? Would love to support as well.😁

I was going to say "get well soon" but @M.Seidam 's healthy 27 years old body is well already with no symptom. Take more rest and get negative soon.

it was indeed an exhilarating drive. The most challenging part for me was the last bit of technical terrain, not only because the soft sand , tight turns and darkness caused troubles, but also because we all getting tired in late hours, thanks to the cigarettes from @Joseph Raju I was able to make it to the end without problems. Thank you @M.Seidam for the drive and happy 27th birthday!, thank you all the support, guidance and leadership, as always I am learning from you in every single drive, and hoping for more ! Nice to meet some new faces and the familiar ones, all of us were drove very well and everybody enjoyed the drive ( at least I did very much) , Till next time!

After reading this, I'm very tempted to take another newbie/fewbie drive in the second day morning, and minister of interior is staying at friend's place for the night 😶😶😶😶
