When we are off-roading, what 'extra' precautions should he be taking? Not airing down at all? Airing down only a little bit? Stay clear of rocks and stick to mud and trail obstacles? Or. . . ???

 

Aside from our test run at "The Mounds" in Michigan next week, i'm definitely hoping that at least an experienced member or 2 (likely from our new GTA Facebook Group) will be with us on our first few runs to give us pointers and teach us how to properly find 'lines' etc. :D

 

- Leave a note with time of return and destination. Should you not return on time folks will know where to look..
- Never go alone (always at least 2 Jeeps that is)
-Take your time and enjoy the ride
- Go slow
- Use common sense
- If you get to a tough area, someone get out and spot for you
- If you are not sure, don't try
- Watch some youtube wheeling vids its amazing what you can pick up.
- Lower pressure will help on rocks and climbing, soft sand
- regular forest roads and trails regular tire pressure (on a 35 it will be around 28psi)

If you don't have winches at least bring recovery straps and the necessary D rings and such to attach safely.
2 way radio or CB if you are in an area with no cell service.
Maps, compass, and GPS for navigation. Do not count solely on a GPS
Small Shovel, Axe, and appropriate jack..
Small compressor capable of re inflating tires.
A survival pack or Bug out bag in case you get stranded..
First Aid Kit
Basic Tools for trail fixes.
