Frederic Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good morning @Desert Wrangler@Ahmed Mostafa @aaron kamalland welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! I am looking forward to meeting you all coming Friday morning. In the meantime please send a small introduction here below with the following: 1) Which 4x4 are you driving ? 2) Do you have any prior offroading experience ? If so please indicate where and what.. 3) Is your 4x4 equipped with front and rear towpoints ? This is a necessity and they should be in perfect condition. For your first offroad drive it's sufficient to bring a pressure gauge and tire deflator so you can deflate your tires before heading into the sand. If you have more offroad tools please also bring them along. A compressor to inflate your tyres will also be necessary as we are exiting near a petrol station that has no compressor. Please watch the below Absolute Newbie briefing video below as this contains all the essential information to prepare yourself for your first offroad drive: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING When it comes to tools, we have the following article: Please use this topic to raise your questions, doubts, queries. We are here to help ! 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron kamall Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi Frederick, I’m looking forward to it! I’ll be driving a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. I did one lap of an off road circuit in the mud in the UK so I don’t think this really counts! Front and rear tow points are in good order and I’ve got a tyre gauge and deflator as well as a compressor. Aaron 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi one further question please...any recommendation for a walk-in talkie and place to purchase? I have a basic Motorola set that is used for skiing and not sure if this will suffice? Thanks, Trent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning @Trent and welcome as well ! With regards to the radio, you can have a look at below article. I think the basic motorola set you are referring too is a Motorola TLKR model which has the PMR446 frequency range. These will work for the 4 channels we use in Carnity, but not for all. You are welcome to bring the radio coming Friday so i can have a look at it. In general we recommend the following models, as they have the option to enter any frequency: 1) Motorola or Crony MT777 2) Baofeng UV5R You will find the programming instructions in the below article as well: 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."
