Good afternoon @Nitin S @Naim Aoun @JamesThorn and @Simon Hope. Welcome to Carnity !

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:

Hi there, I'm Nick, total newbie, just bought a Dodge RAM. Will go and buy the tow hooks and compressor tomorrow! any hints on where to go?!

Ace, Speedex and any other offroad shop will have these hitch receiver like this. Just buy the rated one that should be engraved on it like 4+ Ton etc.
