Vanessa8580 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Good morning @Felix Obst @BHANU PRAKASH VISHWANATH @Gerrit Bus @Arijit Bhattacharyya @Neil Jarman and welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! I am looking forward to meeting you 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 ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
