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:

Hi Vanessa

Looks like we might be on track for a Jeep-fest:

1) Jeep Wrangler YJ 1995 Manual

2) Absolutely none - I signed up for a absolute newbie drive back in June just after I bought the car but withdrew as I didn't feel comfortable enough driving the car 

3) yes 

In terms of tools, the previous owner left lots of things in the rear door but I have no clue what most of them are but know I have a deflator, pressure gauge and compressor.
