Hey Guys,

 

This is Krishna. An absolute newbie for off roading. The only off roading I have done is parking in Kacchha 

I have a 2009 Infiniti QX 56 stock.

Ground clearance is 9 inches.

Rear tow hook - Yes. Not sure about the front ones. Will check and update here.

 

Looking forward!

Is there any radio frequency we should be aware of , for this drive? I know radios are not mandatory but excited to try out mine for the drive. Haven't used one before so I asked the shop guy to tune/ set all 10 Carnity frequencies on the radio😁.
