1. I talk about the fun and
excitement of 4-wheeling.
|
2. No matter whether your
"goal" is...family camping fun,
|
3. group or club trips, |
4. camaraderie of friends, |
5. or, solitude and reflection in
the wilds... |
,
6. You might have modified the
suspension,
|
7. to install bigger tires for
more ground clearance,
|
8. to do tougher trails, |
9. in all types of weather, |
10. or kept your vehicle stock to
enjoy the scenic back country byways, |
11. that allow long vistas, |
12. or close-up views of
wildflowers...
|
13. No matter if you have a long
wheelbase rig, |
14. or short wheelbase, |
15. you will need to have the
proper equipment to be self-reliant. You might have
purchased a winch, a heavy duty winch bumper, and mounted a
Hi-Lift jack on it, |
16. installed dual batteries and a
heavy alternator...
|
17. You bought the winch accessory
kit,
|
18. carry a good assortment of 3/4
or 7/8 inch D-shackles,
|
19. and the Hi-Lift Jack accessory
kit, |
20. and learned how to set up the
jack |
21. including how to rig the chain
safely. |
22. A good set of tire chains that
are easy to install when in the deep... |
23. You carry the basic tools you
know how to use for repairs, |
24. spare lubes, hoses, belts,
tire fix-it, wheel bearings, u-joint, extra oil, |
25. air, fuel filters and tune-up
parts..and duct tape...
|
26. a good recovery strap or two, |
27. a good portable anchor like
this Pull-Pal.
|
28. You never know when you might
need a yank! |
29. The best thing to bring along
is a buddy to help guide over the rocks,
|
30. and check out the stream depth
(or mud hole). |
31. Watch your ground clearance on
the rocks, |
32. be aware of tire placement,
|
33. especially where the
"little-ones" are concerned. |
