Off-Road Tips and Techniques

Found these on youtube and thought they would be useful for new and veteran Jeep owners alike.

Off-Road Tips and Techniques

The first thing you need to know about off-roading is to "Tread Lightly" - make very little impact on the environment. Don't leave trash or anything behind and make sure to pick up any trash other people left behind. Stay on the Trail - because damaged & trashed trails give all 4x4's a bad name and give people a reason to close a trail. Then noone is happy.

I think those Aussies just like getting stuck, that's why they use those street tires out in the bush

Thanks for sharing.

I added a few of those Off Roading Tip videos on our Club website in 2007.


They are very useful with great tips.
