So, you have just purchased your 4x4 and are all excited to set out on an off roading adventure. Sounds fun and not to forget pretty exciting! When talking about off road 4x4 means just hitting any kind of terrain that possibly exists on the face of this earth. A 4x4 is undoubtedly designed in a way to face any weather as well as road condition. But, if you are beginner, then there is a possibility that you can injure yourself and those accompanying you. There are some rules that when followed will completely ensure that you indulge into nothing but safe off roading. So, it's time you have a close look at the tips mentioned below, to ensure you remain safe and enjoy every moment with your 4x4.

  • Before you set out on your adventurous trip, dedicate some time to see what lies beneath your 4x4. Every vehicle has a few points that are very delicate, hang near to the ground (are low). These are the points that are exposed to damage. Learning more about these will make sure that you stay aware and keep away from damaging them.

  • Once you are familiar about your off road 4x4, it's time to hit the trail. When off roading, don't expect the trail to offer a smooth ride. Nature can be pretty uncertain and is filled with risks. You will be unaware of what lies ahead on the terrain, which is why it is advisable to stop at certain period and walk ahead to assess what you will be facing next. Be sure of testing the depth of water and in case you don't there is always a possibility of sinking rather that crossing the water body like a movie star.

  • You may want to push the paddle a little too much, just for some adrenaline rush while racing over obstacles, but speed can ruin the whole fun in a jiffy. Driving slowly will be an intelligent decision, which will ensure you don't roll your 4x4 or get stuck in an obstacle.

  • Don't experiment with your driving skills till the time you are very sure about them. Always drive straight up/down and avoid taking any quick turns, which can result in a rollover.

  • Always pack a kit that has all the essentials before setting on an adventurous trip in your 4x4. There have been times when even experienced drivers have got stranded. The kit should have essentials like petrol, a strong rope, shovel, emergency beacon, two way radio, food and water. Make sure you have a detailed map of the area you are out to explore. GPS has definitely made things easier, but there is a possibility it can get damaged.

So, it's time to crank the starter, shift the gear and head out on an audacious journey like never before, while you feel the thrills of four wheeling.
