lol Right . Tow strap, Spare U-Joint, smokes, Water, tools...[sm=goodidea.gif]

 

dont forget the beer, we went through plenty of that when i went

 

well as long as you are not driving!! drinking and mudding do not mix....

 

Tear that bitch up i got a '00 blazer ZR2 and i rape that truck on the trails... the fun is well worthe the repairs!

 

I tend to drive it like i stole it too. But only when i have someone else to help me when i get stuck. The winch useally helps but if you break something and you'r left strandid it's nice to have a friend to drive you home to get your trailer or whatever your ganna use to get your rig home. Plus i have a shop to do all my own work and thats half the fun.

 

stones always work for proping the jack if ya don't take any boards with ya. Just be smart and if it don't look like you can get through it don't do it. Do what you feel you can handle. Especially if venturing by yourself on the trails. If you ahve a second vehicle you should be fine. but still be smart and don't go past your ablities

 

yep tools and tow straps the 2 basics i know ive needed both.
last time i went wheelin i was being stupid and trying to climb something way too big and ended up stuck. Had a friend drag me out but of course my exhaust caught a rock and ripped one side right off of the header and was dangling oddly enough i had a hack saw and took care of it. got pulled over for all the noise on the way home and while explaining why i was driving my truck like this the cop laughed at mystory and let me go with a warning since i wasnt far from home. all and all a fun time out and in the shop fixing it. hmm all this talk makes me want to go out again guess i know what im doing this weekend.

 

Doo Everything they already said, another suggestion for your off road kit would be a roll of georgia chrome (duct tape) misc hardware (nuts and bolts) and gods gift to the quick fixer upper....zip ties. better to be safe than sorry, i keet all this, a chain and a basic assorment of hand tool in my truck at all times, never know whats gunna happen. Also before ypou go off roading especially if its a new trail, GO SCOUT IT OUT. don't just plowing into a puddle off water assuming its 5inches deep. Even if you have gone down the trail still a good idea because where i live buffalo, the snow and ice have changed the trails since last season. just my 2sense.

 

Find a local 4wheeling club and join up.

Have fun. One day you will exceed yours and your trucks abilities. Hopefully all you get is stuck. Learn from it and move on.

 

Can't wait till i get to go Muddin' .. or Off-Roading.. i'd just have to travel to northern New York though..
