Thread: Budget Family 4WD

Mudgripz has laid it out as well as anyone can.
Fit the basics and essentials first, then learn how to drive your 4wd off road,
Carry a means of self recovery, Spade/shovel grubber, handsaw etc.
Start simple before going crazy on the fancy stuff.
The big tyres, winches, 200 spotlights, lockers etc. probably aren't needed.
Learn to pick what equipment you need for different environments. Not all 4wding requires you to take all the gear you own.
A biggie is knowing how to use the gear you have, whether it be a winch, traction aids or a snatch strap.
Carry a good basic tool kit, spares parts, CVs, belts, fuses, tyre repair kit, spare oil and fluids.
Within our group of 4wds we have a good collection of recovery gear, But not everyone has every item, bar the basics. Any one with a winch also carries shackles, rope, tree protectors, winch extensions.
We have a mid 90s 3.0L Prado, with a bit of lift, 33 inch tyres, a recovery hook on each corner and some bar work for body protection (Quit often this doesn't work).
We often go a bit further off road in our small group and have lockers, winches rock sliders and a few other items to assist us. Often these items get us more stuck than unstuck.
