This is why CZcams is so useful. As a newer jeep owner I can't get enough of these tips vids. Gotta appreciate the people that took their time to make them.
Tip #11: There is no shame in turning around if you do not feel comfortable with the situation. Offroading can be overwhelming if you're new to it, and it can be hard to be the one to turn around or skip a part of a track if you're driving with friends. But thats ok. Panel damage suuuuuuuuucks!
If in doubt check it out... best advice ever. In the wet regions I carry a walking stick to check for depth of water before fording or traversing water obstacles.
Excellent. A couple more... When dropping down a steep hill and your Jeep dips causing you to fear a rollover, do not stab the brakes BUT turn in the direction of the dip. It's counterintuitive, but realize when your wheel makes contact and your rear is in the air, the jeep will drive in that direction as opposed to the wheel turned harshly to the opposite, aiding in the rollover as a "pivot point". If its too steep, gravity will win, however I'd rather be in this guy's jeep than a super high center of gravity, 4 inch lifted crawler.. The opposite is true for a steep hill climb with a sliding front end (turn opposite of the slide) if uncontrolled. Always try and reach out to other jeepers I don't care if it's a wrangler X stripped to the bone. We all have the same problem, lack of wingman when wheelin. Even the so called clubs are somewhat stagnant for various reasons. Never let someone else tell you where to drive or what to drive over. If you are not comfortable with it, Don't do it. They aren't going to help with the repair bill. Lastly... Never rush. Think of it like golf.. Let the blowhard Super wheelers "play through". The true jeepers will help and encourage.
Tierhog you my friend are a genius. Thanks for pointing that out. Saved me all the typing. You said it perfectly well. And it apply to ANY car when they start 3 or 2 wheeling it. Thanks man
Do not drive on hiking trails or bike trails. People who do that cause trail and road closers. Respect the track don't distort it. Respect keeps roads and areas open for public use.
"When in doubt, check it out." I almost learnt that the hard way when I was 18 years old and blasting on the scrambler on a Sunday afternoon. I was charging towards a big soil bank with the idea of jumping over it. Just before I hit the bank the little voice said: Stop! Look! I did, and found that big bank was the excavations for a very, very deep hole.
The Rookie MVP piece of gear....Portable Winch (come alongs, puller or Master Lock electric)- They are cheap, versatile, and handy. Recovery gear, shovels, and prybars/axes etc, are a must! Great video! You addressed some issues and got people thinking and adding to the comments!
Great advice, buddy, especially #3 (don't floor it). There are countless videos of people flooring it (in 4x4 Hi, too), resulting in broken CVs, shafts, axles, etc. So much stress on vehicle parts. It's all about the 4-Lo crawl! Nice video!
All good tips and I hope everyone follows them. I am an old Jeeper and still do not have a much needed item you do, a winch. I would advise even newbies to get one. I had one on an older Jeep that I used on my farm/ranch and they are very handy even here in East Texas. I have done 4 wheeling in Co. so remember guys going up hill have the right of way. Be careful, go slow, be courteous/helpful and have a good time. Joining a local will help you a WHOLE lot as you never know when you'll need help on the trail.
These are good tips. As someone who also wheels a stock jku sport, I got some tips from other people when i go with the forums. 1) use 4low on longer descends, it keeps you more in control of your speed. You use your breaks less, and it keeps your trans cooler. 2) know what the traction control system can do. bonus (learnt from my dad towing dirtbikes to riding spots behind 4x4's in a e30) When you feel like you are starting to loose traction(and dont have tcs), you can pull up the hand break 2 or 3 clicks, and that will help fool the diff thinking the loose tire has traction.
Totally agree but to be fair, I think he is at least showing us that you can still do some light off-roading with highway tires and don't have to spend $500 after you buy a new vehicle.
@@andystegner I believe with street tires you’re asking for a flat on anything past dirt roads. Even airing down. Brings the sidewall down and can over heat it. I have falken wildpeak at3w tires and they are designed to be aired down and the side wall not get punctured. I would air down to 15psi on the beach.
20 still isn't really airing-down. I typically run about 13 if doing any kind of obstacles. I suppose if you are just doing fire roads 20 could be ok, but it really doesn't give you much more tire patch than 30psi.
The first time your big balls get you stuck in the middle of nowhere and you have to either walk several miles out to get help, or wait and hope someone comes along, you'll figure out what the big deal is. If you're lucky, you wont be stuck pinned under something or bleeding... I guess it depends on how big those balls are.
Fundamentalist American, I agree with you, but for a beginner, I have to agree with Bryan. Your experience, I would guess, has taught you to bring food and water, fire starting gear, and likely an array of self-recovery equipment. A beginner hasn't learned that yet. I have wheeled alone for many decades, but I started out with friends and learned after many trips what I need to have in order to be self sufficient. I go overboard and have a 60" hi-lift, hand winch, bumper winch, 200+ feet of chains and cables, straps, on board air, full size shovel, axe, pick-axe, food, water, propane torch, cash, and a 45. And I keep rain gear and warm clothes in there year-round. I do like being alone out there, and I accept the risks, but I minimize them. It is still best to have two rigs, but not always an option.
Don't wheel alone definitely. Plus you made a huge newbie mistake. Don't stop on a hill and get out to check what's over the hill. Never trust ebrake or gears to hold your vehicle.
Great tips- when in doubt, check it out! Scouting over hills is also good, provided no one is coming. Maybe stop, listen, then scout ahead and fly a warning flag. Good points too about navigating off camber slopes as head on as possible and of course, airing down the tires.
Re: Never wheeling alone. I don't quite agree, but never go anywhere unless you are ASSURED you can back out of it. That is, don't take chances alone. IF you're considering going across a wash, be sure it can be done--walk it first. And so on.
You can put your strap in the receiver and then use the pin . I have seen a 2001 forerunner (4300 lbs ) hit the end of a 18000 lb strap at over twenty mph for years sometimes pulling 7000 lb trucks out and never bend a pin
Pretty good list. I am not sure I would hook a winch line up to the back of my receiver. The hook should be secure and I just don't see a way to secure it to the back of the receiver. Airing down is spot on except go lower. Like a lot of people have said, 15lbs is okay. It makes the ride smoother, gives you better traction AND makes it harder to pop the tire. Think of how much easier it is to pop a balloon that is full, same with tires. You didn't mention being on designated trails. Everyone, please stay on the trails.
I just got a 2008 grand Cherokee 4x4 trail rated idk what trail rated mean but great tips I never had a 4x4 vehicle so I'm new great tips good to know now what to do and what i need next time thank you😎✌
nalgasdehule No, that's what it meant a long time ago but these days a 'trail rated' Jeep just has to meet certain standards of off-road capability. The rating hasn't had anything to do with the rubicon trail in a very long time.
Great tips! Obviously , a lot of people will have their own list and their own way of doing things, but I think you hit all the big ones (although, I agree with others that the first one should be to not go alone).
The first time I went off-roading with my JK at my family's ranch I went at it alone (big mistake). Even though I know that place like the palm of my hand, the terrain changes and sometimes you think you know how to handle everything but its more complicated. I took a very rocky downward slope at a bad angle and I messed up the bumper, I didn't even noticed until I arrived at my house haha, but those things happen and you should be careful.
So if you come up to a rock that your street tires with 30 psi can't deal with, use your strap and pull it out of the way. Don't worry about other Jeeps that will come along and wish they had more obstacles. It's all about you. Is that what I heard????
Another tip, use ziptie or a piece of wire to secure the bolt/pin of your shackle. I ignored this tip and I lost one on the highway in Nevada, lucky for me there was no one behind me. It could have cost me big time.
AB Overland yeah I was pulling a pick up to a resort. When I was talking off my strap I notice a 1/2 inch tear in it. ABN Tow Strap with Reinforced... www.amazon.com/dp/B01CUXRJ6M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I personally think it’s a great strap for how much it cost and the size of it Fits in my passenger seat compartment in my 3rd 4Runner. It’s a 2”x30’. I was able to get 10 pulls with it.
Thanks for this video! I have an ‘03 Tacoma and I just through some Fox 2.0’s on and putting some Deaver springs on next along with some Total chaos UCA’s. She’s been an everyday driver for the past three years and I’ve been itching to off-road with her but don’t want to be the only newbie on a trail with 20 other guys. The fire trail makes a lot of sense. Kind of like training wheels 😁 Liked and subscribed!
How I know I'm no longer a complete newbie, I knew all this. And specifically I almost learn the "if in doubt check it out" the hard way, went up a steep slope and the other side was a straight drop into bushes
Great tips. It's also very important to disconnect your sway bar links , gives you more tractions. Also airing down to 30psi is way to high. I have a 2 door Wrangler, I air down to 15psi.
Jim Bob that why it gives you more traction... more travel means the tyres stay in contact with the ground... giving you TRACTION. In saying that, it helps, it’s not that important
Watch the snatch straps rating. ARB is only rated for 10 pulls. If you pull it 5 times in one recovery, you only have 5 left before its not a snatch strap and is just a tow strap
Airing down, if u have an at tire u can safely without bead locks go down to 15 psi sometimes 12 if ur seriously hardcore about it. However u don't wanna do single digits without bead locks.
Tips vary. Opinions vary. Safety ideas can vary. Vehicle choices vary. Recovery gear varies. If you are a beginner to anything, gathering as much information about the topic in question before giving it a go. ;) Do not be afraid to ask questions. Do not let the trolls discourage you. :)
Ok, thing with airing down your tires. In most cases, i mean 99.8 percent, you will not need your tire pressure down at all. Specially if you are running on road tires! Side walls can actually rip if you hit sharp rock! So for people out there, do not air down!
Good list, but things I would add: Full 5 gallon water can. Extra transmission fluid if you have an automatic. Air compressor. Tool kit with basic hand tools.
Oh just a couple of more things from wisdom. One, get a good trail rated snatch block. This simple doubles your pulling strength. I burned up 2 or 3 winch motors (Ramsey winch) trying to get the winch to do more than it was supposed to do, like pulling big tractors out of mud holes, winching bush hogs from over 100 yards away that were mired in mud and the like. Believe me, you can buy several good snatch blocks for what a winch motor cost. Two, if you do like to go alone, crazy, get an extra 100 feet of cable, you'll need it; from experience you gain wisdom.
so how do you go about this safely ? like have them full psi at the gas station and take it out once you’re off-road on a slope ? what about when you are done off roading and need full psi to get back on the road?
@@nelsonbelson4849 well I had a 12v compressor that I used to hook up to the battery. But recently upgraded to a twin ARB pump that I hard wired into my cab. If you don't air down to go 4x4ing you need to rethink life haha

Rule number 1 should be: Never. Wheel. Alone.

Never? LOL. I've broken that rule at least 250 times...
Don't wheel alone definitely. Plus you made a huge newbie mistake. Don't stop on a hill and get out to check what's over the hill. Never trust ebrake or gears to hold your vehicle.
That recovery using the tow ball death story would make an excellent Myth-Busters episode.
Thanks for heads up on the ball hitch. Watched allot of videos on tips and your the first to mention.
One HUGE thing to mention is communication. This way if you ever get stuck, make sure you have some form of communication to someone.
Get off road tires bud. Don't want you to get stuck.

In the dirt bike world we say, "When in doubt, throttle out."
So if you come up to a rock that your street tires with 30 psi can't deal with, use your strap and pull it out of the way. Don't worry about other Jeeps that will come along and wish they had more obstacles. It's all about you. Is that what I heard????

Great tips. It's also very important to disconnect your sway bar links , gives you more tractions. Also airing down to 30psi is way to high. I have a 2 door Wrangler, I air down to 15psi.
The only thing disconnecting sway bars does is give your suspension more room to move, it does nothing to help traction.
Jim Bob that why it gives you more traction... more travel means the tyres stay in contact with the ground... giving you TRACTION.
In saying that, it helps, it’s not that important
Does disconnecting you sway bar work with independent front suspension?

😎👌
Nice job!
Did he say "30psi" is the lowest he would go? Keep going bud, 20-15 psi. I used to run 12 in the back and 15 in the front on the beach and dunes.
When using a snatch strap always use a dampner in case something breaks nothing will come flying through a window.
Great video!
Good video. Will help alot of guys who are new to this
Awesome video, thanks for it. Definitely good info.
Number one tip should be tyre pressure!
30 psi????? What haha 🙈 half that!
so how do you go about this safely ? like have them full psi at the gas station and take it out once you’re off-road on a slope ? what about when you are done off roading and need full psi to get back on the road?
@@nelsonbelson4849 well I had a 12v compressor that I used to hook up to the battery. But recently upgraded to a twin ARB pump that I hard wired into my cab.
