Before You Go Off-Roading

There are some things to do before you go out. For
example, be sure to have all necessary maintenance
and service work done. Check to make sure all
underbody shields (if so equipped) are properly
attached. Be sure you read all the information about
your four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle in
this manual. Is there enough fuel? Is the spare tire fully
inflated? Are the fluid levels up where they should
be? What are the local laws that apply to off-roading
where you will be driving? If you do not know, you
should check with law enforcement people in the area.
Will you be on someone's private land? If so, be
sure to get the necessary permission.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
There are some important things to remember about
how to load your vehicle.
•
The heaviest things should be on the load floor and
forward of your rear axle. Put heavier items as far
forward as you can.
•
Be sure the load is secured properly, so driving on
the off-road terrain does not toss things around.
