Recommended off-road gear
Before venturing into the off-road scene, make sure that yourself and your car are fully equipped to tackle the terrain. Here is the list of recommended off-road gear you’ll need to have in different scenarios.
It is worth mentioning that you should never venture alone in the desert.
Should you be in a situation where you need to be recovered by another car, or should you come across another off-roader who needs help in the desert, you will need some tools and equipment.
The list of equipment is non-exhaustive. However, based on our experience, we have come up with a list with recommendations.
The price range varies. We always advice not to go cheap since your safety depends on your kit. If you plan to be a regular in off-road, we would advise to “invest once and be safe”.
