What You Should Bring on Your 4x4 for the Rubicon and Other Off-Road Trails

Necessary Equipment

  • HIGH LIFT JACK, This tool has a wide variety of uses including straighten out a frame, realigning front steering arms and can be used as a emergency tow bar.
  • AIR COMPRESSOR, before you start on the trail lower your tire pressure to improve off road capabilities. You will need to air back up at the end of the trail.
  • WINCH, RECOVERY STRAP, TREE PROTECTIVE STRAP AND D RINGS to mount into your bumper receiver hitch.
  • ICE CHEST for emergency rations. Follow this link for food suggestions. 
  • FIRST AID KIT

Overnight Camping Gear

  • TENT, not a two man tent really only sleeps one. The new popup tents are awesome and literally only take minutes to set up. 
  • SLEEPING BAGS, I'd rather be warm then cold I recommend 30 F degree. I also recommend rectangle shape bags. They are easier to get in and out of. If your traveling as a couple buy identical bags. You can zipper them togethier to form a queen size bag.
  • AIR MATTRESS, don't be cheap. The cheaper air mattress are usually thinner and are easily pierce by a trig small branch.
