4x4 Excursion Checklist: Always check your vehicle over prior to any 4x4 outing. Make sure all fluid levels are full and your vehicle's parts are all in working order. Bring maps so you don't get too lost and a cell phone or cb radio in case you do. Bring more than enough food, clothing and water just in case. And as always bring friends. It's always funner wheeling together and nice to have someone there to pull you out if needed. Think smart and have fun!
