That's a good offer. It's important to keep tabs with which lanes are open and which ones you must avoid.

Main thing is that less power is usually better than more (unless you're at a P&P site) and that you need to keep your thumbs on the outside of the rim of the steering wheel. Hurts much less that way when the wheel kicks! Oh, and you usually don't bother with first gear when in low box. (low box is only really needed when the terrain gets really tricky). Don't select 4WD while on the road - only to be used when on loose surfaces or at very low speeds.

My advise before u go out off roading and lanning
Is get to know ur motor be confident in driving its size and make sure it's working ok fuel gauge works oils ok etc

Then the best and safest mod to do us throw a cb in it as its how we all communicate while lanning warning of hazards etc
U can do it without but u miss half the banter and wonder why the others are laughing about

These do good starter sets or try maplins
