In the forum, he wrote that he did some modification for his Jeep JKUR and got help from Rebel Off Road. At first he just wanted to built a lift kit as simple as possible, but then he decided to do some drastic changes to make his Jeep becomes reliable when it comes to face off-road driving form like deserts.

Tips and Trick for Off-roading in Dunes Driving Form

There are so many off-roading forms for off-road enthusiasts to try around the world. However, those off-roading forms does not mean appropriate for all off-roaders in any kind of levels. For example, it is not good for beginners in off-roading world to take rocky crawl track since they do not used to that kind of driving form and that probably will harm the beginners. That is why it is important to be selective in choosing off-roading forms.
For those off-roaders in intermediate level in off-roading world, they probably will choose off-roading forms which are more challenging than trail driving form. For intermediate level, it is allowed to choose the dunes driving form. Before that, you have to make very good preparations. Since you are going to have your off-roading experience on dunes, it is better for you to choose Sand Tyre. The car that may be used is four wheel vehicle with air compressor and tire gauge intact. If you had those things, then you may start your off-roading experience on the dunes right away.
It is better for you to choose the dunes with 4x4 accessible marked. You also have to make sure that you have deflated the air pressure in the tires between 15 and 20psi. By deflating the air pressure, the sand will accept the traction in tires easily. If you are driving on soft sand, do not try to slow down your ride unless you have to. There is a possibility that you will get stuck when moved your ride. If that is happened, please do not be panic. You are suggested to turn your wheel to the right and to the left repetitively. Those actions will allow the tires to have fresh terrain and get its better traction so you will move again smoothly. If the dunes driving form getting you bored, you are allow to have another off-roading forms as long as you make a very good preparation to do the driving.

Off-roading Tips and Tricks for Beginners

It seems common sense nowadays when we saw 4x4 cars drive along the way on road rather than off road, even there is a possibility that those 4x4 cars never taste the joy of off-roading. It is a shame if those off-road cars spend their entirely life for driving safely on road. Being an off-roader does not mean you will risk your life by driving on a very challenging and rocky trail. As long as you know how to control your car, everything will run smoothly. No matter what the tracks are, you will have a good journey as long as you know very well about how to control your ride, either it is on road or off road. After all, in order to become a successful off-roader, you have to prepare yourself thoroughly and how to stay save.
Since off-road driving has several forms, from trail to a very challenging rocky crawler, you have to think smart to handle those off-road driving.  If you are a newbie in off-roading road, you will have to think hard what tracks suit you best for your beginner soul. As a beginner, you will have to prepare yourself very well and stuff your off-road car with necessary items. The next thing you have to do is choosing the least dangerous and challenging track for your driving. The best and the most suitable track for beginners is trail driving.
Trail driving is known for its simplest and safest track for off-roading. To do your off-road driving on the trail, it is better for you to drive your four wheel vehicle and it is also better for you to use these terrain types, such as Gravel, Dry Dirt, or Grasslands. After completing the necessary equipments to do your trail driving experience, the next thing you have to do is doing some research about the availability of trail track in your area. Before you moved to another level of difficulty, you have to get used to the trail driving first. You have to feel comfortable on your trail off-roading and have fun with that. Do not try to do any steep climbs, water crossing, or sharp descents because you or your off-road car machine probably cannot take those challenges yet. After you are getting better and better with trail driving, you may move on to another driving form which is more challenging and difficult than trail driving form.

An Off-road Car Modification: The Former School Bus, 1992 Chevy 1500 Suburban, Turns Into Super Suburban Off-Road Car


It seems a common sense when people think about off-road cars, they will refer to it as a very unique cars and in the end can make anyone speechless. If the owners modify their off-road cars amazingly, others will envy them for having 4x4 and start to take an interest toward it. The living example of this case is Doug Hampton from Pagosa Springs, Colorado, who owned 1992 Chevy Suburban. The Chevy itself is a former school bus with its shocking yellow color and the very big size so people will easily notice it.
When Easter Jeep Safari was held in 2012 in Moab, Utah, Hampton’s Chevy stood out very brightly and bigger than Jeeps which dominated the event at that time. With school bus size and its very bright color, it is no wonder that his Chevy left people around him slack-jawed and awed at the same times. It is known that his ride loaded with super amazing components. Some of them can be categorized as unusual components. The engine type of the Chevy is 5.9L 12-valve Cummins twin-turbo diesels.
Previously, the amazing off-road car spent its life as a school bus in New York. However, as the time went by, the school bus changed into a worthy off-road car with its components, such as Boatec front fenders and fiberglass hood. Auto hood pins functioned to hold the lightweight hood and the fenders pinned with two small bolts and four quarter-turn fasteners. However, the hood and fenders can be removed in only five minutes. Another modification that has been done by Hampton is the Chevy stock unit, so that it can be fitted rig’s tube chassis and Warn 16.5ti winch. The exterior modifications include front and rear receiver hitches and the lighting for the car like Pro Comp HID forward-facing and Hella rear-facing. Tractor lights functioned as rock lights that positioned under the truck’s front and rear.
