2. Gear That Goes the Distance

  • Portable air compressor – Ideal for adjusting tire pressure before and after off-roading.
  • Basic tools & recovery straps – Just in case your trail adventure gets a little too real.
  • Power bank or car jump starter – Always be ready, especially if you’re camping off-grid.
  • All-weather gear – Conditions can flip fast. Be ready for anything.

3. Know Your Setup

Before you hit the road, make sure your gear and tires are working in sync.

  • Get a wheel balancing check—especially if you’ve added new gear or changed terrain types.
  • Schedule tire balancing and alignment if your ride feels off.
  • Check your load capacity—especially if you’re hauling tents, bikes, or a trailer.
  • Don’t forget to review your tire lifespan and wear patterns before heading out.
