| 1st Time OffRoad |
When I became a Jeep owner back in 2013, I suddenly became overwhelmed with all the different accessories you could buy for your Jeep. Then, once I realized you could modify your Jeep, I didn’t know which direction to go.
Lessons Learned
In the years since, I have learned quite a bit from my experience,

There is so much out there, it’s good to have the basics to build upon.
Here are some starting points that you can build upon to have the necessary tools and equipment in your Jeep when you take it out on the trails.
5 Must Have to Be Prepared for Off-Roading
This doesn’t include everything, but a good place to start and build upon.
#1 Road Safety Kit
This should automatically be in your Jeep even if you don’t go off-roading. Some of the items in this kit are jumper cables, a jack, a lug nut wrench, road flares/glow sticks/warning triangle, fire extinguisher, tools for repairs, personal knife, Duct Tape, Tarp, Nylon Rope, and First Aid Kit.
#2 Airing Down/Up Kit
Tire Deflators, Tire Gauge, and Air compressor are the main items in this kit. I love my Tire deflators from J.T. Brooks. I just ordered the pro-series. The Air Compressor is a good idea if when you air down there is no place near to air up.
#3 Recovery kit
This kit can contain many items such as a tow strap, tree saver, shackles, bottle jack, Hi-lift Jack and more.
