Thought I'd say hello and ask the usual beginner questions. My wife and I returned to Aus after a 10 year UK sabbatical. 7 years later and we are finally stepping back into the 4wd world. (Long gap I know.)
Our previous car was a Lada Niva, went more places than you might imagine. This time it's the three door Rubicon. Our target play areas are likely to be day and weekend trips, but likely involving increasing driver challenge as we settle back into the sport.
Question: what initial training would you recommend? We won't put a winch on for a couple of months. But would look to a "tirfer" or similar (hope that still means something). Don't need high end advanced training to start with, but would be useful if the course conditions suited a Rubicon.
and what recommendations for hand winch and basic recovery kit?
Cheers
