What happened to LR??
Now I understand all the status qoue

No problems DOC, I understand that and it's nothing unexpected. I didn't say its limited to sand though hehehehehe, other "OFFROAD" terrains are well respected and require equal amount of care and expertese. :D :D My comment was different. :wink: :wink:

Look forward to see you with your new ride...

In addition to the required offroading gear, you will also need the following:

Tent
Inflatable metrices
Sleeping bags or blankets
Light lamp
Chairs
small table
Hummer
small water tank
Cooler
Garbage bags
BBQ set
First aid set.

All this you can find in Carrefoure & Ace Hardware.
