Over many years of experience in 4×4 routes, through all kinds of experiences. Administrative and technical. Customs, ports, controls, hotels, terrain, water, mud, snow, dirt and dunes, we have gained experience in 4×4 trips. With the aim of saving headaches, money on breakdowns and above all the inconvenience of having technical problems during the route, we give you a series of tips so that you can be the best traveler.
Good spare parts should always be used, and most of the time, original spare parts are the best. Cheap is expensive.
It is very effective to put a skid plate.
Have a battery disconnector or have a wrench on hand that allows us to remove a terminal.
We hope we have helped you with these little tips. In other emails we will tell you what we think about vehicle preparations and what should be carried in them.
Check levels
Tire pressure: Inadequate tire pressure, apart from creating insecurity in the vehicle, accelerates tire wear.
Check that the batteries are properly secured, vibrations can loosen the screws and, if there is movement, they can be damaged.
Acular inspection of leaks under the car, detect any fluid leaks and repair them, avoid costly repairs
Warm up and cool down the 4X4 thoroughly, especially on diesel engines:
Do not make sudden maneuvers, do not force the steering wheel, it is better to make three maneuvers than two.
Use the reduction gear whenever necessary, the clutch will thank you.
Clean the car of mud, especially the underbody, mud dries out all the rubber and sinenblocks.
Air filter, keeping it dirty reduces power
Brakes, wearing them out damages the discs
Timing belt (120,000 kilometers or according to manufacturer)
Sinenblocks are essential elements for vehicle twisting, keeping them in good condition prevents all types of breakages.
Raise the 4×4 on a lift and have a good mechanic check for possible cracks.
Check and replace if necessary the fluid in:
Grease cardan shaft
Check shock absorbers
Air Filter
Oil filter
Fuel filter
Battery terminal
Tubes (power steering, etc.)
Engine oil
Power steering fluid
Valvulin
Copy of car keys
Passport with 6 months of expiration.

Registration permit.
License if the vehicle is not in the name of the driver.
Green card from the insurance.
