In the class we will cover basic information about 4WD vehicles (just enough to understand what is going on). We will cover a lot of safety and environmental concerns. But the largest part of the class is driving technique to get you through a variety of terrain. A handout of the material covered is provided. Here is a list of items we will cover: Off Road Vehicles, How 4WD Works, Driving Technique, Safety, Pre Run Check, Survival &amp; Peace of Mind Kits, Options &amp; Accessories, Overview of options for getting unstuck, Post Trip maintenance, Trail Etiquette &amp; Tread Lightly.<\/p>\n<p>The class does not address vehicle build-up options and issues.<\/p>\n<p>This class is a prerequisite for Getting Started Off-Road Driving &#8211; Day 2.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"888\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/getting-started-driving-off-road-clinic-san-diego\/olympus-digital-camera\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?fit=447%2C336&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"447,336\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;E-300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1159705113&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;30&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?fit=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?fit=447%2C336&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright wp-image-888 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?resize=300%2C226&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?resize=300%2C226&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/AnzaClinic6.jpg?w=447&amp;ssl=1 447w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The class will answer these questions and many more questions:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you avoid damage to an expensive vehicle?<\/li>\n<li>What is the critical difference you need to understand about operation of 4WD systems?<\/li>\n<li>What do you need to avoid, when descending a steep Hill?<\/li>\n<li>What impact does an automatic transmission have on off-road driving?<\/li>\n<li>How can you improve your traction by 250%?<\/li>\n<li>How deep can you safely cross water?<\/li>\n<li>What is the most important safety item you can bring?<\/li>\n<li>What are 10 ways to effect vehicle recovery?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each vehicle will receive a copy of Jim Allen&#8217;s Book &#8220;Four-Wheeler&#8217;s Bible&#8221;.

(This means there&#8217;s an additional shift lever or knob that&#8217;s labeled 2H, 4H, 4L or a button labeled Center Differential Lock.)<\/li>\n<li>At least one recovery point (factory hook or welded eye) on the <strong>front<\/strong> and one on the\u00a0<strong>rear<\/strong>.\u00a0 (A factory-installed 2&#8243; receiver on the rear is acceptable.)<\/li>\n<li>Rock sliders are recommended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All wheel drive vehicles that do not have a 2 speed transfer case are not appropriate for the class. Two examples of vehicles that are not appropriate for the class include Subaru Forester and the Honda Ridgeline.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect some pin stripping on this day.<\/p>\n<p>The class is about 4 hours of classroom and 4 hours of behind the wheel practice. Everyone has a lot of fun. It is a great way to learn about your vehicle and build confidence. The class is limited to 10 vehicles.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Satisfaction Guarantee<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are not satisfied and do not feel you received good value for your money and time, send us an email explaining why and the full price of the class will be refunded, no questions asked.<br \/>\nYou may keep all handouts as our apology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing<\/strong><br \/>\nWe charge per person including passengers since we feel everyone attending, riding, watching, etc. learns a great deal.<br \/>\n( <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4x4training.com\/w\/terms-conditions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Badlands Off-Road Adventures Terms &amp;
