Club 4X4 Review – Andre Alexander

The kit that came with the car is built for a world where the ambulance is ten minutes away. Here's what a real 4WD first aid kit needs for remote travel: the base checklist, the snake bite gear most kits skimp on, the remote-area extras, and where to keep it so you can actually find it.

A factory TPMS only watches the four tyres on your 4WD.
