A bumpy, muddy, and rocky road would be a nightmare for some people to drive on, but for some, the rougher the road would be, the better it will be. Few off-roaders enjoy natural sceneries while some like to face challenges, take risks on unpaved surfaces and terrains. Campsites, landmarks, or monuments can be accessed via paved roads but to listen to nature or discover unexplored places, you’ll need to go off-road. Until and unless, you know what you’re doing or what you’ll do, it can be a great risk.
Basic Requirements to Go Off-roading
Whether you purchase a vehicle from used cars or driving a brand-new vehicle, there are a few requirements required to go off-roading which should be followed at any cost to make your ride safe and fun.
Tires
Driving across mud, snow, and water streams or mud-terrain requires complete suitable tire knowledge. Different environments require different tires. Tires made for mud-terrain(M/T) will make great noise on paved roads but if you experience its adventurous nature on loose stuff such as mud, snow, or dry sand, it’s a great option as it removes all of them
immediately. If you’re doing off-roading that is not that hardcore, an all-terrain tire would be a good option for beginners.
Additional Lights
Have you ever seen weekend warriors? With lights pointing in all directions? You don’t need to be one of them but all you need is a good pair of lights that have a good vision at night. In addition to this, auxiliary driving lights or spots/searchlights can be mounted on your vehicle to illuminate the front vision and surroundings. If these lights are incorrectly mounted, it can create difficulties in looking through the dark. There are many other necessary precautions such as traction control, suspension, emergency gear, locking differentials, air compressor, and 4wdhighx4wdlow mode that should be kept in mind before going offroad.
WHY OFFROADING?
Reasons can vary from person to person. People might want to experience the thrill due to certain reasons or some due to peer pressure. Some of them are discussed as follows:
Mood for Adventure
The need for adventure can never be denied. The off-roading, linked with tracks and trails make it a complete adventurous ride. Driving through the rough terrains with a properly equipped vehicle is a different kind of excitement for people with intense adventurous nature.
Finding Peace with Nature
Driving through a beautiful hill station or campsite with unpaved roads is a source of peace for all those people who love nature and want to have some rest from the hectic routine of contemporary life. When the world is facing a global pandemic, I’ll be super excited to go on such adventures to feel nature so closely and to breathe in pure air.
Improving your Driving Skills
As we all know, driving through terrains requires professional driving skills. For some off-roaders, off-roading allows them to improve their driving skills. This becomes the main reason why they do off-roading.
YOLO
Everyone would have listened to this axiom’ YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE’ hundreds of times in their life. It means that you only live once to enjoy life. Put yourself through risks to enjoy the other untold part of nature and challenge yourself to explore new things in life. So, then enjoy your life through bumpy, muddy, and rocky roads with a cold wind in your face while off-roading.

Since 2013, the off-roading trends have had a boom in Pakistan. This mainly got a push due to organising jeep rallies in such areas. Before such races, there are many used cars for sale in Pakistan that are modified especially for the event. Off-roading legends like Nadir Maghsi, Sultan Mehmood, Salma Khan, and others have played their vital role in making
such rides a trend.
