Are there any mods that would make your top 5 that weren't in the list? 🤔

Cold weather camping, line your chair with a high density foam bedroll. Start at the front at the ground and go up behind where your knees would be across the seat and up the back the excess just stays rolled up at the back. Keeps you beautifully warm at the campfire.

You should heed your own advise and fit some rated recovery points at the front of your vehicle.

Informative and well presented! An additional pieces I would add, if you are buying a used 4WD - do a service. The previous owner might say it's been regularly serviced, but last thing you want to do is being stuck on your first trip due to a simple service. Also, check any previous 12V set ups & be sure there are fuses on the lines. Finally, take a small spares box with key pieces that will get you out of trouble!

Sort of good video. The actual order is; 1 recovery points. 2 recovery gear. 3 diff breathers. 4 Suspension up-grade to specific tyre size and type. 5 Specific tyres for your choices. After that, snorkel then Bullbar, towbar, whinch, lights, side and reverse lights, 12 volt system upgrade. After that it really depends upon the defecits of your particular vehicle. Sorry for re-arranging your day, but lets face it; I know far more about this stuff. Keep hanging in there and doing though. Cheers.

Great list! having good tyres and recovery points are a really good start imo. I think if you have a modern diesel, a second fuel filter/water seperater would be high on the list.

Rated in relation to what? The bolt holes in your chassis is what i would want to know the rating of first. Can have a 50,000lb recovery point but when you bolt that into something that can only handle 5000lb it kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it?

Thanks Reg! Regarding the Dune tent, I still love it and it's served me well over the years throughout some of the most intense weather I've ever camped in. Here's a link to my latest review of it if you haven't seen already: kzitem.info/news/bejne/s52wqa6dgKNyeaA

No worries at all, I certainly do love the quick setup/packdown times of the Dune. I just realised I never answered your question about alternatives. If not for the Dune, I'd probably look into the Drifta hard shell, my friend has one and loves it but it's a fair bit more expensive than the Dune. 🙂

Do you mean how it's connected to the vehicle? This bar (and most other types) are bolted to the chassis with high-tensile bolts. This particular ARB bar saved the front-end of the vehicle many times during my trips after hitting wildlife at 100kp/h with no issues. 👍
