The Camel Trophy, regarded as the Olympics for Land Rovers and the ultimate exhibition of 4x4 vehicle and driving prowess. This event was held annually from 1980 to 2000 and was a showcase of the capabilities of Land Rover vehicles traversing challenging terrain. It has a special reputation among Land Rover aficionados, particularly those keen on off-road adventure. Because the Camel Trophy was the off-road adventure.
For those aspiring to go on similar expeditions, revisiting Camel Trophy events can serve as a useful reference for the successful preparations they must undertake before their 4x4 adventure. From the right equipment, to developing the necessary off-road driving skills, to Land Rover maintenance and field repair capability, the Camel Trophy has a lot to teach us. As your Independent Land Rover Complete Service Center, our focus is naturally on the importance of maintaining and servicing Land Rovers so that they will be in their best condition when your journey begins. Here is how our Glendale service center can ensure your vehicle is ready for its next adventure.
Land Rover Maintenance: Essential Preparation for Your Off-Road Adventure
Camel Trophy participants took their Land Rovers to the edge of the world, to remote places with inhospitable environments and nigh unpassable terrain. They had to ensure their vehicles were in their best conditions prior to heading to those places. They couldn't afford to forget to change oil or replace fuel filters, it wasn't like they could find service centers in the middle of the jungle.
While your off-road adventure may not be as drastic as those of the Camel Trophy, it still pays to be prepared. It would be quite embarrassing to take your Land Rover out, all ready and excited for some off-road thrills, only to have it towed back home because its batteries need replacing.
So before you go on your next off-road excursion, inspect the following:
But before you roll out, it would be best to schedule a Land Rover tune up at your local Independent Land Rover Service Center in Glendale, Los Angeles.
You don't want your Land Rover's battery running out of juice on you, especially when you are off-road. Check to see if your Land Rover battery is showing signs that replacement is necessary. Remember when it was last replaced and if it's due for another replacement.
Your Land Rover will need to grip the ground and have sufficient traction. Don't go off-roading with worn down tires. The Independent Land Rover Complete Service Center offers tire maintenance and tire replacement.
It goes without saying that navigating treacherous terrain will require properly maintained brakes. If you notice your brakes acting up on the road, it will be much more problematic when you are off-road. So have your brakes maintained before your next trip.
To overcome challenging terrain your Land Rover's engine will need to perform at full power, so be sure it has fresh and clean oil so it can operate safely and optimally.
These are just some of the essential services offered at the Independent Land Rover Complete Service Center. Give us a call or pay us a visit, be sure your Land Rover is ready for its next adventure!
