For those who have previously had some 4x4 training, build on the fundamental skills with more advanced techniques for traction, line analysis, trip planning, and recovery. This course is more demanding of both driver and vehicle—pinstriping and a skid plate work out are likely, so discussing your specific experience and vehicle set-up with an instructor is required before you book this. Though strenuous, the emphasis is safety and responsible trail use.

One-Day Course (5-6 hours)

Group course held at Table Mesa:
$169 per vehicle

Vehicle requirements: Non-stock rigs with 32” or taller tires (3-ply sidewall), skid plates, recovery points, lift, traction device recommended.
