My parents were in a 4wd club in Brisbane many years ago. They used to meet at the mayne football club each month.

We did an I-Venture Club day down here in Adelaide, and the guy who runs them also runs a 4WD training company locally down here.  It was clear across the day that he knows his stuff, and he is very good an imparting that knowledge to others.  I would definitely recommend doing one of their 1 day events if they have one near you.

Even though they are Isuzu events, he doesn't blow smoke up your arse either, he acknowledges some of the limitations they have, but then goes through how you can work within them to get the most out of your vehicle.  I had done some basic 4WDing years ago, but my partner never had, and she felt a lot more comfortable giving it a go by the end of the session we did as well.

Certainly recommend a course with Dave Wilson from Adventure 4WD in Adelaide or any other 4WD training with someone familiar with the latest Isuzu.
We negotiated a one day's 4WD training with Chris Low of Offroad Training Australia at Jakem Farm, St Ives SA as part of the purchase package with the local Murray Bridge Isuzu and found it extremely useful in experiencing and understanding how to use and rely on the vehicle smarts such as hill descent and traction control, options not available in my earlier cars.  We're relying on these features, to get us through most situations without having to install expensive diff. locks.
But of course also join a 4WD Club for free ongoing training, especially in the safe use of snatch straps and winching and safely negotiating mud, side slopes and sand.
Alan.
