The #1 ONF Skill

Driving in Florida sand is different than rock crawling.

Step 1: Air Down

Lower PSI increases footprint and floatation.

Step 2: Maintain Momentum

Not speed. Momentum.
Sudden stops bury tires.

Step 3: Smooth Steering

Sharp turns dig you in.

Step 4: If You Get Stuck

• Stop spinning immediately
• Clear sand from tires
• Recover calmly

CJ4Days tours teach this hands-on — safely.

Safety + Skill = Better Experience

Going solo:

• No recovery backup
• No route planning support
• Easy to get lost

Guided:

• Trail knowledge
• Recovery support
• Controlled pacing
• Skill coaching

CJ4Days isn’t just a ride.
It’s an education.

Where the Legacy Began

The CJ stands for Civilian Jeep.

It traces back to:

• Willys MB
• Early post-war civilian models
• The legendary Jeep CJ-5

CJ4Days represents:

• Simplicity
• Capability
• Adventure without excess

It’s not just a vehicle.
It’s a mindset.
