Short answer: Wear closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and clothes you don’t mind getting dusty, with a light layer for cool mornings. Xtreme 4×4 provides goggles, dust masks, snacks, water, and booster seats and helmets for kids. Bring your phone for photos and, if you’re driving, a valid driver’s license (drivers must be 18+). That’s really all it takes.
What to wear
Closed-toe shoes are a must — sneakers or hiking shoes are perfect, and sandals are a no-go on the trail. Add sunglasses to keep dust and glare out of your eyes, a hat or cap that won’t blow off at speed, and plenty of sunscreen for the high-desert sun. Wear clothing you don’t mind getting dusty; Moab’s red dust gets on everything, which is part of the fun. Mornings and sunset runs can be cool, so bring a light layer you can peel off as the day warms up, and skip loose scarves or anything that can flap or fly away.
What’s provided
You don’t need to bring any off-road gear — it’s all set up for you. Every U-Drive includes goggles and dust masks, a full safety briefing and vehicle orientation, snacks and water, and booster seats and helmets for kids. The Kawasaki KRX 1000 itself has a full safety cage and harnesses, so the only “equipment” you’re responsible for is the everyday stuff you’d bring on any desert outing.
What to bring
Keep it simple: your phone for photos and video (there are built-in stop-and-shoot moments), a valid driver’s license if you’re the one driving, extra water in the hot months, and any personal sun protection like lip balm or a bandana. A small zip pocket or a phone tether is handy so nothing bounces out on the trail. You won’t need a backpack — there’s storage in the vehicle for the essentials.
Dressing by season
In spring and fall, mornings start cool and afternoons turn warm, so layers are your friend — a long-sleeve or light jacket you can stash once you’re moving. In summer, prioritize sun protection, breathable clothing, and extra water, and consider booking a sunset run to dodge the midday heat. In winter, dress warm with gloves and a beanie under your helmet, and call ahead, since cold-weather runs are conditions-dependent.
Quick checklist
Closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, a light layer, your phone, your driver’s license (if driving), and extra water in summer. Everything else — goggles, masks, water, snacks, helmets and booster seats for kids — is provided when you arrive.
