What kind of rig/vehicle is required to be a W2W Ambassador?
W2W Ambassadors have many different types of 4×4 rigs. Your vehicle needs to have functioning 4WD with robust recovery points in the front and rear. Tires must be either all terrains or mud terrains. We prefer your vehicle has a working winch and some recovery gear (please see question below for more info).
What recovery gear do I need to have?
- If you have a winch w/synthetic line: Need to have a set (2) of rope shackles, tree saver, and a winch ring.
- If you have a winch w/steel cable: Need to have all of the above as well as a weighted bag (line damper), and instead of a winch ring you need to have a snatch block.
- If you do not have a winch: Need to have a kinetic rope, set (2) of rope shackles, tree saver and/or static strap.
Other recommended/optional items: Shovel, flashlight, traction boards, machete/axe, zip ties, hand tools, & duct tape.
Radios
For safe operations we do require our W2W Ambassadors to have GMRS radios – ideally 2 on hand. You can use whichever version GMRS radio you prefer but these are the ones we use.

What are the duties & responsibilities of a W2W Ambassador?
The main role of a W2W Ambassador is to ensure safe event operations, including both guiding off-road activities as well as conducting off-road recoveries. Where2Wheel’s acronym is S.A. F. E. = Safe Accessible Fun Entertainment and this should be at the forefront of your mind at all times during events. W2W Ambassador responsibilities include but not limited to:
- Providing drivers’ meeting & safety briefing at beginning of the event (public speaking)
- Leading convoy style tour around the property
- Identifying and advising beginners
- Assisting & completing off-road recoveries
- Supervising other off-roaders and preventing unsafe situations at the offroad event
What if I get deployed?
W2W works with many active-duty military personnel. If you get deployed, we will move you to inactive status until you return and request to be re-activated for ambassador duties.
