Greasing wheel bearings

I used my landy for the first time a few weeks ago off road in a quarry which was very sandy, I have since jet washed the underneath of the chassis paying particular attention to the swivels and around the wheels. What should I do now to prepare it for another day of off roading. I have heard that the sand wrecks wheel bearings. Do I need to grease wheel bearings or swivels etc, and will spray on grease do. Cheers

you shouldn't pressure wash yer swivels as you stand a chance of water getting into the housing. and if your seals are in good nick its unlikey that any sand will get into the wheel bearings.

spray on grease dont got the properties needed for bearing and swivel lubrication.

just check swivel oil levels and if you have pressure washed them it might be an idea to drain them and refill with new oil. its a landrover and should be able to go off road without worrying about servicing it every time
