Four-wheel drive is more than a way to climb up a snowy driveway or escape a plowed-in parking space. Pushed hard, a good 4x4 can take a competent driver to places the pavement bound masses can hardly imagine- up mountains, across streams, over boulders, through snow, mud and sand. Four-wheeling brings the freedom to leave daily toils behind and venture into the rugged wilderness. All it takes is knowledge, planning and the proper equipment. In nearly 30 years in the sport, including work as an off-road instructor for Land Rover, Jim Allen has seen it all- and from some pretty hairy angles. In the 4-Wheeler’s Bible, this veteran wheeler and writer provides a thorough, insightful look at the vehicles, accessories, tricks and techniques you’ll need to get you there and back safely. Numerous color photos, illustrations and sidebars show you what works, how it works, what to do, and what to avoid. At the back of the book is a glossary that defines the lingo of the four-wheeling world, and a list of suppliers who can help you build any rig you can imagine.
Whether you’ve scratched and clawed your way with the best f them, or just imagined it from a comfy chair, the 4-Wheeler’s Bible will help you down the trail. Virtually anyone can enjoy the thrill and challenge of four-wheeling, at the wheel, as a spotter, or just along for the ride. Before you load up, read up and be prepared, no matter where the trail leads.
