understanding 4x4 Vehicles
This Book Is In Production NOW!
Today’s 4X4 vehicles are more complicated, feature laden, and capable than ever. The mere act of purchasing a new or used 4X4 vehicle can be both mind numbing and nerve racking. This is especially true if you don’t know how a 4X4 vehicle functions and specifically what type of off-roading you are interested in.
If you purchase a 4X4 vehicle at a dealership, don’t expect much technical help from a salesman. Most barely know the particulars of the 4X4 vehicles they sell, and fewer still have personally driven them off road. Your owner’s manual can provide you with important vehicle specifics , but this book can help you fully understand how your 4X4 operates, make intelligent modifications, and drive your vehicle off-road. Learning from this book can also help you make smart backcountry trail choices – matching the difficulty of a trail to the capability of your vehicle.
Whether you are looking to purchase your first 4X4 vehicle, or you’ve already done so, this book is for you. Look for this book on Amazon sometime in the future.
