When you take your four-wheel-drive (4WD) truck or SUV off-road, there
is a whole new world to see and experience. The off-road community is
huge and welcoming, and there are lifestyle shows to attend and
trail-driving events to experience. With seat time and practice, your
technical skills will improve. However, do you really want to head into
the forest blindfolded? Driving off-road requires much more attention,
skills, discipline, and preparation than merely driving around
obstacles. Being fully armed with information regarding the most updated
techniques is critical for today's motorized off-road driving
enthusiast.
The Ultimate Off-Road Driver's Guide covers topics about what to bring
along for a trail ride and how to interact with other trail users. This
book covers the various 4WD systems and how they work, how to drive on
various terrain (mud, sand, snow, and rocks), and what to do when
encountering each of those elements. An entire chapter is devoted to
getting unstuck. Covered also are ways to communicate when you lose
cellular phone coverage as well as navigation options so that you don't
end up lost and on the local news channel.
This book is mandatory preparation for your off-road toolbox!
