Book reviews usually put me to sleep; but take a read on this one because this new book is worth your time. I read every page and learned a lot from this dandy reference.

The first edition of "4 Wheel Freedom was an instant hit with off-roaders around the world, and deservedly so. Containing a wealth of knowledge between it's covers, the book spoke in plain language, and was understandable to both beginner and expert alike. Now into it's second edition, author Brad DeLong has further expanded on the work, and made an already great book even better.

Between 1983 & 1992, Ford has sold an enormous number of the mid-size Rangers and Broncos, and its not suprising why. From a practical standpoint,they are economical and reliable. From an aesthetic standpoint, they are very "trucklike", with a businesslike appearance.

Chassis Engineering (the art of), is not something to take lightly. The design, modification, and construction of an automotive performance chassis is perhaps the most complex undertaking an enthusiast can attempt.

Many of us run across the need to work with sheet metal at one time or another. Usually it comes shortly after we relocate a significant portion of rocker panel with "natures sledgehammer"...I.E., a big rock.

Where can I begin? Anyone on the fringe of Generation X or beyond that ever threw a leg over a dirt bike knows about Rick Sieman. As the creator and long time editor of "Dirt Bike" magazine, his influence and brutally...

Math was something that very few of us gearheads ever spent a lot of time on in school. Add - subtract - multiply - divide, mabye a few fractions, but algebra? Geometery? Trig?......"Nahhhhh....I'll never use that stuff...."

As OHV users, we have watched our public lands being taken away from us an acre at a time. Wilderness "Study Areas", designations, abuse of the Endangered Species Act....the ways are many.

The Rubicon Trail is the one trail that every Jeeper or 4x4 enthusiast must try at least once in their lifetime. A test: man and machine against the classic trail that was the birthplace for rock crawling and for years defined what the ultimate in rock crawling was all about.

The best off-roaders can make the toughest trails look like they were a drive to the supermarket while the novice can get stuck driving over a curb.

So, you want to buy a CJ? I wish I?d had a nickel for every time I?ve replied to those words over the last decade. I?d be rich. There?s something about a Jeep CJ5, or CJ7, that appeals to a man. I love driving it down the street on a nice summer day with the top off and seeing the smiles of those looking from sidewalks and other vehicles. A Jeep is unique and its history is unique.

My first ride in a Jeep was in the early 1950?s. It was a ?Seep?, an amphibious Jeep. Since that ride I?ve loved Jeeps. They are unique to Americans who know their history. So, you want to buy a CJ? Me too, I?ve wanted to find and restore a 1948 CJ2A. They?re simple, rugged and just plain too darned cool for words. IMHO flattie is the way to go! So, this book quickly became very interesting to me.
