Synopsis
Whether you're only thinking about buying a 4-wheel drive vehicle or are already
an experienced 4WDer; whether you own a rugged, reliable Jeep, an all-purpose Nissan
Pathfinder, a popular Ford Explorer or Chevy Blazer, or the current king of the hill, the
awesome Humvee; whether you drive your vehicle primarily on the highway or
venture off-road to hunt, fish, or just explore the great outdoors, there is something in
this essential guide for you.
The 4WD techniques in 4-Wheel Drive Freedom apply to the entire spectrum of
"sport-utility" vehicle, from high-end rigs to economical mini-utes, as well as to vehicles
that have been beefed up with skid plates, winches, lifters, and mondo tires. First time
4WD owners can use these ideas to graduate to the experienced 'wheeler category,
and there are tips and tricks that even the dustiest, muddiest, most hard core rock
crawler can use the next time he or she lifts the dirt. Fourteen information packed chapters
cover:
- How to choose a 4x4 to your specific needs
- What equipment and features are necessary for driving off-road
- How to drive through snow, sand or mud
- How to drive on ice, over rocks, through water, and up and down hills
- How to choose beefed-up tires, winches, and other specialty gear
- How to extract your vehicle from any bad situation, from a muddy bog
to a snow-filled ditch
4-Wheel Drive Freedom contains virtually every tip and situation about off-road and
inclement-weather driving that has ever been published, plus a few more from the author's
personal bag of 4-wheeling tricks. Reading and applying the lessons in this book will go
a long way toward enhancing your freedom, safety, and enjoyment on or off road.
