This book is about driving off-roaders, not just about off-road driving. Driving tall 4x4s should not be a cause for gritted teeth or white knuckles. Being at one with what is going on, with the machinery you are using and the common-sense demands of both on-road routine and off-road obstacles makes off-roader driving remarkably straightforward. With sympathy for both the medium and your vehicle, with the acceptance of limitations in yourself and your machine, comes confidence and tolerance. Muscles that once held a jaw in a vice-like clamp relax into a smile. Eyes once widening with apprehension narrow in knowing assessment of the hazards or terrain before you. There is an inner grin of anticipation. This book is aimed at all users - from professionals in remote areas to those with their first 4x4s bought maily as a domestic workhorse or fun-mobile. An all-important guide to the plethora of current four-wheel drive systems and a rundown on towing - a function for which many an off-roader is bought - precedes an easy-access, section-by-section approach to using your off-roader on- and off-road. In effect this is an updated, rewritten, expanded edition of the author's sell-out earlier 4x4 books for Land Rover, with input from his Expedition Guide research. This book is "brand-neutral" and even-handed - albeit the author is happy to admit driving a Land Rover Defender for the past couple of decades as expedition workhorse and daily transport. He is equally relaxed about the current diversity of vehicles benefiting from large wheels, four-wheel drive and widely varying specifications. Each is suited to its purpose and all are great fun. Treat them well, learn the techniques and enjoy yourself!
