A good book
« on: August 19, 2005, 09:40:05 »
Would like to recommend the 4 Wheelers Handbook by Jim Allen

Covers crossing most terrain from sand to snow including mud types!

Essential kit to carry, spares gear box useage, winching the lot really

Even looking after your dog when on the trails

I can recommend Offroader Driving by Tom Shepherd also.  A very good grounding in what to do and what not to do.

Couldn't agree more, but the better version is 'The Land Rover Experience' book & 'The Vehicle Dependant Expedition Guide'
