Off Road 4 Wheeling

 

The 4x4 Off Roads site is dedicated to the love of 4x4 and off roads traveling. If you are anything like me you love to travel and get off the highway and out to the great outdoors!

I have enjoyed four wheeling for many years. During which time I have also been involved with computers and the web. When I began searching the web for practical no-nonsense information, I could not find much of any value. Although a lot of sites are available the information is rarely easy to find.

This is a double opt-in e-zine. Double opt-in means that after you subscribe you will be sent an automatic response. There you are given a link to click on to activate the subscription. No Head Off Road newsletter will be sent unsolicited.

In this web site you will find plenty of 4x4 information. If you are a newbie it is perhaps best if you start by reading about how four wheel drive works. Then there is of course a section with truck pictures where you can see some nicely modified 4x4 trucks. The concept car page gives my view on the emerging 4x4 technology.

I live in Iceland where the winters are long and snowy and the only roads in the highlands are rough gravel and dirt trails. It seems almost everybody has a 4x4 truck or SUV many of them modified to be taken to the most extreme places, like the great ice-caps and glaciers.

Icelanders love the 4x4 vehicles for very real and practical reasons. Sometime it is the only way to get around!
