4x4 SUVs are slightly more comfortable. They are often no less capable when used off-road. With more indoor space you can often use a 4x4 SUV as you main family transport and also take it for wild rides during the weekends.

Dacia Duster
Until recently, the last Romanian car company had little
exposure outside the country. But after a merger with the French
giant Renault, the relatively small company became a household
brand on the continent, with Dacia cars being spotted anywhere
from Morocco to Sweden and from Bulgaria to France.
The Green Giants
It is a generally acknowledged fact that fossil fuels and all it's derivates are a limited
resource. It is estimated that in less than 50 years, car fuel will become unavailable thus bringing
forth an important question regarding the lifetime of the classic combustion engine.
Lost In The Process
As you are probably all
aware, getting a truck up the hills and in the mud comes with a
cost. Whether you treat your 4x4 kind or you push the pedal to
the metal, parts have always and will always break. The downside
of this is that they almost exclusively break when you need them
most, or so you think
Gaz 69 Rocking in a Russian 4x4
Here are a few interesting facts about the Russian 4x4
named Gaz 69. The Gaz 69 was produced from 1954 to 1972. After
that the looks were changed, but it still is basically produced
as UAZ 3151. The Gaz 69 was created as a reform on an older Gaz
4x4 that was a direct copy from the Willys military Jeep that
the US had sent the Russians during the war, for a total of
5000.
An Overlander's Dream
Without doubt, everybody who has an off road car, or at least
had the occasion to participate in an off road gathering knows
there's something more to the bunch than just the cars and the
mud. It's an attitude that brings everyone together, whether
it's a Toyota owner, a Suzuki lover or a Land Rover racer.
Turbo Charged Down Range
When most soldiers are deployed over seas, also known as
being down range, they try and find anything to help occupy
their time. The guys from the 7th Engineer Dive Team take a
completely wrecked vehicle and turn it into a turbo charged work
truck, or more importantly, a stress reliever.
Toyota 4 Runner on 44 Inch Tires"
Toyota 4Runner on 44 Inch Tires Jon G. Snaeland is one of the most active 4 wheelers in Iceland. He is in the board of the Icelandic 4x4 club and owns this "slightly" modified Toyota 4 Runner.

This is a tale of three 1973 Scouts
Recently I was skittering through the Internet looking for some off-road activities when I blundererd
into: 4x4OffRoads.com.This is the start of an article that I just received from a friend in Canada. It was
published in Old Autos - a Canadian newspaper.
BIG Suburban -49 Inch Tires
& Atlas Gears
Go Big - Go Suburban - Go Suburban AND fit 49 inch tires! - That's BIG! Kristjan Kristjansson - Stjani - has done just that. After spending countless hours and days in his garage his 49 inch modified Chevrolet Suburban is now street legal.
4x4 Vehicles in High Altitude
A SUV seems the most popular vehicle. Some are more a car like
than others, others are more tougher, more brutish with
glamorous advertising and claims of various makers of these
trucks.
Pinzgauer VS Suburban
Clay started off last Summer season just busting buttons, after close to twenty years
of giving 4X4 tours in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, he was finally getting a chance
to drive a vehicle that was truly different.
Electric Land Rover Freelander
In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in interest for hybrid vehicles as well
as full electric ones. With Nissan already marketing their first ever fully electric vehicle, the Nissan
Leaf the subsequent resourcefulness of the builders spiked significantly. It's about the creativity of one
Simon Rafferty that I'm going to tell you about today, and his amazing DIY Land Rover.

4x4 Ford Bronco 1974
There is something about the looks of the early Bronco that is appealing to many
and the durability can be seen in how many are still in full use and how popular they are
for rebuilding.
Reykjavik picture
During this difficult time of closed high-land roads I spent a day driving
around Reykjavik city. The idea is to show you a sample of some of the trucks you
can see on the road used for daily driving.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.
