Because life is not a beach, the Hawaiian shirt alternative.
All the comfort and quality - including perfectly matched pockets and
hand selected, sometimes handmade buttons - of a well made Hawaiian
shirt without the foo-foo flowers of the tropics. Instead bold prints of
a more mainland variety.

I hope you are doing well. Here it is really starting to cool down with some northerly winds and freezing nights. No snow yet except for the mountains. It will come soon hopefully bringing another snow and fun filled winter.
I have been planning on starting a new web site around a totally different theme. I am pretty sure a lot of you will find it no less interesting than the 4x4OffRoads.com web site. I'll tell you more about it when it is ready.

Already there are a number of nice trucks up. My plan is to make these pages high-quality and accessible and I need your help in doing so. Almost all 4x4's are unique and I am sure yours is in some way. Share your experience and allow the rest of the 4 wheeling world to see your truck and how it is used...
Take some time in describing your 4x4 and how you enjoy it. Use as many words as needed. As more rigs are added I get more picky - choosing only interesting rigs with lots of information and an unusual story.
Here is the page for submitting your 4x4 and looking at other readers trucks.

I am adding more and more content and value to 4x4OffRoads.com.
Please... if there's anything IMPORTANT that you wish I would do, anything that will make your life easier and/or bring you better knowledge...

Another option for you is to take part in a simple survey I set up. It should only take a couple of minutes to fill out. Also you get to voice your preferences regarding further development of the 4x4OffRoads.com web site.
I review all wishes and use to build a list for the most wanted, which I then prioritize according to demand.
As you may have noticed there is a new logo visible on the 4x4OffRoads.com site. I discovered that I have gained experience in building web sites that are heavily supported by digital images. Also - being a visual kind of guy I enjoy taking pictures of various subjects. Therefore I started a new web site that I use as a hub or central station for all my web sites and also to share photos I gather through my other interests and travel. The web is of course named Digital-Photo-Web.com
You are welcome to take a look and even send in a picture or two of your favorite subject in the reader photos section.
It can be on any theme you are interested in.
Best wishes and keep on wheeling,
