My eBook about 4 wheeling is finally getting ready. I have contacted a handful of trusted friends to read it over and hope to get it out in this month. I'll send out a special newsletter to let you know it is finished.
For those of you interested in coming to Iceland for some 4 wheeling I have already found one partner I can recommend. Read more about them here Iceland Rovers Off Road. I will be adding a couple more if this works out well.
At present I am also starting a joint venture in building a new web site. I have a feeling a few of you may enjoy it - since it is about boats and fishing. The site is called www.Boat2Fish.net and you are welcome to take a look and give me your thoughts. If you own a boat or work on a boat I am also currently looking for pictures and information about some interesting boats from all over the world.

Please take a look at the new store and let me know how you like it.
If you have a 4x4 you feel proud of and want to show others - please don't hesitate to submit pictures and descriptions.
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.
4x4 Tire
Survey - Results
The 4x4 tire survey has been running for a few months now (early 2007)
and is intended to give an idea about tire brand popularity and
performance. With a total of 129 valid responses the survey gives a good
indication of real life tire usage and performance.
Off Road - First Day of Summer
Sometimes we think the "first day of summer" is celebrated a few weeks
too early in Iceland - but there it is...
Actually it looks like it will be a great day for wheeling. Snow is now
only up in the highlands and melting fast.
4x4 Self Drive Raid Maharaja
4x4 jeep tours are aimed at achieving the thrills of adventure combined
with sight seeing of places of natural beauty and tranquility. You could
ride through the Mighty Himalayas, enjoy a Desert rendezvous or embark
on a Coastal odyssey...
Off Road
Video: Land Rover Tomcat
Land Rover Tomcat raced against a motorized kayak. Shows a TV show, with
a speed competition between a motored kayak and a 4WD Tomcat Land Rover.
The location is Iceland - in and by a beautiful glacial ice lake.

Iceland Rovers is Iceland’s premiere adventure tour company. Since 1996,
we have served thousands of happy customers and helped them to explore

the East. UROC Mexico, headed up by UROC Mexico Director Ponce includes

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...
Reply to this e-mail with your biggest wish for the site!
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.
Sometimes not so common - common sense is something you are born with and must not be afraid to use. Even when you trust the source of new knowledge you should always be alert and ask questions. Common sense means paying close attention and thinking all actions to the end.
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,
