My new eBook about 4 wheeling is now officially released. It is called "4x4 Off Roads - How To TOUR Your 4x4 And Enjoy Off Road 4 Wheeling". You can read all about it here: www.4x4-off-roads.com
To get an idea about the contents of the book you can download the two first chapters as a sample. Included is also the full Table of Contents so you also get a great overview of the whole book. I am pricing the book extra low and will in addition give you a special discount if you order by MIDNIGHT PACIFIC TIME this coming FRIDAY.
Please pass this on to your friends who may be interested in getting their own 4x4 ready. In fact, if you own an off road or 4 wheeling related website yourself you can easily earn money by referring your readers to the sales page. You just sign up with ClickBank and make a specially coded link with your ClickBank Id in it. Read more about it here: http://www.4x4offroads.com/affiliates.html
After you have read the book I would love to hear your opinion about it. Just drop me a note through my Contact page.

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.

Off
Road Akureyri 2007
Like last year the first Formula Off Road competition is in Akureyri.
Past days have been cold but just today summer has finally arrived. The
event starts at 13:00 and I am a little late after driving all the way
from Reykjavik in the morning.

Yes I call it a truck because my wife drives a small Nissan 1400 bakkie
and both vehicle's park next to each other in the garage and her bakkie
looks so small, anyway to give a brief history of this vehicle, I bought
it from a guy in Delmas which is near Springs in The Transvaal a few
years back, maybe three.

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.
Recreate with minimum impact:
-Travel responsibly on designated roads and trails or in permitted areas.
-Respect the rights of others including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.
-Educate yourself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely.
-Avoid sensitive areas such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage.
-Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.
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,
