A Note From The Editor
Two interesting events are happening in Norway this September. Last weekend saw the first of the Formula Off Roads World cup in Skien and the 15th has the Nordic Trial Open 2007 in East-Agder just south of Oslo.
Instead of making two trips to Norway I decided to go only to the Trial. I made arrangements for a photojournalist to make an article for 4x4OffRoads.com about the Skien events. This way 4x4OffRoads.com can cover both events.
This will be the first time I attend an off-road trial. My friend Ponce, from MXRRA will be competing at that event as a copilot for Tore Hansen (Team Magic). This should be fun and also breaking news to go down in the books since it will the first time a Mexican competes together with a Norwegian! Also will be fun to see the similarities as well as the differences. Really looking forward for the event.
My main PC just broke down and I have been working hard to get everything back in action. As luck would have it my backups where lacking and I lost some important files. It seems I have to learn the hard way!

Readers Rigs Are On!
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.

I review all wishes and use to build a list for the most wanted, which I then prioritize according to demand.
Tip - Shop Manual
Owning a technical manual for your brand truck is a must. It covers all kinds of tasks you may be facing. Taking it along for the ride can turn a sour experience into a solvable situation. Even if you got ten thumbs, your fellow travelers might be willing to help out.Digital Photo Web
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 travels. The web is of course named Digital-Photo-Web.comYou 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,
