A Note From The Editor
I just came back from a great newbie off road tour. The trip included delights and challenges in just the right amounts! The full story with pics will be up in a few days.

...and I know this is not for everybody. You have to have a strong desire to make cars and eBay auctions your way of earning a living.
If you want to make a living in the auto industry - and you don't want to work for a boss - and you want to make a decent living you can take a look at this. Perhaps it fits your goals. It is an eBook that teaches you how to sell cars that you don’t own on eBay Motors without paying for cars or even talking to buyers. The book is easy to read and to the point and will help you get started. The only major drawback I found is that you have to live in a country where eBay has a solid market share - because you would want to take full advantage of this.

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.

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.
Tip - Left Foot Braking
If you have an automatic you can use your left foot for braking. This way you have more control over the rotations of the tires. Normally you must lift your right foot off the injection first before you can step on the brakes. Using left foot braking you minimize this time. This technique can sometimes also be used with manual transmissions - only use more care so you don't stall the engine.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,
