A Note From The Editor

I just came back from our first vacation for years! It was really great. A luxury cruise on the Caribbean. The downside is that I have a HUGE backlog of things to attend to :)

At the same time the 4x4OffRoads.com site has been growing as fast as ever. This month we estimate that a quarter of a million visitors enjoy the site. This pushes our efforts to the max - both in increasing the width and depth of the site.

As you can see there are a number of great new articles. Two from Rumania, written by Radu, our newest photojournalist who is now living in England. One article comes all the way from Iraq - where a team of US soldiers juiced up an older Land Cruiser. Not to mention all the cool 4x4s coming through the Readers Rigs section.

We have also added a brand new website 4x4Sale.net as you can read more about below.

Inspirational Truck Wallpaper Inspirational Truck Wallpaper
Trucks and 4x4s have always been my inspiration and joy. Trucks that are used to get to places that are hard to reach using most other means of transportation. Trucks that have served the owners and trucks that owners have modified and improved to make them an extension of themselves.
Turbo Charged Down Range Turbo Charged Down Range
When most soldiers are deployed over seas, also known as being down range, they try and find anything to help occupy their time. The guys from the 7th Engineer Dive Team take a completely wrecked vehicle and turn it into a turbo charged work truck, or more importantly, a stress reliever.
Off Road Recon Off Road Recon
Off road lovers don’t just meet at contests. They meet up for a weekend in the forest, a drive in the fields or a week in the mountains. We set up a little get together after new year to celebrate 2008 and enjoy a week away from civilization and in the comfort of the tracks.
Xtreme Rock Racing Series 2008 Xtreme Rock Racing Series 2008 - Calendar
The calendar schedule for the 2008 Xtreme Rock Racing Series is now ready. Take a look and see if you can make it to any of the events. 4x4OffRoads will try to attend some and take pictures and write about the experience.
Off Road Hella 2 2007 Formula Off Road 2008 Schedule
The dates and locations for the Formula Off Road calendar in 2008 is getting pretty definite. Check it out and see if you have the opportunity of attending one of the events. Go to the bottom of the page to see the schedule.
Off Road Adventure Romania Off Road Adventure Romania - Christmas
Perhaps one of the most unique attributes of the off road spirit is that of helping each other, on and off the tracks, whether it's giving a sprocket or a knob to another contestant or people around us who have been disadvantaged, who live in remote areas of the country and have no access to food, water or phone lines.

Article: Used 4x4s For Sale

Time has come to open a special website for easy access to selected 4x4 trucks and SUVs. The 4x4Sale.net web provides a convenient way to search for used 4×4s for sale on eBay.

4×4 Sale

4x4Sale.net is run as a separate website, with it's own domain name - still an integral part of 4x4OffRoads.com. The website will assist you in setting your aim for the truck of your dreams.

Here is a list of the major brands available at the 4×4 Sale:

Feel free to visit the site and send me suggestions for improvement.

 

 

Original 4x4OffRoads.com Apparel!


Original 4x4OffRoads apparel. Choose from a wide range of available essentials. Designs are made from some stunning 4 wheeling pictures from the site. Everything from bumper stickers and g-strings to sweat shirts and tracksuits. Proudly show your support for 4x4OffRoads.com!

Please take a look at the new store and let me know how you like it.


 

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.

Thrandur.net

I recently started to write a blog about various things that are on my mind. I got the domain thrandur.net and you are most welcome to drop by and make comments to the posts I make there.

Most of the content on that site is business related and the theme is: digital technology, dream business and design success. In particular I talk about the ideas and products I am trying out and how well they work for me in practice.



Best wishes and keep on wheeling,
