New 4x4 Articles And Off Road Stories

Iceland Motorcycle Video 4x4 Interview: Iceland Motorcycle Video
I've known Ron Douglas since I bought the Sport Trac from him a few years ago. He turned out to be a true friend. Ron is always coming up with fresh ideas and when he wanted to do a motorcycle tour around Iceland and make a documentary video about it, I was all for it. Ron made all the arrangements and took his friend Jon Hulme out here with him. We set out with two motorcycles and my Sport Track.
Liz Hayes from 60 Minutes Australia 60 Minutes Australia 4x4 Iceland
 Steven Rice as a producer from the Australian 60 minutes contacted me a few weeks ago since he was going to take his team to cover the Icelandic meltdown from a little bit different angle. He wanted to see Formula Off Road 4x4 trucks in action! The day of the shooting is one of the best days of the month. No wind and no clouds.
Gaz 69 - Russian 4x4 Gaz 69 Rocking in a Russian 4x4
Here are a few interesting facts about the Russian 4x4 named Gaz 69. The Gaz 69 was produced from 1954 to 1972. After that the looks were changed, but it still is basically produced as UAZ 3151. The Gaz 69 was created as a reform on an older Gaz 4x4 that was a direct copy from the Willys military Jeep that the US had sent the Russians during the war, for a total of 5000.

Already there are a number of nice trucks up. My plan is to make these pages as high-quality and as accessible as possible and I need your help!

Take your time to describe your 4x4 and how you enjoy it. Use as many words as needed. Ask yourself what would be interesting for you to know more about. The most interesting rigs with lots of information and an unusual story get the most attention.
