A Note From The Editor

I hope you have had a fantastic 4 wheeling summer. In addition to the Formula Off Road events I took the family on a camping tour around the southern highlands here in Iceland. Very scenic places and some hairy river crossing. Hope to show you something from the trip later on.

The autumn is about to start - at least over here - with some great off roading opportunities.

As before we at 4x4OffRoads have big plans for 4x4 fun of all kinds..

Have fun and keep the painted side up!

The fifth Formula Off Road Icelandic Championship 2009 is at Kollafjordur just north of Reykjavik. The race is also a part of the Nordic Cup, but since the competitors can choose to skip two out of 10 competitions none is attending from the other Nordic countries.
Organizing an Off Road Competition Organizing an Off Road Competition
Off road racing is great to watch, great to take part in but hellish to organize. Competitions - some are good, some are not, some are one day, others are a week or more. And just as the types vary, so do the reasons for going to one of them. For some it’s the prize, for others it’s the company or the adventure.

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 as high-quality and as accessible as possible and I need your help! 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 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.
