My 4x4 is a way of life. The ultimate freedom and no limits adventure. GO ANYWHERE. Tackle any back road or trail up the hills. Accept the challenge and go wherever I want.
Electronic Myths Off Road - For years, I had very little interaction with the electronic aspects in cars on off road tracks. The Land Rover I use had very simple systems, with only a ECU that managed piston synchronization, the electronic injection and a few other things. No ABS, no traction control or any of the newer things. And it did everything just as it should, perfectly.
My Dodge W200 / M880 1977 Project Back in 1995, I bought this M880 truck from a merchant. The trucks this man sold, were all former U.S. army material.
Video: Driver View - Formula Offroad Videos from the N1 Willys truck in the same track with two different drivers. They are shot with an onboard camcorder. The first makes it up by using full nitro injection and the second one is a little bit too shy on petal and takes a back roll.

Discovery Off Road Trial - By now everyone knows the hit show One car too far on the documentary channel. Those two guys take everything about off road and make it easy to be understood and put into practice, dealing with real life situations that the regular off roader would encounter.
Denmark 4x4 Beach Tour - Løkken in Denmark is usually a quiet town on the seaside with small friendly houses and even friendlier boats. The long beach is popular for walking and bicycling. One weekend in March that all changes when hundreds of off roaders from the Nordic countries gather for some 4x4 beach fun.
The German tuning team at ELIA, specialized in Renault customizations, turned their attention to the still fresh Dacia Duster. As expected, the crossover has a great deal of potential, which the team decided to explore and re-engineer. And so, the Darkster was born.
Locking Hubs Replacement - Dana 44 - In this video I am showing you how to replace Dana 44 locking hubs with some refurbished ones. I found an old Ford Bronco set on eBay that I thing should work nicely. The procedure for replacing manual locking hubs is pretty much the same for a lot of American 4x4s that have Dana 44 axles.
Dacia Duster - Beyond The Limits - A little while back, we had an exclusive test drive with the brainchild of the Dacia-Renault merger. The neat looking Dacia Duster SUV impressed us through its robust feel, the power of the small engine on the particularly light body as well as it's comfort.
Dakar Rally - The ulimate rally race? Just like horse racing has the Kentucky Derby and soccer has The World Cup, the Dakar Rally is the premier event for long distance offroading. Anyone wanting to test their rock-crawling chops will make their way to this event, and it's the perfect place for man and vehicle to show what they're made of.
Dacia Duster - Until recently, the last Romanian car company had little exposure outside the country. But after a merger with the French giant Renault, the relatively small company became a household brand on the continent, with Dacia cars being spotted anywhere from Morocco to Sweden and from Bulgaria to France.
To replace the car-like steering box in the original Sport Trac I got this rebuilt steering box from an old Bronco. It has to be placed on the left side of the framing, just in front of the steering rod. Here it is being tried out, but it has to be moved quite a bit to the front.
