| | Video & Book Reviews | | | "4 Wheel Freedom" - Reviewer's Notebook
| | The first edition of "4 Wheel Freedom was an instant hit with off-roaders around the world, and deservedly so. Containing a wealth of knowledge between it's covers, the book spoke in plain language, and was understandable to both beginner and expert alike. Now into it's second edition, author Brad DeLong has further expanded on the work, and made an already great book even better. | | | Sidekick Off-Road Maps - Rick Russell's Off Highway Adventure Series - Clayton Oklahoma

| Haynes Automotive Repair Manual - Ford Ranger & Bronco II 1983-1992
| | Between 1983 & 1992, Ford has sold an enormous number of the mid-size Rangers and Broncos, and its not suprising why. From a practical standpoint,they are economical and reliable. From an aesthetic standpoint, they are very "trucklike", with a businesslike appearance. | | | HP-BOOKS - "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams

The design, modification, and construction of an automotive performance chassis is perhaps the most complex undertaking an enthusiast can attempt. | | | Sidekick Off-Road Maps - Rick Russell's Off Highway Adventure Series - "Big Bear"

| AISIN Hubs - Identification and Rebuilding Guide.
| | When we think of all the manufacturers who make locking freewheel hubs for 4x4s, some big names come to mind: Warn, Milemarker, and Superwinch. But one manufacturer's hubs are probably on more vehicles worldwide that these familar makes combined: AISIN. These hubs have appeared as original equipment on 4x4s from Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Chevy, Dodge, Mazda, and Suzuki. | | | MORE ARTICLES

| Time to Wake Up Redux
| | Everyone that has been around the OHV community for more than a minute knows a story or stories about people recklessly driving or riding where it is prohibited or causing destruction to public land... | | | NOHVCC Forest Service Route Designation Workshops
| | The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is under a mandate to complete their Travel Management Plans within the next couple of years. They are looking for public input in the process, specifically when it comes to Route Designation. But, unfortunately most of the OHV community is lost when it comes to working with the various government agencies that manage our public lands. | | | From Somewhere in the Four Corners
| | Conservative commentator and pundit Alan Caruba of The National Anxiety Center has another winner on his hands. Alan's first book, "Warning Signs", a compilation of op-eds and essays that was released a couple of years ago was welcomed by his readers as a handy way to access some of his best writings up to that point. "Right Answers" is in the same format, a collection of Alan's more recent work broken down into several categories. | | | FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FOUR CORNERS
| | Unreal. Somehow fall is here again. No matter what, it seems that my favorite season here in the southwest just rolls around every year! With fall, the high desert where I live in the four corners area becomes a different place than it was a few weeks ago. The leaves will start turning very shortly in the San Juans, the evenings and mornings are almost cool enough to need a jacket, and wheeling on the rocks will once again be bearable. | | | FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FOUR CORNERS

Thankfully we have not experienced what I predicted would be the result of Gore winning the election, because if he had won here's a short look at what we would be facing: | | | Definitely NO Laughing Matter

| | (NOTE: Over the past several years the closure of the trails in the Robledo Mountains near Las Cruces, New Mexico and the subsequent legal action has been the subject of much discussion among four wheelers. But, in all this discussion, no one has adequately been able to lay out all the facts of the case in the order in which they happened, and with an explanation that is understandable to the average four wheeler. So, after digging though the small mountain of paper that constitutes the filings in this case we are providing this summary of what has transpired over the past several years for those that are interested or have just been totally confused by all that has happened. We can only hope that the saga is not over just yet. Please feel free to copy this summary as you see fit for distribution to club members and other interested parties.) | | | FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FOUR CORNERS

Collins that got me thinking about the trails that really are in my backyard.

| | For the month of September, I would like to dedicate this space to the people who have been devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The amount of damage is just unreal. Hopefully, the areas that have been hit hard can recover quickly. But, according to the news, that doesn't look like a possibility. In some of the clubs I have been in, we assisted or trained search and rescue teams when an event like this occurred. I am sure the people in organizations, like 4-wheel drive clubs, like the ones we promote on Off-Road.Com, are doing everything in their power to assist people in need. That is one of the benefits we have with our stock or modified rigs: we can go where other vehicles can't. | | | June 2005 Club of the Month
