Jeep Wrangler ownership as well as other capable 4x4s opens up a fascinating world of adventure and exciting challenges. Off road adventures provide access to incredibly beautiful terrain and fun, exciting driving challenges. For example California offers over 100,000 miles of off road trails and dirt roads. Utah trails exceed 80,000 miles of adventure. Other states offer similar opportunities to explore and challenge yourself. If you already own a Jeep Wrangler, you are equipped with the best off road vehicle ever. While other vehicles from other manufacturers tout the off road capabilities of their vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler at every price point will handle off road challenges more easily and safely. If you are shopping for an off road capable vehicle, this book will help decide what direction to look for a suitable rig for your purposes. A Jeep Wrangler is hard to beat for off road adventures. Some vehicles may be a little more comfortable on the highway or on rough dirt roads, but when the going gets more challenging, the Jeep offers capability and confidence. Currently, the Wrangler Rubicon with the Xtreme Recon package is the most capable "off the showroom floor" off roader available, even more capable then the Ford Bronco Raptor. Even a Wrangler Sport is good off road rig. Add better tires and the Sport can tackle most dirt roads and trails. And if you plan to modify an off road vehicle, the Jeep Wrangler series offers more aftermarket parts and upgrade choices than any vehicle in history. 268 Pages, over 800 photos TABLE OF CONTENTS TAKING YOUR JEEP OFF ROAD TIPS FOR NEWCOMERS WENDY'S NEWBIE NUGGETS ADVANCED LEARNING 4WD CONTROLS HOW 4WD WORKS PAY ATTENTION BE ON THE LOOKOUT THE ART OF CHOOSING A LINE ROUGH COUNTRY THE UPS AND DOWNS OF DIRT CLIMBING HILLS DESCENDING HILLS THE SLIPPERY SLOPE SAND MUD SNOW & ICE WATER CROSSINGS SPOT ON VEHICLE SPOTTING TIRES TIRE PRESSURES WHEELS WINCHING TIPS & TRICKS OVERLANDING WAYS TO GET TRAILS CLOSED MIND YOUR MANNERS GET INVOLVED SUSPENSION, STEERING, BRAKES SUSPENSION, AXLE & STEERING ALIGNMENT DRIVELINES, AXLES, LOCKERS UNDERSIDE PROTECTION WHAT YOU NEED TO GO FOUR WHEELING TRAIL DIFFICULTY RATING TACKLING BACKCOUNTRY TERRAIN 911 - WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY TOWING DISABLED VEHICLES STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE POINTS DEALING WITH BROKEN SUSPENSION & STEERING BASIC ON-BOARD TOOL KIT BASIC FIRST AID KIT FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING MAPS, COMPASSES BE PREPARED ADVENTURE PLANNING NAVIGATION EMERGENCY TIRE REPAIR TRAILS 411 PROJECT VEHICLES

What is overlanding? Wikipedia states, "Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically (but not exclusively), it is accomplished with mechanized off-road-capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping. It often lasts for extended periods of time (months to years) and spans international boundaries." Overlanding did not originate in America, and it is a little different here. You would be hard-pressed to find a bicycle out in the desert, and most people don’t stay out there quite that long. However, the spirit of the activity is the same. Do you want to give overlanding a try? Great! You will need some gear. In The Overlanding Vehicle Builder’s Guide, veteran racer, off-roader, and journalist Don Alexander provides a terrific overview of what to consider when building your overlanding rig. This includes the planned duration of the trip, the number of people in your party, how far off the beaten path you want to go, and the creature comforts you require. Understanding those wants and needs shapes what gear you need for the best experience. Covered are the strengths and weaknesses of the types of vehicles themselves, modifications to the vehicles to make them more capable, accessories (lighting, camping gear, food and water storage, etc.), and equipment for trail mishaps and recovery. Driving techniques and trail rules and etiquette are also included. If you are ready to build a rig or just want to know more about the hobby, this book is a great guide to help you get started.
