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

DIVThe definitive, fully illustrated celebration of an auto manufacturer that paved its own way by going off-road./divDIV /divDIVFew American vehicles, or vehicles made anywhere else in the world for that matter, are as universally iconic as the Jeep. From olive drab WWII military relics to the beloved Wrangler with its rear-mounted spare tire, open-air design, and telltale roll cage, the Jeep is a true classic. In Jeep: The History of America’s Greatest Vehicle, automotive writer Patrick R. Foster chronicles over 70 years of Jeep vehicle design and production. Beginning with the Jeep as a crucial component of the American World War II fleet, Foster expertly recounts the corporate shifts, financial struggles and successes, close calls, and—above all—the enduring machines that have carried Jeep from the early 1940s to its triumphant role as a modern-day embodiment of American perseverance. Three hundred color and black-and-white historical photos complement his expertly written narrative of Jeep’s entire history, reminding us that sometimes, the road less traveled was just waiting for the right truck./div
