Four-by-Four Driving

A new limited 5th edition this book was originally commissioned by Land Rover. Widely used by instructors including those of the UK and US Special Forces it sidelines the bling-and-bloat brochure presentation and concentrates on what matters for practical 4x4 operation on- and off-road: the driveline and the ergonomics. If you swoon over pop-out door handles mini-icon touch-screens leather seats 22-inch wheels and 500w audio this may not be your book. But there is detailed guidance on what the 4x4 buyer should look for depending on usage. A snapshot of current 4x4 drivelines and off-road criteria is given - from Bentley to the refreshing new Suzuki Jimny. There's detailed coverage of off-road techniques recovery and towing dynamics plus a 33-page`Expedition Basics' section providing a compact planning overview for adventurers. The Glossary provides information you didn't know you didn't know. `I have yet to find a book in any language that has this no-nonsense and deeply competent approach to the topic.'
