Information for Offroad beginners...

Below are some good links about offroad driving. If you are new to the sport (as am I) please read this information. It has given me a wealth of knowledge, and has spared me the embarasment of asking stupid questions that I could have easily answered myself with a MINIMUM of research.

Enjoy

Like anything will even fit in the glove box... so much information, such a little box. XOC is the best place to get info!

Just wanted to say the links were great...and a great idea...especially for us FNG's to the site. I probably didn't need to tell you this, but I figured I would so I could get one post closer to losing that lurker title.

This thread should have a quick link at the top between INFO and CLUBS.

I think 4x4now has some of the best info you can get.

And Bill Burke is my hero....

Do yourself a favor and take off the sidebars before offroading in rock terrain, It will save you from crying when you see them bent against your sidebody.

I guess you weren't kidding when you said this post wasn't going to die.

This information is just too useful to let it be shuffled to the bottom of the pile.

Here actually something to add to it though.

With the information in this thread you can go 4-wheeling better than 80% of the 4-wheelers out there.

where is this video now?

I've been out of the loop and haven't been able to keep the post on top.

The video must have faded into obscurity, it was from an article that described some basic offroading manuvers.

thanks for the links, very helpful :p
