Publisher's Synopsis
You just purchased a 4x4 vehicle but you have no off road experience. You would to take you rig to explore off road but the thought is a little intimidating. You have little idea what to expect. And you don't know where to go, you're afraid you'll get lost or stuck. Every newcomer faces this dilemma including the authors when we started off road adventures. That's been a long time ago. The combined experience of the Trails 411 Off Road Training team exceeds 100 years. We've made most of the mistakes, experienced every emotion that comes when exploring the backcountry and enjoyed the spectacular beauty and adrenaline-pumping driving challenges. The core team at Trails 411 Off Road Training, Don Alexander, Wendy Stephens and Bill Stephens created and refined a training program to help newbies over many of the hurdles and pitfalls making off roading a challenge. Getting past the concerns and questions newcomers bring to our programs has always been a primary goal of our training. In 4x4 Tips, Tricks & Techniques for Newcomers we have put together information designed to help the newcomer leap, over the initial hurdles that keep most people from venturing onto dirt trails and roads.4x4 Tips, Tricks & Techniques for Newcomers provide the information needed to overcome the anxiety that can keep new 4x4 owners from experiencing the great adventure and beauty offered when exploring the backcountry.
