Planning an expedition?, Dec 20 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Off-Road 4-Wheel Drive Book: Choosing, Using and Maintaining Go-Anywhere Vehicles (Hardcover)
Most Americans have the luxury of service stations at the trailhead and cell phones to call for help if we become stuck off road. For those who live in the west, where a cell phone signal is two hours away and a breakdown may be more than inconvenient, Jack Jackson's The Off-Road 4-Wheel Drive Book has good experience and insight to offer. The British point of view makes the book a bit quirky and centered on Rovers, but a refreshing perspective. You won't find the fat tire, bigger is better mentality here. Good information on self-reliant get there and back 4 wheeling is what this book is about. The preponderance of desert travel observations were particularly useful for the locale I explore. Get it and read it with Brad DeLongs 4-Wheel Freedom. You will not want for more information.

Excellent book by a veteran off-roader., Aug 28 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Off-Road 4-Wheel Drive Book: Choosing, Using and Maintaining Go-Anywhere Vehicles (Hardcover)
An excellent book, covering the off-roading scene in England,the rest of Europe, the Sahara Desert, and the Middle East.
Jack Jackson gives the reader much useful advice on how to
travel through very difficult country, and summarizes the
4x4 vehicles available in Europe.
My own book "4-Wheel Freedom: The Art of Off-Road Driving"
covers off-road recreation and all-weather driving in the
USA. The serious off-road recreationist will want to add
both these books to his or her library.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good all around information-but lacking, Nov 21 2005
By John Swamper "Jordan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Off-Road 4-Wheel Drive Book: Choosing, using and maintaining go-anywhere vehicles (Hardcover)
This book was helpful in describing all around driving techniques, and basically just alot of information for the extremely novice wheeler. Very slanted toward the Euro market, with all Euro names for vehicles, (Vauxhall for Isuzu, etc.) very different styles of vehicle modification, etc. Not an easy book to read cover to cover.
