Four-Wheeler's Bible

Four-wheeling expert and fanatic Jim Allen has long been four-wheelers’ most respected and reliable guide.  This new edition of Allen’s bestselling Four-Wheeler’s Bible includes all the basics for getting the most out of  your four-wheeler, along with updates on new vehicles, projects, events, and opportunities.  The book begins with basic modifications--such as increasing ground clearance and traction with larger wheels and tires--then gathers speed for more advanced and radical mods, from installing lift kits to increasing suspension articulation.  Step-by-step photo sequences guide you through whatever modifications suit your vehicles and your needs. 

With the best information on the latest Jeeps and other off-road vehicles; the most trustworthy advice on used and vintage models; and the most up-to-date news about events, courses, and competitions, this new edition of the Four-Wheeler’s Bible is a resource no four-wheeler will want to be without.

Jim Allen’s zest for machinery started with things that floated. He became a soldier-seaman in the closing years of the Vietnam War, training to operate and repair U.S. Army watercraft. An ASE Certified Master Technician for most of the next 20 years, he followed that up by a few years as an Off-Highway Driving Instructor, working seasonally for Land Rover. He filled in the off time as a freelance automotive journalist and has been doing that full-time since. You can add part-time farmer to that resume for the past six years. He lives on a small farm in Ohio these days, continues to write for 4x4, truck, and automobile magazines, and still loves four-wheeling.
