Learn How To Drive the Ultimate Off Road Vehicle From This Brand New Ultimate Land Rover Guide To Basic Off Road Driving
Change gears, climb hills and drive fearlessly through sand, snow and every type of muck known to man!
Dear Off Road Enthusiast,
Are
you a Land Rover Owner do you want to put your Land Rover though it's paces on the terrain that it was built for?
Have
you always wanted to drive your Land Rover off road into the woods,
across baron lands or in sand dunes in the Sahara Desert but were
afraid that you would
end up spinning your wheels endlessly in glop's of mud or getting stuck
in soft sand?
Do you know what you would do if you were forced to cross a shallow river blocking your path?
If this excites you then I have written the perfect resource guide for you! It's calledOff Road Adventures For The Land Rover Enthusiast.
First of all, let me tell you how this guide came to be...
How I got involved I have always wanted a Land Rover
Discovery 2 300 TDI; however I thought that they were very expensive and always
decided against it.
It was the early death at the end of 1996 of a work colleague who was due for
retirement that propelled me to go for one. Life is too short.
My Land Rovers Therefore in February 1997 I decided on a
Discovery 2, 300TDI 1995 model. At this stage I had no intentions of going on
any rugged off road adventures in my 4x4.
I started to buy LandRover Owners International magazine, and
it was reading the stories in the magazine that I developed an interest in going
off road and places far-off.
In May 2005 I had taken early retirement from my job. I also purchased a new
Land Rover Discovery 3s (manual gearbox). The difference between the two Land
Rovers is chalk and cheese. Again I had no intentions of going on any rugged off
road adventures in my 4x4.
In fact, my Land Rover Discovery is sitting in my
driveway right now... but it won't be on tarmac for long. I'm getting
it ready for my next adventure!
The truly
great thing about this Off Roading Resource Guide is that it's been
compiled by someone who actually owns and loves driving Off Road.
Why Write This Off Roading Resource Guide?
I'm always asked what steps are
required to prepare a vehicle for off roading, what you need to
consider, where to go and a whole host of other questions. Actually,
many questions are based on the same topics, so I thought why don't I
start to write down all of my thoughts, insights, hints, tips and
insider secrets!The good thing about this eBook is that it is written
by someone who actually owns and loves driving the vehicle.
I
wanted to share with other like minded off roaders and those who want
to get into this exciting, adrenaline pumping past time... and get the
most out of your vehicle so you too can have the terrific adventures
and experiences too.
In Off Road Adventures For The Land Rover Enthusiast I am an active enthusiast who can tell you all about the features of this iconic off-road vehicle.
The
Land Rover stable includes the following vehicles... Defender,
Discovery, Freelander and Range Rover. They're all sound vehicles on
the tarmac but spring to life when you take them off road, where they
really come into their own. But what makes this iconic 4x4 vehicle
stable so special.
Did you know that this exceptional vehicle has had more owner-manufacturers than practically any vehicle in history?
In the past the Land Rover has had many owners including British
Aerospace, BMW, Ford and Jaguar. Currently it is owned by the Tata
Motor Company of India. It actually originally EVOLVED from the Jeep as
the first model Land Rover was constructed with a Jeep chassis.
Perhaps this is why it is such a remarkable
vehicle. With each new owner came new innovations and features until we
end up with the Land Rover of today which is based on some very solid
and remarkable designs from as far back as the 1940's.
Back then vehicles were not really built with the
idea of built-in obsolescence in mind. There was a shortage of steel
and other materials so these vehicles had to be operative for as long
as possible. It is this "atomic age" appreciation of value and
durability that helps make this such a durable and also remarkably
agile vehicle in the end.
I have to say that it was the history and tradition behind the Land
Rover's construction that ultimately convinced me that it was the
off-road vehicle of choice!
Perhaps that is also why that if you attend a
four wheel drive off-road training course or school you will probably
find that they use Land Rovers as their teaching tool!
Let me tell you in my resource guide the following:
All about the editions of Land Rovers that have the permanent four wheel drive system
A discussion of why it is important for you to understand how the
electronic traction control works on your Land Rover - some off-road
vehicles do not have it all!
Where to find all of the older and newer operating manuals for all of the different makes and models of Land Rovers online
The importance of torque and traction when it comes to operating a Land Rover
Understanding gear ratios and how torque operates in first, second, third , fourth or fifth gear
What is the best default gear to use every time you need to move the vehicle from a stationary positon when off roading
An explanation of how each axle beneath your vehicle is sent power or "more pull" each time you change a gear
Why the Land Rover has such an advantage when it comes to driving in
adverse conditions such as snow and ice, being on a wet road
Why a Land Rover is capable of climbing slippery slopes that normal cars can't!
Why the "center differential" on a Land Rover is so special when it
comes to helping you navigate through adverse conditions
Why the Land Rover gear box is different than the standard ones you see on an ordinary two wheel drive vehicle
Why high ratio gears provide ideal on road balance between power, traction, speed and fuel economy
Why the low range gears are best to use if you are travelling in off-road conditions that are unusual in any way
An introduction to the transfer gear box that is a feature of
all Land Rovers that allows you to select high or low range gears
How to
assess whether or not you should be driving with a range of high gears
or low gears when using the transfer gear box
How to take your own driving abilities into account when you are selecting which gear is optimum for you to drive in
Why the Land Rover has developed such a reputation for having no
nonsense off-road capabilities that make it one of the safest vehicles
to drive
... and a lot more information about why the
Land Rover is the one vehicle that you can always rely on in even the
worst conditions to do exactly what it is that you want to do ...
Is A Land Rover Off Road Vehicle Right for You?
I knew that once I had my brand new Land Rover Discovery in the
driveway that I had made the right choice of vehicle but I also
realized, upon closer inspection, that unlike an ordinary car there was
a little more to operating this wonderful piece of machinery. A Land
Rover is a vehicle that has a bit of a double life... in fact you get
the best of both worlds.
A Land Rover is great around town... you simply jump in
and go!
However if you want to take the vehicle off road through fields, streams and forests then you need to undertake a little
preparation and planning.
When it comes of driving in unusual
terrains you cannot afford to take your
driving lightly, I tell you everything you need to know to prepare your off-road vehicle for adventure including ...
How to check your vehicle including the normal checks like the level of oil, engine coolant and pressure coolant
Why you should never set off into the wild without that spare wheel, torque wrench and jack in the back!
Why a hi-lift jack can be better to use than a standard jack for
changing tires on a Land Rover, but only on some models! In others you
need some slight modifications. Use a hi-lift jack in the wrong
circumstances and you'll face a hefty repair bill.
Why it is
crucial that you get your Land Rover serviced, including a brake check
and brake fluid check before you go on a long trip
The best way to prepare your windshield before you go on a long mucky trek through the wild
Why it is best to travel with someone or travel with a group of other off-road adventurers
How to organize a "spotter" in your off-road adventuring group for
maximum safety when you are transferring particularly rough terrain
Why you can't always rely on using a mobile phone in a wilderness situation
A checklist of the things that you will need to carry with you when going off road
Why a torch, shovel and large knife should be part of your Land Rover tool kit
Why you need to take the Land Rover out for a few test drives before you take it out in the wild
Why you need to make sure that you are not carrying too much weight on the back axle of your off-road vehicle
...and a lot more information about why you really need to pay
attention to "Murphy's Law" - if anything can go wrong it will - before
driving your Land Rover out into the wild.
I had a very lucky escape
when taking my Land Rover Discovery over rough terrain in Morocco... I
got away with doing thousands of pounds worth of damage
when I was traversing what is normally a very shallow stream.
Well, that shallow stream didn't turn out to be so shallow... within
yards I was up to the sills in water and the Discovery was leaning on
one side closer to the water. Now while this might sound like a fun
situation to get the blood and adrenaline pumping, it was very nearly an
expensive repair... as well as a huge cost to get towed from some
remote area in Morocco! Read the rest in my Special Cirque De Jaffar Bonus...
It's only by experience that you learn how to
drive across terrain like this... but also having a guide to help you
in situations like this, so you're briefed on what you need to do
before entering the water I think is essential. Sure, I can't be with
you on every expedition but my Off Roading Guide provides plenty of
advice, hints and tips on how to navigate situations like this... in
particular look out on page 38 you'll discover the right way to cross
any water hazard.
My point is that reading my guide can help you avoid situations like this and help prevent
disastrous situations that may incur huge repair bills to your Land Rover.
Are You Ready for the Perfect Land Rover Adventure?
Once I got my Land Rover Discovery, I realized that it was not quite
like driving any other vehicle. First of all it is a lot bigger than
most vehicles, could go nearly anywhere and it was also a lot more versatile.
Secondly, you have to be very sensible when
driving one of these things and always anticipate what's up ahead. This
way you can always take appropriate action in plenty of time.
However, along with this incredible versatility
also came some complexities to operating the vehicle. Some of these,
have to do with how the vehicle best functions on the road or in the
wild and others have to do with the way you drive and operate it.
The bottom line is that despite what you see on
some television advertisements about off-road vehicles there should be
nothing reckless about driving your Land Rover!
I give you all of the general off-road operation and driving guidelines including -
How to assess a terrain that you are planning to drive in for risks
How to understand the approach angle, departure angle; break over angle and ramp angles of your vehicle!

How getting out of your vehicle and taking a simple walk ahead or
having a "forward spotter" can prevent you from spending pointless
hours waiting to be winched out of the mud

the driver's side of the vehicle as close to obstacles as you can while
you are evading them at the same time
The best techniques to use to judge distances between you and the scenery
How to use the mirror on your vehicles to help you judge distances when going through rough terrain
How to spot off-road tracks and stick to them to keep your vehicle as safe as possible
