When the first land rovers were built back in 1948, easier off-road driving was made possible for military personnel and farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most major car manufacturers produce a 4&#215;4 vehicle as part of their range, however, not all of them are suitable for serious off-roading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a common misconception that 4&#215;4 means that all four wheels are turning at the same speed simultaneously but, when a 4&#215;4 turns, the outside tyres spin faster that those on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2559\" data-link=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2559\" class=\"wp-image-2559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8-573x300.png 573w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-8.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2560\" data-link=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2560\" class=\"wp-image-2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4-573x300.png 573w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-4.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2561\" data-link=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2561\" class=\"wp-image-2561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5-573x300.png 573w, https:\/\/geronigo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/MM-5.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going up hills &#8211; go steady and only slightly touch the accelerator &#8211; just enough to avoid stalling. If a wheel spins, slow to get traction again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can safely back down a hill far too steep to climb, without using your brakes, by using the engine, braking whilst in reverse. This will slow your descent down a hill in the straightest line possible. Keep your foot off the brake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving through mud, steady momentum is the key to success, frequent gear changing and acceleration are not. Moving your steering wheel from left to right can also give a little more traction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your experience can include hill descents, rocky terrain, muddy ruts and ditches and even river crosses.
