Customer Reviews

Great reference

May not be the most current tech but still has solid ideas and explanations about the Jeep and off-road theory.

Great Jeep Book!

This is a very thorough and easy to understand book. It is extremely well written. It covers more than the Jeep vehicles themselves, it also covers Jeep accessories and how to use them, as well as all the basics of four-wheelin'. I highly recomend this book to anyone interested in Jeeps and their capabilities.

All Things Jeep

This is a great book if you are jsut getting into Jeepin, and don't really know (or understand) all the lingo or issues with building up your rig. It also gives you some great ideas for mods and the upgrade path to follow.

Four Wheeler Magazine Review, March 1999

"Many will recognize the name Jim Allen from past tech and adventure articles published in Four Wheeler. However, in the continued spirit of writing about what he knows and loves, Jim Allen recently published his second book about four Wheeling, this one called the 'Jeep 4x4 Performance Handbook.' Offering a little bit of history, friendly advice, and a whole heap of information about Jeep aftermarket upgrade options, Allen delivers information for both hardcore and beginner alike, in a style both will enjoy. Some of our favorite chapters focused on suspensions ("Long Legs"), tires and wheels ("Footprints in the Sand"), brakes ("Whoa Nellie!"), and electrical systems ("Zap Rap"). For anyone considering a Jeep buildup or who just plain loves Jeeps, this book, at $19.95, offers as much information about Jeeps as you'll ever find in one place."
