Also, buying a used Jeep will give you an opportunity to get to know your Jeep and to find out if...

This is true for even the cheapest cars available these days. All of the technological advances, however, can't hide one key thing - the most important area of the car is where the tires meet the road. Depending upon your vehicle and tires, the total area contacting the road may be as little 4 by...

Without a doubt, full-size pickup trucks are getting higher and higher. With increased load capacities, factory-installed off-road packages and taller wheels becoming standard issue equipment, it's no wonder the average pickup truck leaves us feeling shorter than ever.

There are also requirements at many landfills and transfer stations for drivers of vehicles to stay on the ground and often remain in their vehicles when dumping their loads.

Timber! That's a sound you expect to hear in the forest as a tree falls; however, it's not a sound you want to hear on the highway because a logging truck's load was not properly secured by a transport chain.

Cutting down trees is just the beginning of the journey for many of the wood-based products we use each day. Once those felled trees...

Anyone that's driven their 4WD over uneven terrain has likely experienced "wheel slip" -- a loss of traction caused when one front and one rear tire loses contact with the ground. The result was an immobile vehicle with its ungrounded tires spinning twice as fast as they normally do while the grounded tires remained firmly in place doing nothing. The reason for this is because of the axle's differential which, under normal driving conditions, transmits equal torque to both wheels on the axle yet allows them to rotate at different speeds (such as when turning a corner). This is accomplished with an internal unit of gearing referred to side gears or spider gears. The remedy for this...

The modern definition of the 4x4 car, truck, or vehicle is a shorthand composition of the torque. 4x4 delineates that there are 4 wheels all receiving torque from the engine. This setup is similar to an all wheel drive concept with a couple slight differences. The 4x4 setup is such that the engine applies driving torque to all of the wheel simultaneously. The difference between the wheels movement speeds is dependent on the weight of the vehicle applied to each of the wheels, for example when turning right the left wheels have more weight than the right. Also the surface on which you're driving determines whether or not the tires simply spin or actually move. In the event of dirt roads or...
