Tips On Choosing Books For a Custom Off-road Pickup

To build a fully capable custom off-road truck from a production pickup, it is important to have an understanding of how the truck will behave on the terrain you intend to drive it on. We suggest starting with a book on vehicle dynamics which offers insights not only into handling but also weight distribution effects as well. Some 4x4 books provide chapters on this topic, and for most people this will be sufficient. Special stage rally books or internet sites might provide some additional knowledge as well due to their shared multi-surface nature.

To help in planning and customizing/fabricating, you should look at books that teach chassis/suspension modifications (lift and articulation improvements for nimble handling), engine modifications if more power is needed, and other components that enhance the performance/recovery of the truck.
