There are three brothers in off-road vehicles, each with different comprehensive load capacity. Heavy off-road vehicles with high load capacity are called heavy-duty off-road vehicles; A light off-road vehicle with low load capacity is called a light off-road vehicle; And those that fall between light and heavy are called mid size off-road vehicles. Full drive is designed so that after one wheel slips into the mud, the other wheels can still drive the car out of the predicament, otherwise it would have to wait for someone to tow it.
1. When cars were first developed, they became an extremely luxurious and status symbol. With the continuous progress of society, cars gradually became a means of transportation and transportation, giving rise to various types of cars for different purposes. Moreover, the functions of these cars became more and more detailed, and one type of vehicle that evolved was the off-road Jeep. Its birth undoubtedly made infinite contributions.
2. After the end of World War II, General Eisenhower said that the United States won the war with three tools: jeeps, landing craft, and C-53 transport planes. Jeeps have a simple structure, are sturdy, and have excellent versatility. They can travel on various terrains and complete a variety of strange tasks. They were originally designed specifically for warfare, greatly improving their maneuverability and making great contributions to warfare.
3. The lines of the Jeep are square and straight, without any accessories unrelated to performance. In the design and manufacturing process, only durability, practicality, simple processing, and low cost are considered, which seems to have nothing to do with art. Actually, this is a prejudice. Jeeps, whether for transportation, handling, towing, comfort, luxury, luxury, or aesthetic appearance, are not their essence. The soul of a Jeep is to be able to take you to as many places as possible, whether it's deserts, beaches, mountains, mud, snow fields, steep slopes... Artists give it life with the simplest lines and shapes. In the Museum of Modern Art in New York, there are a total of 8 cars displayed as art pieces, with the most prominent being an American military jeep from World War II.
4. Jeeps are everywhere, representing the image of being fierce, agile, rough, resilient, and down-to-earth. Therefore, there are many car enthusiasts who are enthusiastic about it. The arduous trek on treacherous roads is what we truly enjoy, and it should be a manifestation of off-road vehicle culture. It brings together people who love nature to experience the infinite joy it brings them together. Thus, representing an emerging and gradually increasing consumer trend, various automobile companies are also developing high-level light off-road jeeps.
5. In many countries, especially in the West, there is rarely a specific term for off-road vehicles, but off road driving is very common, which means driving off the road. This requires a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle as a carrier. The design of four-wheel drive vehicles aims to improve the vehicle's ability to escape on harsh roads. By utilizing four-wheel drive, the engine power is evenly distributed to all four wheels, greatly reducing wheel slip and spin. Make it less likely for the torque applied to each wheel to exceed its own grip performance. The grip of tires is most affected on muddy, slippery roads and snowy terrain, and four-wheel drive has great advantages. In addition to safety, it also provides a smoother driving experience. The four-wheel drive mode includes: 2H - high-speed two wheel drive (4x2), suitable for use in urban areas and on good road surfaces; 4H - High speed four-wheel drive (4x4), suitable for use on snowy and slippery roads; 4L - Low speed four-wheel drive (4x4), when a large amount of driving torque is required, such as in rugged mud, sandy terrain, and dangerous slopes. However, to master it well, practical operation and rich off-road experience are also needed.
6. To greatly improve the performance of off-road vehicles, it is necessary to master the structure of off-road vehicles and then carry out modifications. Basic modifications such as strengthening the chassis, increasing ground clearance, allowing for greater wheel sway, changing the suspension system, enhancing water wading ability, center differential, center differential lock, etc. When modifying, there should also be a plan and standards, and more importantly, consideration should be given to cost-effectiveness. Only with these modifications can it be considered a high-performance off-road Jeep, capable of conquering danger to the fullest extent and experiencing unparalleled pleasure. However, it also requires strong off-road driving skills and experience as a solid backing. Even so, off-road vehicles can still get stuck, which requires understanding many practical self rescue methods, which is a great pleasure.
