This book is in its third revision. I had Moses sign his first version of this book 1993 About the Author (From the back page of that first version) An Avid fly fisherman, hunter, canoeist and four-wheeler Mosel Ludel took his first drivers test in the family CJ5 Jeep. Two years later, at age eighteen, he drove the Rubicon trail by the back route (east to west), starting at Miller Lake and tracking an unmarked trail across the Sierra Mountains to Placerville, California. Moses worked as a journey truck mechanic and heavy equipment operator before receiving a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Oregon. He has taught adult education level courses in automotive/diesel mechanics. He established himself as an automotive journalist and photographer, with a specialty in four-wheel drive vehicles. Moses has published nearly 600 technical features and columns since 1982. His magazine credits include Off-Road, Four Wheeler, 4WD Action /SUV, 4x4 Magazine Japan, Trailer Life, Motorhome, Popular Hot Rodding, Corvette Fever and many others. He currently writes four monthly technical columns for national magazines. Moses is a board member of the Tread Lightly! Program, also serving on the membership and environmental ethics committees.
