PRESIDENT?S CORNER Welcome to Off-Road Adventures May 2010. 4 Wheel Parts sends this magazine to our customers for one year as a way of saying thanks. At the end of that time you can still keep receiving the magazine simply by going online and requesting it (basically just let us know you want it and you will get it!). We pack this magazine with terrific editorial to help our customers learn more about the products we sell, how to install them, and how the products perform. Each month we highlight major product categories in our Buyers Guide to provide even more product info. Also we pack it with some great promotions so that we can offer the very best deals to our customers. We simply couldn't do this month after month for the past 10 years without the great support of our advertisers. So, if you enjoy this magazine, I encourage you to support those manufacturers that help bring it to you. Finally, I thank the Off-Road Adventures staff, starting with Denis Snow, for putting this great publication together month after month. If you live in the Texas/Oklahoma, Louisiana area don't miss the Truck & Jeep Fest as it storms into Dallas May 15-16 and then makes its first visit to Houston at the Reliant Center on May 22-23. Thanks and enjoy this issue of Off-Road Adventures magazine. ?Greg Adler ?
