Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Covers a lot, like how a differential work, what gears to use and when, how the suspension work offroad and why it's important, how traction control work. Ground clearance, departure and arrival angle. Deep water wading, hill climb and decent etc. And includes pretty much only Land Rovers for those of you who like those.

If anybody has anything similar to this also I would like to know about it.
I love this dudes voice
There is a torrent available for the complete video fyi, pretty nice.
My only issue with this video is that this is very Land Rover specific. He talks about turning on and off the diff lock all the time, which is something most 4x4s don't have. Pretty much all other 4x4s have the diff locked all the time that 4WD is on. There are times that he'd turn the diff lock off when you'd want to leave 4WD on in any other 4x4 in the same situation.
I did watch the whole thing though, and it is very thorough and informative about the basics.
The best way to get "good" at wheeling is to practice.
