4 wheel posts
I don't want to spoil anyones fun, but in my opinion the board is getting too crowded with 4 wheel questions that probably shouldn't belong here in the first place. A Land Rover with a trailer hauling 1000 liters of fuel is very difficult to register as a motorcycle in most countries. Maybe a HUBB policy is in order?

I've noticed - the 4 wheelers are supposed to be sticking to the 4 wheel forum, which is related to the Sahara Overland Forum.
I shall think of something. Ta.

I understand this is primarily a motorcycle site / forum, but what really makes us tick and hold us together is the love of travel, sense of adventure and exploration. That’s something we share with 4wd people. Pursuing this passion we all share in a different vehicle by definition doesn’t make them strangers. In fact more people do it in 4wd and backpacking than on motorcycles and we should be able to share our experiences with them and benefit from theirs. If fact I wouldn’t mind if the site started to include and cater for 4wd travelers. It could be the start for something even better. But then again it’s Grant and Susan’s site and probably they have a direction for the site in mind.
Did I mention that I do most of my traveling in a Jeep? 
Just my opinion.

OK, then I'll give my humble opinion as well.
I just skip the sahara-forum and the 4-WD forum. It's as simple as that.
OK, sometime I take a sneek peek into them... becourse... like AB say's.. it's also travel and that's what make's us tick.
What I mean to say is: As long as there is a clear border between the two, I don't mind at all. Although sometime I wonder how to get a cooper discoverer 3.25/60-15 on my bike

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
