Cheat Mode
While in the game, push [Enter]+[Shift]+[Alt]+E, then type any of the codes below:

4x4 - Big Tires
5x5 - Big Truck
99x99 - No Game Over

Edit Cash
First go into the game and play a bit to earn a little extra cash, at least $10,000.00 or so. Now sell your truck. Your should have somewhere near $40,000.00.

Look in your directory for the following file:
C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

..open the (metal.ini) file using notepad listed in your accessories folder in Windows. Now save the file in a temporary folder or on your desktop. Go back into the game and buy a vehicle and some of the parts you want. When your cash is low, do the following:

Exit the game and go back into your temporary folder and open the file named metal.ini and look for a line that says:
Cash=(followed by a series of numbers and letters)

I think the string is specific to the your player profile. Select the line and copy it. (now this is important only select the line that says Cash=(and the string of characters following the equal sign) not the entire file). Now open the metal.ini file in your:

C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

and look for a line that says:
Cash=(followed by a series of numbers and letters)

Select that line and paste over it the line you copied from the previous file.

Now save the file and exit notepad. Go back into the game and like magic you just padded your wallet again. If you want more cash, like say enough to buy one of race trucks, just sell your truck again and repeat all of the steps above. Remember every time you save the current:

C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

...your increasing the amount of cash you have. You can just keep doubling the amount of money you have by buying several trucks, pasting a new line in and then selling the trucks you bought. Saving that current file into your temporary folder and then buy more trucks and parts and on and on and on until you have the amount of cash you want.

If you would like to get instant cash without doing this trick, try putting in: "re25ykP*g*bCbqRqz*zb1xPz1P+" behind the cash= line to get $2.5 million. (omit the quotes)

NOTE: In the newer versions of 4x4 evolution the money cheat that is most prevalent does not work. When you edit the metal.ini file and go back into the game your career is reset and you lose all previously earned vehicles/money. The best bet is to start a race in career mode. Then once the race has started type "goldfinger." You will hear a little music then type in the word "givememoneyordie" and you will instantly recieve $1,000,000 in your career.

Newer Version Cheat

Then once the race has started type "goldfinger." You will hear a little music then type in the word "givememoneyordie" and you will instantly recieve $1,000,000 in your career.

Hidden money
All hidden money amounts vary depending on how much the race is worth:

Arctic Wasteland: Go through checkpoint 2, but continue straight instead of following the track. Pass between two hangars and continue straight across a small lake. Ahead of you will be an American flag. At the base of this is another hangar. A money box is next to the hangar.

Arizona: Go to checkpoint 6 -- it is easiest to do a 180 at the start line. Go straight out over the tracks over the mountains and find the little town that is out a bit.

Black Gold: Immediately after you go through checkpoint 6, keep following the trail. You will see a bridge once you go down the hill. Go over the bridge. To the right is a fenced in area with a oil tanker truck in front of the entrance. This is immediately before you go through checkpoint 7. The cash box is over to the right side of the fenced in area.

Crazy 2000: In the last turn before finish line run, go straight into water. A box of money containing $1495 is under water by the back edge of the pond.

Farm Road: Go under the train trestle in the middle of the pond to find $1500. Note: This works only one time.

Laguna Del Ray: Off on the right is a small island just offshore. On top the island is a chest.

MotorCross: Look inside a Porta-Pot up on a hill on left between gates 5 and 6, next to the tents to get $653.

Restricted Area: Go straight when you pass through checkpoint 5. After a little driving you will reach an aircraft hanger with a jet inside. In the corner of the hanger is a box of cash.

Salvage Wasteland: After checkpoint 2, make the jump. Instead of making the right turn to checkpoint 3, turn left. You will enter another fenced in area with dirt mounds. A box containing $2242 is in this area besides a mound of dirt.

Silverton Pass: Just before you reach checkpoint 7, stop in the water. Turn left and stay in water. Keep to the left at the fork. After this, there is a small rock jetty to your left. In the small pool beside it is a box of money with a little over $1400.

Treasure Bay: When starting, go over to the beached tanker boat to the right, and drive around on the water side. You can find another chest in the side hull, with $666.

Truck Stop 101: From the starting line, turn left off the track and drive straight until you reach a highway. Turn right, stay off the road about 40 yards, but just below the hill that runs along the highway. There should be a big dip next to the road within a few hundred yards. Down in the lowest part of the dip is a box with $907. If you are just flying down the side of the road you will miss the box.
