I voted on the age group poll (ahem, 50. How dat happen?) Guess the next logical time related question would be, how long have you been wheelin'? Myself ,
about 30 years. There's alot of mud in dem wheel wells!

If I include wheeling experience with tricycles, bicycles and RC cars, me too I would get it to something over 30 years ;)

Seriously now: since 1987

I bought my first Jeep in 1968. Put a Buick V-6 in it and keep it about 5 years it was used primarily for sand dune hill climbing and hunting, then I progressed to Dune Buggies and more 4x4's. Still doing it about 33 years later.

Since February 2001 when I first got my Explorer. Bought the truck on a Wednesday, and Friday I had it covered in mud. First time I had ever even driven a vehicle in 4WD. Maybe it wasn't exactly smart, but it was fun. :D

Then two weeks later I had it high-centered over some deep ruts... I'll never learn. :cool:

Off and on since 1979. Wheeled with a old Bronco, Jeep, old Ford pickup, and now the Explorer. So far the Explorer has been the best.

I guess I've been riding along for about 3 years and just now getting into the 'hands on' fun stuff. We started camping and fishing regularly a few years ago, and to get where we need to go you have to run a few light to moderate "trails" to get there. Light enough for the stock X with air lift to get there, but moderate enough in some places to have to lock in once it rains, and moderate enough for us to blow out about 2 U-joints in the rear shaft and 3 in the front, and moderate enough for us to have gotten stuck so bad in mud we had to call in a dozer could pull us out :D Next year is when the fun really begins :D:D:D:D :exporange
