What got you into wheeling?

[VDubLuv82]

My Dad had the Yota from back to the future sitting on 33"'s and use to take me. Always made me jump out and lock the hubs though lol

[wrpoole]

Will did, actually. I didn't have a car in High School but during the summers I drove a Black '86 Grand Wagoneer. When I moved out to Pittsburgh, Will would always send me badass videos of his Jeep wheeling around in CT. When I got home, I was given a Jeep Cherokee and it was lifted no less than 3 weeks later. Been wheeling ever since.

My father is a big Jeep guy and I've always loved the sport of offroad racing.

i still remember the first wheeling trip with your jeep

blue smoke and all

82 gmc jimmy in upstate new york with my stepfather climbing mountains and traversing mud(Circa1986). Then the 1990 toyota with the stupid stripes. What an asshole he was but those times are engraved on my soul.

My brother got his jeep a few years back, and then all of his friends got jeeps and lifted them, so i've been exposed to them growing up. My dad also wheeled full size's back in the day with his nissan and ford pickup on 36's.

Speeding ticket.

I was into dirtbikes, quads were too slow, so rock crawling was out of the question.
On the road I had a nice Firebird formula, fast, got reckless driving speeding ticket I was only doing 90 down the 25/8 connector on a sunday afternoon no one on the road. seriously the cop couldn't knock of 5mph, so it wasn't reckless driving.

Anyways they would drop the charge if I didn't get any moving violations for a year so I bought a jeep no more speeding for me, from there on I was hooked.
No reason to go fast on the street. but offroad now that's a different story. cannot wait to have a fast buggy.

Not sure. I grew up in the woods. When I was younger my stepdad had a fullsize bronco that we used to drive through snowy trails to get christmas trees every year. My friends were into trucks and offroading in 2005, I was looking to buy a newere car, so I bought a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer It was a nice car and my first expierence driving in trails but obviously not very good in harder trails or anything that didnt resemble a dirt road . I sold it and bought a 1987 ranger, lifted it put 33's on it and had a blast with it. That truck is probably what sealed the deal for me. Now im stuck.

P.S. I still have those 33's

Yeah, my jeep was fucking Dangerous back in the day. Then we welded my bumpstop towers back in.

My family always had Jeeps so when I got my first hand-me-down I wanted to make it different then after I lifted it I took it offroading and got hooked.

Not sure if there's ever been a thread on this, I know we have the how I joined SiS one, but I thought this could be kinda cool too...

What got you into wheeling/how did you get into the off roading scene?

In high school I didn't play sports, liked to weld and work on cars.
