What got you into wheeling?

[clean4drxj]

I started riding 3wheelers when I was 4 and moved onto motocross, I've had about 25-30 dirtbikes quads and trikes I have some of the pictures of the various bikes and even have some parts but after my accident in sept of 06 I can no longer afford to get hurt... so I moved onto vehicles. But my uncle and father have always been into cars& trucks and have muscle cars, I stay away from cars that are fast because I'll end up with tickets and recklesses.

I have always wanted to see what my vehicle could do. In my ElCamino I learned a mattress and a clear night in a state park will get you laid. In my first Caddy, I learned that I had a lead foot (in the year and a half I had that car, I racked up 5 PAGES of traffic offences). I was paid $50 to get rid of a 92 Volvo DL with 300k miles on it for a friend. He even gave me a battery to see if it would start so we could put it on the trailer. Thing started right up and I learned to appreciate older Volvos. In the 20K miles I put on it, I only had to replace a taillight, and changed the oil once before giving it to a friend that needed more than I did.
While driving my ex-wifes TJ while she was deployed, I started to like having a versatile convertible that could take more abuse than most other cars I had driven (aside from the Elcky that is). When I got back from my first tour she paid $4500 (of my money without my knowledge), and got me a POS YJ (in her name) with 190k miles and the flintstones brake mod. I bombed around in that for a few months, going camping and climbing mountain trails to get to the site. A couple times my pile of poop was the camp mule when the broncos and blazers of the group couldn't make it up and down through the ruts and whatnot. I met Nica in the YJ and we would cruise around at night with the top off and just enjoy old log trails and maint roads till the damn thing bit-the-shed (whereupon my ex wife sold it for $1500 and kept the cash).
Nica liked the jeep and we soon got a TJ.... I found and began a build meant for moderate trails and leisure rides. I hate mud and love rocks, but I am far from a hardcore wheeler.


More than what was asked, but

[CumminsJeep]

I was always into lifted stuff. always wanted a lifted jeep or truck. I first got the 95 GMC 2500 and put a lift and 33s on that, then the cummins, now the cherokee.

[Henchman]

I rode quad and dirtbikes for awhile and always loved big trucks, jeeps and such. Turned 16 and my uncle had the TJ and asked me if I wanted it because he was gonna buy a jk. I bought it and my bank account went crazy from there.

[wannabejeep]

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.

I got that same deal back in the day. 72 in a 35 in my truck. Younger and dumber I suppose.

pshhh I've got mine on an IV drip of oil. Every drop of old oil that leaks out of the rear main causes a vacuum that sucks in one new drop. Bam space age oil change technology.
