AGE?

[rednk1980]

So just curious how old you were when you started wheelin, and whos the youngest person on the board? (really board need something to do  )

For example: i started wheelin when i was 16 and now im 17 

[Duffil]

started wheeling at about 17/18 and I'm 23 now.

[Rockcrawlintoy]

started when 16 and i am 23 now

[boggerunner]

i was goin 4wheeling when i was 8, ice ponds up in minnesota in my dads jeep and lots of mud. I got to drive when i was 12 in moab, but it was still in a jeep, got my first 4wd toy when i was 19 and im now 23

I've been wheeling in my grandfathers ford f-150 since I was around 1-2 years old. Slinging mud on the hunting trails up in Tahema.

I was actually driving the trails when I was 8 years old...

As for rock crawling and getting into my own rig, I think I was 17 years old. My wife which was then my girlfriend wanted a old Toyota pickup so we bought her one, she got tired of it after a month of driving and it offically became my DD to work. I got involved with 4x4wire shortly after and found out about the Winter Fun Fest. I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen, actual trailrides setup specifically for offroading!! 

Ended up being one of the founders of norcal4x4 (of Sacramento) and the rest is history...

So i'd say i've been wheeling from 17 and i'm 23 now.. be 24 in Feb.

Nearly 7 years.

In that time i've went from bone stock 1988 Toyota pickup to a highly modified 1982 Toyota pickup which still doesn't satisfy me

  Yea i've heard a few people on the board say the same thing. Typically when people meet me they think i'm more like 16-17 years old from looks.

I grew up in Yuba City/Marysville area but I've hunted for many years up in Tahema. Back in the old Pelican jeep trail, i've wheeled with the Trailhunters as well. They're all around Redding, Red Bluff area.

I remember sitting on my dad's lap steering his '84 landcruiser when I was around 4 years old.

[gotrocks]

I started wheeling when I was 13 and got my first rig when I was 14 a 84 GMC Jimmy on 35's.  Even though I didn't have a license my dad would take me up to the mountains so I could drive.  So now after owning 10 toyotas and now a comp buggy I have been wheeling for 8 almost 9 years and at almost 22 I am totally addicted.

I started wheeling at 13 with my brother in his 93 v6 4runner.  That thing got wheeled to hell.  We used to go out to Folsom lake (i grew up there) every weekend and BBQ and he would let me drive it around oak beach in rocklin.  I got my 86 xj for my first car and 16 and built it into a crawler and now i will be 19 in one month.
