[QUOTE="nhl_bullitt, post: 735776, member: 7451"] Wheelin has always been in my roots. Grew up around my dad's samurais and wranglers on 31s. Not too cool, but cruising around in those in the woods was exciting for an 8 year old. By the time I was 16 it was bolt-on city and 33-35s on my cherokees for awhile. Honestly, seeing the bouncers around 2011 really rejuvenated my love for the hobby. Made me want to learn more about aggressive fabrication and what all goes into building rigs that conquer climbs that jeeps on 35s could never do. To this day, I love doing tube work and helping friends build their buggies. I am not into sxs or quads at all (I own a polaris quad btw, love it around the house, just not for offroad parks). I really just love fullsize buggies from scratch. Financially, yes it is an expensive hobby, especially if you include the tow rig you trust to get you from A to B. I've learned as long as I don't try to keep up with the race buggies, I'll be alright and I can justify what I have in my set up. It provides me with lots of fun with friends (new and old). 16 year old me would love the knowledge I've gained over the years and there is still so much to figure out. As for the actual wheelin, there is damn near nothing I love more than being out in the woods on a 40-75 degree day with my friends and wife. It is simply a fun time. With out them, it would be very hard to stay an enthusiast. And a side note, it is even nice getting to chat with people I've never met due to sharing this same hobby. [/QUOTE]
