[QUOTE="Ceg, post: 1131275, member: 16221"] I fell in love with wheelin' about 1974 riding around the Moses Lake sand dunes in my step dad's 72 Chevy 4x4 truck. I grew up wheelin' on a ranch with mostly 2 wheel drives. I started wheeling my own truck in 1981. It was a stock 2wd 1974 Ford Courier with a heavy camper shell. Most of the time we would hill climb at the tracks in Riverbank California. Sometimes we would wheel the trail a long the river. Being only 2 wheel drive with close to street tires I learned a lot. You can laugh at my little 2wd pickup, but it out did a lot of other vehicles that were close to stock. In the army I got to wheel a lot of different trucks in Germany. My off time I use to take every back road I could find. Some of them got real muddy and I would get stuck in my car. One of the times was on Christmas Eve. I was stuck and it took us hours to get the car out. We were in the middle of the woods far from any town. No one to pull us out. We did a lot of jacking. I have a picture somewhere. Anyways we got back real late and our girl friends were POed we missed the Christmas family thing. After I got out of the army in 1986, I bought my first 4wd. It was a 1977 GMC Jimmy. I took it everywhere I could fine to wheel in California. Mostly we wheeled in the mountains. Pismo Dunes was a blast. In the fall of 1988 I moved to Washington. We wheeled everywhere we could find around Pierce and King Counties. Ravendale was one of the fun places and then it got closed. We did a lot of exploring around Green Water in the 1989 and 1990. I ran Naches trail once in the Jimmy not knowing anything about the trail. It was tight but we made it through without damaging the trail or the rig. I did get one small dent from an off camber wet area. I just gave that old Jimmy away a few years ago. I owned it for 18 years. [/QUOTE]
