Got my drivers license almost a year ago, I love to go Camping and Mountain Biking. Any chance I get to take my Car on any sort of Dirt, I take it "who am I kidding, I never get the chance". I am very interested in four wheeling, But dont have any knowledge, the right Vehical, or anyone to show me the ropes.

I found out about this site from the Episode of "Tough Truckin" on Spike TV. I have been recently been shoping for my dream truck, and have spent a fortune "in my head". I have an idea of what I want, but no idea of how to get it, how to put it together, or how to use it.

What would you guys suggest?

Buy a used Toyota 4x4 or Tacoma. Try to get a good deal, use edmunds etc.. no need to go to far in debt on a newer truck if you want to get into the wheeling game you will need the money for the buildup. Once you have a 4x4 that is stock or close to stock find achapter near you and get to the trails. There you will discover what you want your truck to be able to do.

And study hard, and finish school. You will need a good job to support this hobby.

if you want to just get into wheeling, find a daily driver vehicle, then pick up a used solid axle 85 toy pickup that some grandpa just drove to get groceries. you should find one for under 3k. wheel it, get use to it, build it, wheel it somemore, break it, fix it, build it up somemore, wheel it, then head over to pirate4x4.com to get some ideas on making a buggy :D

I have been looking for the Papa 85 grocery getter for a couple of years.. :rolleyes: More realistic to get a 86-95 4 runner or truck.
