I learned at age 10 in a Datsun PU, tractor and anything else that had wheels at my Grandparens ranch in Lucern Valley. After age 16, my Wife and I would wheel anything we had in San Timoteo Canyon. Let me just say that those early Capris were a pretty good little hill climbers and fire road racers.


I found in 2001 when we got the XJ. Read the boards for a year and a half before doing ANY mods. I don't like spending $$$ twice.

I sent in my $$$ and joined in March of '03. I'm currently 42 years of age.

1. When I was 16 I got my first car, a very rusty '59 Peugeot station wagon. The Peugeot 403 had a transverse-leaf front suspension and flexed like crazy. I took it in the woods all over New England, in places I would hesitate now to take an XJ. I only got really stuck once, totally high-centered with two wheels off the ground, and had to call my dad to pull me out with his CJ5. I did remove a lot of unnecessary bits from the bottom of my Peugeot, such as jack supports and a few feet of rocker panel. I didn't know I was wheeling then, of course. I still don't wheel, officially. Just don't pay a lot of attention to where the traveled part of the road ends.

2. Can't remember. A couple of years ago. Joined, lapsed, joined again.

3. 56

Simple questions...........
1. I don't know if I have ever officialy wheeled. I did take my 89 Mustang up
Mt. Yona in North Georgia. That was about 1992. It was kind of like
wheeling. I was the only non 4x4 up there.
