Does your family hate the fact that you want to fourwheel and/or mod your Jeep?

I thought it would be fun to do this trail run organized by CO4x4.org and then go camping, so I mentioned it to my family. Here are the responses:

Mom: "I don't know about being a passenger on that... that just doesn't sound like fun."

Sister: "Meh."

Dad: Paraphrased, but basically: "Hell no. Why do you think we always want to do what you want to do?" :confused:

I just love the support! lol... My parents pretty much would rather die than see me "build" my Jeep, and they are very anti-4 wheeling... I wish they could see the light. Maybe I could get my sister into it, she's only 13! Oh well, I'm still goin'.

have they every gone before? Did you scare the crap out of them at any point? :) My father in law thought that I was f'in crazy and them I convinced him that I was going to go "sightseeing" in regular streets and ended up on difficult trails. He had a blast and now understands

Thats how i get people to go with me. Tell them its just sightseeing and some pretty lakes and stuff. Then take a nice "trail" with wicked boulders. They always love it.

My dad loves this stuff. He bought my XJ from me! One sister drove a YJ for a while and the other one is on her 2nd ZJ. Its a jeep thing around here.
 
girlfriend likes it, doesnt really care, but like me to take her camping

mom couldnt care less as long as they dont have to pay for anything... :D

dad thinks its pretty cool
 
Some of my family likes to go wheeling and some don't. The ones that don't care are ok with what I do as long as it keeps me out of legal trouble.

In a nutshell, yes to all of the above.

That is exactly why I take vacations FROM my family and not WITH them. I figure that since they get to harass me 50 weeks out of the year, I am entitled to a couple weeks parole. What they do for fun? Beats the hell out of me... they can bob for corn-dogs at the state fair for all I care.

Solution? Fire them and get a new family. Since we ran the youngest daughter off, we have a spare room & bath. Rent is cheap but the wheelin is not real abundant out here. :dunno:
 
Let's see

Wife is going with me for a week long 4wd vacation in CO in two weeks

Sister and BIL have "wheeled" (4wd sightseeing) 3-4x already this year

Oldest brother owns a Honda dual sport bike

Next brother owns an exFS 4wd Full-size Bronco

Next brother owns a VW thing

Naw no problems with wheelin' im my family
 
Never done anything to scare 'em... My mom and sister have actually never been. My dad's gone, but I wasn't driving...

Never asked them.....Don't really care anyway.

Live your own life, screw those that would keep you down.

Heh, yeah I totally agree. I'd still like someone to go with, so I'll as the friends.
 
My parents support nothing that I do.

Of course that lack of support led me to getting my XJ as they talked me out of restoring an SJ...

But before that they hated that I drag raced my Mustang, and that I blow money on cars in general.
 
My g/f's intro to offroading was following OneTon up Moab Rim........ she decided on the best way to describe what was happening to her coworkers back home: "A bunch of guys teaching their Jeeps to be mountain goats."

I've shown the Fall Fling DVD that Troy & Shari shot to the rest of my family. And their jaws more or less dropped.
