Sad isn't it?

4wd gets you moving. And that's it. It doesn't get you stopped.

I like it when people ask me- "so how fast are you going when you go 4 wheeling?" They're all disappointed when I tell them I normally don't go over 5-10 unless it's a fire-road. And if it's lots of rocks, it's called crawling.
Baja is TOTALLY different from 4-wheeling. They are designed with long travel suspension and $$$$ of other modifications. Things that no normal person could afford.

But that being said, I have seen more rear ends by women in SUV's, but more "off the road" accidents by MEN in SUVs and Pickups. They think that just because they have 4 wheel drive they can fly 100mph in the snow.... bad misconception.

An 'Almond Brown' 2003 Dodge Grand 4WD Caravan is my first car.
I did the math
We get a new car every 2 years.. and I'm 13..
My mom gets the new one, and my dad uses the old one..
Who cares if I'll look like a fool driving it?

I have to agree with most everything said on here.

I never got into 'wheelin myself but a few of my friends have gotten into it really heavily. One guy I know took his perfectly fine '85 toyota Pickup to one of the local shop. 3 months and $12,000 later it came out a wheeling machine! with 38" tires, huge lift (I don't know exactly" lockers and a TOTALLY CUSTOM suspension. The guys there designed it and built it, with my friends truck being the prototype. Along with that they tossed in a 350 small block chevy engine in it to spin the wheels (Toyota 2.2 liter was a little small ).

2 weeks later, it broke... Apparantly the guys who built it forgot about something... when they lifted it, they somehow got a screw to in right under the radiator, so the first time he took it out, he went in a big dip, and popped a hole in it. Doh! after getting a new radiator, and the screw problem, he decieded to put an EFI system in it, instead of the carbuerator that was on... big mistake... after installing it and starting it up, he was suprised to see that he had just blown his engine! I'm not the big auto-tech guy here, so I don't know how he managed it, but needlessly to say after spending 12k on a truck, more on a radiator and EFI system he doesnt have the money to buy a whole new engine... so the best wheelin truck this side of the rockies sits silent... sigh...
