How often do you actually wheel?

[1920SF]

I shoot for once a month but seasonally it gets shifted to more like once every two months in winter, more in the summer...all of it work dependent as well.

Not as much as I want to is probably the best answer.

You shoot pistol right? When I was heavily involved in High Power Rifle it did not leave much time in summer either. Eventually I (and my wife) got sick of 2 or 3 day matches every holiday weekend. I thought of getting back to pistol just to try to go Double Distinguished.

Kevin,
I did the High Power/CMP bit for about 5 years with the yearly Camp Perry trip. For the past four years i've been doing alot of practical pistol shooting - IPSC/USPSA and Steel shooting. Like wheeling it's another cheap hobby

Distinguished in rifle is quite an accomplishment - congrats.


Now back to the wheeling discussion...I talked with Ron this am - sounds like you folks had a great time at Florida Road.

When I lived in Florida there was a spot really close by so I went just about every week after we found this little hidden place. I haven't been at all since I moved to The Lou though. No where close and I lost half of my recovery equipment in a relationship breakup, so I'm not really equipped to go without a group for support. I'm probably gonna turn Cooter into a camping/light duty offroading truck. Gut it, build a box in the back for a mattress and hit a few state parks.

Almost
Every night between April and December
Minimum 3 times a week.


Your interpertation of wheel, i think, is to conquor obstacles and gravity.

My interpertation is to get where i wana be
either a good fishing spot on the north or south shore of L.I.
or into my deer camp which can be difficult depending on time of year.

I go surf casting almost every night after work ,thats why i drive the Guzzler daily.


I dont like to abuse my daily driver.

I did my conquering 20 yrs ago in a CJ-5.

I just tell people the only part with 94K on it is the speedometer.

so kevin, define "wheeling"
do you mean as in a hard wheeling trip or anything off highway?

i typically go out every other weekend, always off highway, yet not always with the intension of going "wheeling".

Good point. Lets just say anywhere you actually need 4wd.

 

[marc olivares]

i'd be willing to bet a 4pack of Boddingtons that with that said, it would change the vast majority of your poll results...lol

Changes my answer quite bit.

When I lived in Oregon and the Tillamook was an hour away, every weekend.

Since I came back to Indiana, once or twice in the past two years.

There is no free legal wheeling in Indiana, closest pay place is three hours, nearest real wheeling is in Kentucky and that's eight hours. Real, real wheeling in the UP is ten hours away. Add the fact that my sister's tow rig was stolen (that I used to pull my trailer) and it's gotten pretty hard to go wheeling.

8hours

you done drove in the wrong dirixtion thar buddy

silver lake Migh cant be more then 2.5 hours from you and thats real wheeling for sure

get that engine done I'll get you stuck paul

Several times a week, my 3 year old "makes" me drive out the "bumpy road" and more than once we've had to leave the 109 or the Rangie in the backyard until we could recover it with the winched Disco.

 

[Blueboy]

hell, that's all the time since its always in 4wd!


actually for Blueboy, its been over a year now - basically since we moved to NY; land of regulations and private land.

only trail I've found close to home was actually a hiking path that showed up as a "Jeep trail" on the GPS topo map.

and that ride was totally illegal although I would have plead lost to the law since he still rides with PA Antique plates.

great trail though.

Good point. Lets just say anywhere you actually need 4wd.

My classification is probably best defined as: Uses the vehicle(s) for purposes other than those described as normal road travel.

So, for the series, it rarely leaves 4wd/LOW, and it generally is "off-road" every day it's driven, which is at last 2 or 3 times a week. But it is too much fun to run down to the corner store for a six-pack, so there's at least one trip up the road a week when the weather is good.

D2, well, I make it a point to take her to town once a week to keep her joints lubed. Other than that, she's in low-box and basically a self-propelled Job-Box and is generally off-highway here on the hillside almost everyday. Since it's quite hilly here, I find use for the CDL quite often.

If I have to go way up the mountain and I don't need a winch, the series gets the nod. If there's a tree involved, then the D2 has top priority (winch). If I'm hauling firewood out of the woods, then it's the series.

RRC, wife's truck, never been offroad (for us) except up on the mountain here. This one is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites.

I wonder if the McCoys and the Hatfields drove Rovers????????
