Do you wheel on a regular basis

[Erich]

I couldnt find a poll on this. It seems the consensus is that less than 5% on here wheel on a regular basis, I just have to know...
How often do you wheel your rig? Be honest, Im just curious..
What you vote wont be shown.
I personally go wheeling at least 2x a month.. Its cheap (most the time) and the kids love it when I take them.

[AZXJ]

I work to much! :(

[Bilt4Comfort]

I've wheeled a dozen times since the middle of December at minimum...count me in the 5%.

[Erich]

I work to much! :(

Thank God you do, otherwise there probably would be less people on here in the 5% club.. :fashizzle:

When I'm not broke, upgrading, travelling for work, or recovering from surgury, I wheel at least once a week :)

My junk is ready to roll again !

The bad thing about this thread, out of the 4300+ members here, only 15% actually get on the site regularly.

Sitting on the trailer in the backyard :) Need to do a bit of a shakedown and reload it with all the spares and tools and junk..............

Did I mention you could eat a french fry off the floor of Absolute Offroad ?

[Varkyl]

I would like to wheel more but something always comes up if I don't have solid plans already set.

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

If I got divorced I could wheel more!!!

Oh wait Ohiotj is getting divorced real soon.....

When additions to the family arrive, wheeling happens less and less!!! When the little one reaches school age then I will be wheeling more than once a month!

Come out tomorrow!

Going out to the Florence Junction area tomorrow for a family run. Anyone else gonna be out there? Would love to meet some new members...

[TanTJJim]

I try to wheel my junk pretty much every weekend. The weekends I miss I more than make up for the next weekend. Last weekend I met up with Junky at the Butcher Jones run, then got bored and ran the Sunflower loop later that day. Then Terron wanted to run Upper Woody the next day so I could kill my door. I figured that makes up for my lack of wheeling this weekend so I can help some buddies fix/upgrade their junk. And every once in a while I take a weekend off to kill some paper too. :)

[Tay-J]

I was wheeling every weekend. Buying a house now and working on projects is going to keep me from wheeling for the next month or so though. Might end up throwing my jeep together enough to wheel again like I have done a few times this past month.

[AZLugz]

I run pretty tight on 2x a month, sometimes more and once in a while less.

Trails are primarily 2.5-3.5 with some that seem harder but not sure if any would be considered up to a 4.0, the Jeep is well trained but I ain't....but getting a lot of practice time!!! :smug:

[Clay]

I end up going out every other weekend. Sometimes life happens as a single Father. Today, I get to spend the day watching my daughters team play volleyball. Next Friday, I go to Denver for a three day volleyball tournament. Just seems to go on and on. But she is a junior in High School, so in a couple more years, I expect to wheel more.

[Papa Mo]

I try to go out every weekend...my son loves it as much if not more than I do.

[RalphA]

Since we are retired and have had the Jeep for almost three years, we probably average three times a week in the cool months. We have 10,000 miles on the backroads to prove it. Mostly 2 to 3 trail ratings. I check the Jeep often and am pleasantly surprised at how well the drive train and suspension are holding up. It now has 90,000 miles on it. :smug:

My rig has 80K on it.....30K HARD miles on it though. Use to be my wifes DD....til I got ahold of it.

[Wayco]

I'm time challenged, due to the number of things we like to do. I still manage to wheel several times a month. With seven hours a week at the gym, five hours a week ballroom dancing, it's hard to fit in bicycles, backpacking, rock climbing and scuba diving on a regular basis.
Most of my trails are in the 3.5 range, but this month it's been the 3.0 trails with less equipped rigs or solo. Wheeling opportunities that pop up during the week are limited, and it's hard to find anybody to wheel with when they occur. My weekends are crazy, Sharon keeps me hopping for most of those. :aagh:

[rondog62]

my friends and i try to wheel at least every other week we are in the prescott area

[Antman]

As I am retired, I wheel more often, although I still have a job. I am usually gone one week a month Training and Certifying the Grey steel workers of the world.

I try to get out every weekend, but usually 2 to 3 weekends a month depending
on what TC and the boys are running and hitting the trails around here like
Phoenix Park wash off of 277 or doing Maintenance runs to the Cracks and I am
starting to explore out there more and more.:)

[yellow_X]

I work to much to wheel as much as I would like to

[Digger]

I'm out there every weekend most of the times it's Saturday and Sunday, I don't always go with a group. I have hobbies that take a Jeep to get me to where I want to go in the AZ Outbacks (photography, hiking, metal detecting, gold panning, rock hounding, ghost towning, camping, exploring and playing with the dogs)... did I leave anything out... oh yeah, and a bit of wheeling. :)
Doing it, cause I can !

[terron gregg]

i usually wheel every other weekend this is not the only hobby i have but id like to be able to get out every weekend

[Andrew F]

I pretty much never get to wheel because of school and work. When the times there, the money isn't, and when the money is there, the time isn't. My wheeling time is pretty much restricted to Sunday afternoons, but that is dependent on homework and studying.

[rum97tj]

We try to get out every weekend but lately its been every other weekend.

[CooL_DaD]

I whel alot , not that its always rock crawling, a lot of desert trails near my house , But its still wheeling, right?

[jpotts]

We try to get out every weekend but lately its been every other weekend.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I get out as much as I possible can, but there are a lot of other things that I have to juggle.

[HYDMAN]

I get out every other weekend. At some point I would like to make it every weekend.

[azcharlie]

I've been really lucky this year. So far I've been able to wheel just about every weekend running at least two or more 4.0 trails each time.

[kemolewis]

I try to wheel at least twice a month but would love to wheel more often than that but the wife hates this hobby so I have to spend time with her too, I GUESS

[Blkruby]

every weekend sometimes twice:aagh::aagh:

Every weekend when possible. Been slipping out from work to do a little "team building" on weekdays even! :laugh2:

[Twister_ems]

I dont get out as often as Id like. Last time I went was around xmas. School, work and stuff for school keeps me busy 6 days a week. I cant even find time to install my new lift kit!

[joe002]

We’ve been able to get out a little over every other week.

[ArizonaSunshine]

Tomorrow would be 6 x this year. Plan on going to WT on 22nd. Guess avg. wld be 2x month. Still a noob so not into 4.0 * Besides I don't have any lockers yet : ( Def. must have : )

So sell the kar you're driving to fix your jeep, at least you can drive it to work. Or sell the jeep and go away, again. I've never understood why someone would bother keeping something they can't drive for over 6 months or so.

And why can you use swear words in you sig?

Wow, thats more wheeling in one weekend than some people do all year on here. LMAO
Never done the sunflower loop, would like to some day.

[ROKBITR]

I have wheeled both weekends so far this month, and plan on some this coming weekend again too. Don't always get pics (too busy driving). Mostly close to home, don't get a chance to make it down the hill too much to wheel. I consider myself in the 5% club, even though it may not always be "hardcore" trails.

[SHNIPE]

Cause my jeep will suck onroad when its done. would you sell your jeep if you started swapping both axles, custom suspension and a few other goodies how long would you wait till you sold it? And if it was ugly enough that no one would wanna buy it, then what? Why sell whats paid for and 90% complete?

[Wzzl13]

Sorry for the confusion, I work out at the Barry Goldwater Range. I get out every weekend but it is not in any of my Jeeps. Its in '07 Chevy Silverados, all stock execpt the V8. If my schedule EVER gives me a weekend day off, I'm there with y'all. Unfortunately, my Jeeps are are lonely....

[howyadoin]

I wheel at least one day a week, and often 2-3 times......I may have issues?:sick2:

Can I count getting to my hunting and fishing spots??????

[militiakrawler]

Over a year I probly avg twice a month.
I am an owner/operator truck driver and spend about 2 months on the road before coming home for time off. I have had 3 "vacations" since i bought my '08 2dr Rubicon in Sept '07(my first jeep,wheeled a lifted 4dr silverado for 2yrs b4) I stay home for 1-2 weeks and wheel about every other day. Some of those trips are 2-3 day camping trips. I think I spend about 20-25% of my "home" life on the trails around the Prescott area.

I KNOW I have issues!

once or twice a month.. when the jeeps not broken.

[DrewDog]

I try to wheel every week unless the Jeep is broke or I'm out of town.....D

[lancetkenyon]

Only missed 2 weekends since Thanksgiving. Usually with at least 2 trails 4.0 and up per weekend.

[Wayco]

Just got back from four days of wheeling in Moab, so I checked my calender to see how many days I have wheeled this year. Twenty-six days of wheeling so far this year! Five of those days where wheeling my GMC Sierra into the remote camping sites that we like so much, but most of it has been on moderate (3.5) to difficult (4.0) trails with Hyjak.
I got a great compliment from Sy (Syota) while wheeling in Moab last week. He hadn't seen me wheeling since last fall and noted that I was a lot smoother on difficult obstacles like Hells gate:

It really helps to get in some seat time before you do a big trip like Moab.:smug:

[azcharlie]

I'm back to every other weekend. We are so busy at work right now plus its to damn hot to wheel unless its a night run.

[LJYJ]

Where is everyone going tomorrow for the rainy day 4x4 trip? Nothing like 4x4 in the rain, thunder and wind in the AZ desert!!
