In the beginning there were Ric (Bushy), Mike( NastyCJ), Bud(Twisted) & Curtis (Iron Pig) ... sitting in one of our garages, sipping a cool one, planning our next offroad run, helping each other fix, build our trucks.
(... For pictures from years a go when this group began to assemble ( like coagulated porridge), go to ... http://www.mudmeisters.4t.com/ and http://www.trailmeisters.4t.com/)
But the makeup of the group has changed ... by expanding & including the people & vehicles that best fill the roll of a 4WILDRIDE. Now we include Steve (Badthumper), Steve (Lowrad), Ken (Bart), Jano (CrazyFrenchman), Darin (Certified Nuts), & The Brown Bros. (Ben, Adam ).
These members are dedicated to running their rigs as often as they can, on trails that challenge both the driver & vehicle & at the same time ... socialize with the other members. Most of us live within 30 minutes of each other. We assist each other when needed & leave empty beer cans at each other's residence.
As a BASIC, our trucks run 33 to 35 inch tires, most are locked at the rear as a minimum & all are winched. Beyond that, a front locker or snorkel is about the only differentiating factor. This means that all trails are equally challenging within the group & THAT is what makes it fun.
