Personally I go 7-8 and 2-3 of them are Thursday thru Sunday. The others are day trips. I ride with CORE but do the Jeepster Jam in June when it can work out for me. Did the Scott Fields ride back in...May also
With all of the repairs it's been a wild ride the last couple of years!
I try to hit URE once a month for a day trip when it's open just to get the tires dirty since its only 1.5 hrs away. I like to try to go at least once or twice a year on overnight multi day trips to the flats or Harlan if I can. This year those are out because my vacation time was used for the Power Tour.
I do Pick&Choose, but don't go 1/2 as much as I used to. Even driving around home, bet CJ hasn't been cranked in a month! My Bad. Might have to charge the 9+ year old bat trey.
Shoot for one a month at least. Didn't happen this year with buying a house remodel and moving. Had to work on the house on the days off instead of ride.
I still want to get out west and ride. The last part of this year should have a trip a month and next year hopefully more.
None, but when I did I went to callalantee 2 times a month for few years and made Harlan fall crawl or weekend before every year for 4-5 years! I will be starting back very soon God willing... I miss the rush and night rides on hard ass obstacles! Lol
2014 is the last time my rigs left storage for an extended amount of time. I kid myself and say I’ll get them DD/trail worthy about every so often...spend a weekend or two wrenching, then let them all sit again just long enough for whatever i worked on last time to need replacing again. Still get the Bronco out to Oregon Inlet every so often though.
Have only been three times this year. Would love more, but kids, family and house say otherwise. And it’s unlikely I go again this year due to other commitments.
Planning another Moab or even Rubicon trip in 2019 though...
2003-2005 - Every 2-3 weeks
2005-2007 - Maybe 2-4 times each year in my stock Samurai (was building my cab truck, and working 6 days/week)
2008-2010 - 8-10 times each year
2011-2015 - 6 times each year
2016- present - 2 times total? My last wheeling trip was May of 2016 at the Flats, then I took my Samurai apart in June/July
I bought a stock YJ a couple of months ago hoping to get back out on the trail this fall, but it developed a fuel line leak, and the rear pinion bearings were shot, so that isn't going to happen. I'm probably looking at late 2019 at best (most likely early 2020) before I get the YJ built and back on the trails.
As others have said, with a wife, kid, family members near by, and house, spare time to go wheeling and work on stuff is hard to come by.
20-30 times a year, mostly at UNF with the kids. Not much need in going a long way away, I wouldn't hit most of the hard stuff with them in tow. 99-09 just about every weekend and all over the country.
Went once this year (at least it was a week in Moab) prior to that was all the way back in 2012. Kids in college killed my wheeling. Hopefully one more year and that will be behind me...
7-10 times a year for the last 4 years. 2001-2013 had traveling job and some years I’d get no trail time then a few years 6-8 trips then some of the sites I worked was a Wheelin trip every day getting to and from work.
3-4 years ago, I went probably 6x a year
last year 3x
this year 0. and the rig is getting sold now. Places are just too far away for me now to really have fun.
I’ve had 3 back surgeries since October 2016, so none.
I have had to drive the trail rig to work yesterday and today, and occasionally take the dog to the dog park in it. Otherwise, it just sits, making sure my driveway doesn’t float away.
I constantly question myself as to why I even keep it, but its paid for.
It amazes me the wheeling arm chair qaurterbacks here on nc4x4 that havent been in years but will speak as if they go every weekend with over whelming knowledge. Just odd to me.
Many I know of that dont say much and have tons of knowledge and trail time.
