WHEELIN'

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. Four wheeling?! In a stock SUV like a Ford Explorer?! Well, let me tell you, BamBam has impressed quite a few folks in the mountains of Colorado and the creek beds of Texas and I'm posting the pictures to prove it. I may never have the money, time, nor expertise to turn my truck into a rock crawlin' "Big Dawg", but with a stock suspension, stock automatic, and stock 4.0 V6, BamBam gets me where I want to go. And sometimes I want to go where the Big Dawgs go!

The links below will take you to pictures of the various wheelin' trips we've done. I have to warn you, these pages are graphic intensive and may take a while to download. But, if you're patient, they're worth it! Enjoy!
