He has takin me wheelin a few times and im really interested.I need something that will do good off road and not cost me a crap load of money. I am open to any suggestion or opinions anybody may have. thanks. |

4X4 Ford - What type of wheeling are you planning on doing? Mudding, trail runs, rock crawling, etc.
The type of vehicle you buy should largely be based upon this, and the frequency of wheeling you do as well.
Let us know your thoughts on this and we can steer you in the right direction.

If you're looking for something new or newer, you might want to consider something like a Jeep Unlimited Rubcon. They have selectable lockers front and rear, aggresive off road tires and wheel like the dickens. As you and your interests grow, you can add on and expand your vehicle immensly, especially in the rock-crawling arena.
At least that's my 2 cents - coming from a Toyota / Chevy guy. |

| yeah - I know... But if I were to buy a brand new vehicle and use it primarily for rock crawling, it's hard to beat the Unlimited Rubicon. Sad as it might be. [)] |
