Offroad-Express

I bought a 4x4 so I could get home on time from hunting trips so my wife wouldn't have a reason to rip the ears off me. Now I get home even later than I used to, I hardly go hunting any more (can't afford the ammo with petrol being the price it is), there's mud in the driveway, dirty snatch straps in her washing machine (shackles go in the dishwasher), and the kids walk mud right through the house (obviously wasn't me). Oh yeah, the kids. Oops, forgot to pick them up coz I was working on the truck -- uh-ohhh, forgot about dinner, I was working on the truck -- damn, supposed to be at the in-laws but I was working on the truck...

Actually the kids love it. Yeah, like -- "Hi Mum, did you keep our tea warm?" "Hi Mum, we had a cool day - we got lost, then we nearly rolled!" "Hi Mum, we're cold and wet because Dad got stuck in the river, can you run us a bath?" "Hi Mum, where do you want our muddy clothes?"

Good to know there's somewhere I can go where folks will understand!

guday yes all sounds like the stuff that happened to me , enjoy the forum they don't bite ,

yep its a good bug to be bitten by huh.

Hey Cutbak,

Welcome to the group however take 2 disprin and go to sleep. By that description its too late, you are already infected way past the curing stage. At least you got the kids on side

Welcome to the 4x4 addict support group
Where in HB are you ??

Wait till you let the kids drive the truck!! My 12 yr old loves it
Just dont tell mum!!

Although, it sounds like you live in the sh*t, just the depth varies.....

Oh, and Hi.

"Hi everyboby, my names Cutbak and im a ... a 4wd-aholic "

Welcome to the darkside bro

Welcome. I am a Jeepaholic.....

Remember, changes that you make are to enhance "security" of the occupants of your vehicle on your adventures. Security comes first!

Welcome aboard, there is one you havent gotten to yet (or maybe forgot to mention). That is the "You spend more time on that 4wd than with me" (also money can be substituted for time in some cases)

usualy followed by a night on the couch in the garage, or on the creaper under the truck, or ...

The best thing I know of to work around this is a "Hey Kids we will go for a drive and get out of your mum's way for a while" but as I was there and a friend (both with 4wd's) and we all left together a while was longer than she thought and it didn't realy work for him.
