Hey all-

I'm Chuck, new to Front Range 4x4, but def. not new to wheeling or the forum world. I'm from Centennial, and wheel with my primary club, the Rocky Mountain Ford Truck Club (RMFTC) but I'm always down to wheel with new people. I already know a few people here, Warrlord, Hypoid, 1freaky1, and a few others, so I'm not too much of a stranger, or at least hope I'm not!

Little bit about my rigs and my history. I started wheeling my beloved baby, my 1993 Ford Bronco when I first got it in 2006. I need to thank Larry (Warrlord) and a few others who we wheel with for really taking me under his wing and helping teach me how to wheel. I've had some history with the Bronco, long story so I'll cut it short and get on to some pics. I ended up loosing the transmission November of 2007, at that point I was wheeling with it and my old truck, my 2002 Ford Ranger FX4, and I decided to sell the Bronco to a fellow club member in RMFTC as a parts truck. He ended up pulling the motor out, and out of sheer luck I ended up getting it back when he wanted it off his property. So the truck is currently sitting without a motor and a shot tranny, soon to be rebuilt and put back on the trail.

My 2002 Ranger I had been working on, I bought may of 2007 and had a mild build going on with it. I didn't have any lift on it, but I was able to clear 33's, had a stout rear end rebuilt on it, and wheeled it hard. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I wanted and I ended up returning it back to it's stock form and sold it to make way for my daily driver, my 1996 Ford F250.... though not having a trail ready rig is driving me to insanity....

ANYHOW, enough talk, I'll get some pics of all the rigs up for ya all!!!

At this point I honestly don't know, my original goal was May of this year, but I'm going back to school and money is really tight right now. I'm hoping mid summer to have it back on the road and start building it bigger from there

Welcome to the forum! Always great to get another full size on here.

That cage of Sean's is looking good, isn't it? Did he even look at the light when he went through it? Looking forward to wheeling with you! Nice that you already know some folks here, too...

Glad you made it over here Chuck :fing:

You'll find it's a great group of folks here that share a passion for wheeling instead of the, "My XXX is better than your XXX" passion, that is prevalent on some other boards. That being said................Get that Bronco going so you can go wheeling :D
