Snail Trail 4x4

Snail Trail 4×4 – Everything Off-Road

Ever since I could remember I’ve enjoyed taking things apart. My parents noticed that as well. When I was young they gave me many electronics, such as TVs, typewriters, VCRs, and many complicated contraptions that I would disassemble just for the fun of it. When I was 15 I asked my parents if we could buy an old jalopy and fix it up for my 16th birthday. they told me no, it takes too much time, and we don’t have the experience. when I got my license and started driving around an old Toyota it wasn’t soon after that that I was taking it apart as well. I remember a time when my parents were upset because I had the front independent suspension taken apart in the driveway and they couldn’t get their car into the garage.

Love for 4×4’s and Great Outdoors
