Welcome to 4 Wheel Explorers! We are outdoor enthusiasts that enjoy getting out and exploring places new to us, as well as revisit others we've been to many times. Our most popular destinations are old abandoned mines and ghost towns. Other trips are to get out and get some fresh air, and have a nice picnic enjoying nature. That nature could be anything from cacti in full bloom with green grass to views from a mountain top on a clear, blue sky day.

During the winter months we are located in the Mohave Desert near Yucca, AZ. This area of the Mohave desert is where the fauna of the Sonoran desert to the south, and Great Basin Shrub Steppe to the north intermix. There are areas where we have Saguaro cactus growing alongside Joshua tree and Juniper pines. Recently we have been enjoying visiting old water windmills and springs in the areas surrounding Aubrey Peak Wilderness and around Alamo Lake.

If you're looking for new challenges to conquer such as climbing waterfalls or see how fast you can go, I'm not the guy to tag along with. I drive at a very relaxed pace and stop whenever we feel like it, or if we see something interesting. We do not charge for you to come along on trips, but we do ask that be responsible and come prepared. Whether you're new to the area or just looking to get out and explore, you're welcome to come along.

Our Build Projects

I'm a #builtnotbought kind of guy, if I can do it myself I probably will. It was pretty frustrating looking online for ideas and finding mostly paid advertisements and sites that require a membership so they can spam you and sell your info. Frustrated, I opted to document my builds and repairs on my vehicles here. During the Arizona winters I can be found in a '93 ZJ Grand Cherokee. Once it gets warm we head back to Montana and explore an '02 Toyota 4 Runner every chance I get.

NOTE: Only the Roof Rack has an active link, the others are work in progress. This was published intentionally this way as a form of motivation to finish them. Videos will eventually replace the static images of each build page as well.
