I was just wondering what everyone first started getting
into off roading with and if you have upgraded at all.

I started with an 89 Isuzu trooper I bought for
$350 with no heat no interior.

It was a little 2.6 4 cylinder and 5-speed manual.

My first off road toy was a 91 ford ranger. It was a 2wd, but had a lsd, and some super swampers on it. It wasn't to bad for simple trails.
