I grew up in a rural area of coastal South Carolina. It seemed like everybody (except my family) used a 4 wheel drive for hunting, fishing, etc. Driving my family's old 2 wheel drive pickup, I routinely got stuck in the mud and deep sand. After getting stuck for the umpteenth time, my Dad and I started looking around and about a year later bought my first "car" ... a used 1976 CJ-7!
