Mountain Explorers 4x4
Mountain Explorers 4x4
We are a small group of people in the Spokane, Wa. area that enjoys off-roading and other 4x4 related activities.
We encourage the preservation of the environment and safe use of God's creation. The world is here for us to use, but use wisely. We respect nature and all creatures in their natural habitats.
We also promote the safe use of all 4x4 and off-road vehicle types.
Myself
My name is Allan Lundberg. I was born here in Spokane in June of 1981. In the last several years, trucks and 4x4's have become a hobby and a large part of my life. I have accumulated several trucks and 4x4's over the years...almost too many. My friends and I mostly have and deal with Chevy stuff, but we don't exclude any other makes or models. I mostly work on '73-'87 Chevy's because of parts availability/interchangability and almost everyone carries parts for them in stock; new or used.
The Blazabbit and "Herbie on Steroids" at my place, Mud Days 2008. Both Rigs played in integral role in Vince and Shawna's wedding which was on CMT's "My Big Redneck Wedding" Season 2 Finale episode 208
