Confucis (and everbody else here) say "longest journey begin with first step". You must take this first step weed-hopper.

Same here. Actually after 34 years of marrage my wife says "why don't you go Jeeping and let me have some time alone in the house"

She never had any interest in Jeeps or offroading or even the woods for any reason. But she never tried to stop me from enjoying it.

Tell your boyfriend to get over it. What does he think a relationship is? Having to be up each other's ass all the time. That will grow old soon. If he's not willing to have a good time with you doing something that you like to do, tell him you'll see him when you get back.

My wife doesn't go with me, either, and she thinks I'm a little crazy for meeting up with complete strangers (from the forum) for runs! My first 4 hour newbie run (the week I started on here) turned into an 8 hour disaster that was still one of the best times I've had wheeling yet! You just gotta get out there and do it!

Most people who don't offroad have no idea what its like to deliberately try to get a vehicle stuck or dirty. Its a weird feeling at first. haha Its like deliberately driving a car over parking blocks. If hes a normal guy.. he'll like it.
Boy that's the truth about non Jeepers. First time I told one of my friends about when I drove in the water along a shallow lake shore, she said "you took a brand new $20,000 car( her word not mine) and drove it into a lake?"

I said "thats what Jeeps are for"

My hope is the BF doesn't want her going out with a bunch of guys because common sense says it isn't safe.

Most everyone that has posted is a guy saying their wife won't go out to the middle of nowhere with them. I assume we are talking about a young lady here, so the boyfriend has a right to be concerned. While we all no she will be safe and taken care of, it is a sick world and he doesn't know any of the people she will be spending her day with

That being said, if he doesn't want to go take a friend and go enjoy your Jeep.

I like the saying "live every day like it's your last...'cause someday you'll be right"

Thanks for all of your replies guys! You give me hope! I will tell him I want to go alone if he wont come with me and see what he says.

He's been dragging me to racetracks and stupid car shows for years. He just doesn't understand that I don't want to go fast and look perty I want to go slow and get dirty!

Yeah tell him in a Jeep you can have as much fun and thrills at 10mph as you can have at 140mph in a car
