ok....at my school every senior has to do a project on a topic they choose. With this topic they have to find a consultant in the field of your topic, do 15 hours of experience ,and a service project of somekind. The 15 hours of service can be done as job shadowing. I am also required to interview this person 2-3 times.


I chose my topic to be four wheeling.

Now what I want to do is find some kind of 4x4/truck shop in the greater bay area to do my experience hours in. I have already tried the local shops like 4 wheel parts and some truck accesories place and they said no.

Now what I would like to know is, if there is anybody who works in a 4x4 shop(bay area area) or someone who does enough of it out of their garage, who would be my consultant and let me job shadow them for 15 hours and interview them

Thanks for reading

Instead of trying to work a 4x shop why don't you get with one of the 4x4 clubs in your area nd see about assisting in a trail maintenace program where you actually get to do some wheelin. Take a video camera and makea short documentary as your project to show the enviro-nazis that we wheelers actually help and maintain our environment.

that was what I was planning on doing my service as.....see the thing is my experience hours have to be a seperate deal from my service project.....Im having ahard time find a consultant.....If I cant get one...im thinking of either using a different topic or reformatting my current one

I agree, go on a trail maintenance run. its tons of fun, you help the environment, and get your school sheot done when your not even tryin to.

did you tell the guys at the 4x4 shops that you would basically work for free?
sweep the floor,
move around tires
empty oil tins
if I had a shop I get all the free lackies I could afford

Yeah I tried....but they all said something about liability and corpopration crap......I mean I am friggin' 18 and Ive done work at a tranny shop
