Erm.... Wtf?

I hope he had his hand on the steering wheel, foot on the brake, and other hand on the ignition. I would never let a 7 year old have complete control of a 4k lb rig.

Around the south, you see bogger/tsl combos frequently. Never seen a Maxxis/SX combo. That must be a new top secret AZ rock combination.
Glad to see your boy enjoying wheeling. I can't wait to get mine behind the wheel one of these days.

Thats cool you are getting him involved. Can I make a suggestion? Get a firm thick peice of foam to put behind him in the seat. This will keep him forward while being supported. Plus then you could get the shoulder straps on him and not just the lap belt.

My daughters are 6 and 4 and have driven my DD on the gravel roads outside of town. When my truck is done I will let them drive it a little too. Just keep the saftey in mind.

We were just out there on Saturday morning, fun little trail, but unfortunately, while we were on the trail, our truck got broken into and everything was stolen from it. When were you guys out there?

[BIGBADJMY]

I let my 7 year old son drive for the first time this year as well.What a feeling!!! There's not a better feeling you get when you see the 2 day perma grin on his face.

[1TFROT]

116*+ welding = shorts are fine by me! did both axles last week in shorts and a Tshirt. plus the tan looks better that way. farmers tan top and bottom!

[DHONDAGOD]

Welding in Arizona summer heat is kinda like standing in the sprinkler anywhere else



I think my son was 9 the first time he drove the cruiser on the trail beginning to end. I didnt even pull it off the trailer or put it back on... He was getting pretty cockey untill late in the day he killed a rim and tire not paying attention

All of my kids learned to drive with my carbed sm465 cruiser.... Now when they get into a normal car they can actually DRIVE....



Nice flop BTW!
