Does no one here see the obvious other than Randii, Deby and I? If you want to get recognized, get involved. It has always seemed to me that Isuzu owners for the most part, do not want to associate with other 4-wheelers. There seems to be some sort of anti Jeep sentiment and Isuzu owners just donÆt want to associate with them for one reason or another. I know very few Isuzu owners who are members of local 4x4 clubs which is the first step to becoming involved in a local, regional and national level to not only promote the sport of 4-wheeling but keep our public lands open to motorized use.
Andy is involved and got noticed at an event. You want to get your picture in a magazine and show others how great your Isuzu is then start by wheeling organized events with active local clubs. There are a lot of great wheeling folks out there that donÆt own IsuzuÆs. Show them how capable your rig is and sometime you just may end up in a magazine.
You may find out there are a bunch of other 4-wheelers out there interested in the same things you are even though they might drive a Jeep, Toyota, Rover or whatever. You may also find out these local clubs do such things as adopt a trail, clean ups, restoration work in conjunction with land managers to promote our sport and keep our trails open.
Funny thing, Last week in Moab during the largest 4x4 event on the planet I did not see one other Isuzu out on the trails (apart from Dallas). I think that kind of tells the story why IsuzuÆs get no respect because they are just not there.
