Harry Wagner
My name is Harry Wagner and 4 Wheel Parts was kind enough to let me be part of their blog. In addition to being a longtime 4 Wheel Parts customer, I am also a freelance writer and photographer who has written for Off-Road Adventures (you know, the FREE magazine for 4 Wheel Parts customers) for more than five years. You might have read stories about some of my adventures in ORA or seen features I have written on awesome 4x4s owned by guys just like you. While I still plan to write and shoot photos for Off-Road Adventures, there are a lot of little ideas kicking around in my head that I would like to share with you and are better suited to this format than a full article on the pages of ORA magazine.
I grew up in the back of my family's Land Cruiser exploring Northern California trails like the Rubicon and Fordyce Creek. In fact, my father still owns the '66 FJ40 that he bought new, so it should come as no surprise that I drive Toyotas. My primary transportation is a '98 4Runner that is built to get me into the backcountry and is still comfortable on the road. It has been upgraded with:
For more difficult trails, my '87 pickup is put into service. In addition to the unique color scheme and shortened sheet metal, the pickup features:
I spend as much time as I can outdoors four wheeling, rock climbing, backpacking, shooting photos, and camping. Some of my favorite spots include Death Valley, the Black Hills, and Moab. If you see me on the trail, be sure to stop and introduce yourself. I'm always looking to meet fellow four wheeling enthusiasts and would love to get your feedback on the blog.
