My name is Fred Sorensson, Assistant Manager for the Van Nuys 4 Wheel Parts store. I've been with 4 Wheel Parts for 4 years now. I started with the Thousand Oaks store as a salesman, then transferred to the Van Nuys store and was promoted to Asst. Manager.
At the Thousand Oaks store I organized trail runs with customers, which evolved into the So Cal customer appreciation annual run featured in Off-Road Adventures. I have been off-roading for the last 11 years, frequenting most all of the So Cal trails and areas from Last Chance canyon to Anzo-Borrego desert, and from Oceana Dunes to the historic Mojave road trail. The best part is exploring the deserts and seeing the history of the areas, such as old mining towns lost to time and Native-American petro glyphs dotting the hillsides and canyons. By far the thrill of getting away from the cities and into the unknown desert keeps me going and dreaming up the next trip.
Working with 4 Wheel Parts has given me the opportunity to meet fellow Jeepers, offer advice and expertise about Jeeps, and see customers' rides evolve as my own Jeep did. I'm known as the Jeep expert at the Van Nuys store and, although I don't claim to be an expert, my knowledge is extensive. From suspension lifts to gearing and dabbling in other modifications, I can say "I've been there, done that." I started off-roading with my 1972 International Harvester Scout II. After a couple of years, I parked the Scout (after numerous drivability issues) and bought my current ride: a 1995 Jeep Wrangler.

As we did earlier this year, we went out with the folks of Channel Islands 4×4 for a run. This time we ran Nightmare Gulch and left through Moody Canyon down the obstacle known as “the Moon.” Like last time it rained, but not enough to deter us from doing the Moon this time.

A lot of people think 2WDs are useless vehicles off road. And, I get the occasional customer asking to convert a 2WD to 4WD. For almost all applications out there, the answer is the same. It’s cheaper to trade in your 2WD for a 4WD than to convert it. That being said, I think most people have a few disbeliefs of what equipment is necessary to venture out in the dirt.

Back in November, I bought a Cherokee. With a growing family I needed something a little friendlier to transport myself and family around. With four doors, air conditioning, and a hard roof over my head, it’s a far cry from the cut-up, soft top, rough jeep that is my YJ.

It’s been a year, and I just finished unpacking from the 4th Annual Customer Appreciation Day! It seems like every year we double the number of people in attendance. This year was no different with more 1,500 customers enjoying fun in the sun.
