Mustard Dog

My name is Eric "Mustard Dog" Anderson and I've loved everything about the outdoors since I was a kid, especially that outdoor activities are so family-centered. Growing up in Southern California, there were boundless opportunities to go camping in the desert. I grabbed every opportunity I could get and it's made me into a lifelong outdoors enthusiast.

During my early off road explorations, I longed to really hit the tougher terrains, so in 1997 I finally bought an old, full body Toyota Land Cruiser with 36" tires that I started to build out. The first thing I did was cut off the back half so I could lengthen the truck. Then I upgraded to 38" tires and started using propane fuel. This became my main wheeling vehicle until I graduated to my 2 Buggy.

In late 2004, I got my 2 Buggy, which has the following parts installed:

• Hendrix Motorsports X-Chassis
• 39" BFG Krawler tires
• Bilstein coilover shocks
• 6 liter engine from an older Cadillac Escalade
• Toyota base axle
• Atlas transfer case
• ARB air lockers

I've been racing for quite some time now and I've picked up wins in the 2007 Formula Toyota Class and 2007 Ultra 4 Racing National Championship. I also spotted John James in the 2008/09 ProRock and WeRock Championships. I did my first King of the Hammers race in 2008, which was when I was introduced to 4 Wheel Parts, and it's been an amazing partnership ever since.

These days, you can find me with my off road clubs out in Johnson Valley and on the Hammer trails.
