sport or hobby?
Which do you consider four wheeling?

Since I don't compete at any level it's a hobby for me. I don't keep any score, there are no winners or losers in the groups I wheel with, and there is no specified playing field or time limit. That's me personally.
Overall I think it's a sport for the exact opposite of the reasons I mentioned above. Besides, the sport of rock racing has made better parts for my hobby rig. |

I find myself calling it both at times. But to me, I lean more towards calling it a hobby.

The wife says obsession...I have to believe that it is just a fun ride around town and a great ride into (and out of!) the backcountry!
Fun! Yeah, that kinda says it.... |

To me, a sport involves some sort of physical exertion with a high chance of presperation involved. While I suppose, offroading could qualify if you are winching a lot or stacking rocks, for the most part you are tooling along in your jeep.
If you figure in the modification aspect of wheeling on top of that, I'd have to say it's more of a hobby or a past-time. |

I'll add another catagory, Business.
I write-off all Jeep, towing, trip, tools, shop, insurance, fuel (yada, yada), expenses, you get the point. So, my sport, hobby, obsession is also business related! Best of both worlds . |

Maybe you just aren't coordinated enough. Oh as for the topic itself, I think it's a combination and that any stupid wheeler can ruin for the rest of us (thinking back to a thread on JU where a teen was holding a can of beer while croutching on the side of his rolled vehicle). |

For me, wheelin is a hobby, owning a jeep is a lifestyle... So, since I consider a vehicle ownership a lifestyle, I have to be in the minority, which would make it so that I was living an "alternate" life style... And my jeep is my life partner????

I finally figured it out. If you drive a manual tranny this is a sport. It meets speaceman's criteria of physical exertion, sweating, etc. If you drive an automatic, this is a hobby.
See, that was simple. There can be no argument. I know I'm right, and in time you will too. |

Both
When I'm driving my Jeep it's a hobby, when I'm driving Blaine's Jeep and get his rear diff stuck on a big rock at the waterfall on Sledge Hammer with the front tires hooked on the top ledge and then say: "I don't want to drive anymore", then it's a sport watching Blaine get his Jeep unstuck!
