President - Mike Pratt

Name: Mike Pratt

Officer position: President

When did you start 4-wheeling: I started 4-wheeling in 1987 using a 78 CJ-5 to get into the back woods of North Carolina to do a little hunting and fishing.

What year did you join K&I: 2013

What brought you to K&I: I was looking for wheeling opportunities. At that point I was lucky to get out once a quarter.

What kind of rig(s) do you have: I daily an 07 JK Rubicon but the main rig is a 1966 CJ-6, or what’s left of it. Evil-Bay description was not accurate, so it got “Modified”. Then there is the Ugly square eyed redhead…94 vintage (YJ) that has been robbed of its axles. Plan is to put tons under it so I can hang out with the cool kids. I also have a late 70’s CJ-5 that’s down to paint. Another Evil-Bay description inaccuracy that my wife Linda bought. Finally, there is also a 1951 CJ-3A project sitting in the barn that just needs “put together”. Another Evil-Bay purchase that surprisingly was better than expected.

What do you love about off roading?: Building rigs, pushing my abilities and comfort level. Meeting great people and traveling to great locations to wheel.

What are your goals/hopes for the coming year?: As others have said, continue the successful path that the club is on with regards to member growth, association involvement and charity work. Additionally, I would like to see growth and focus on the wheeling aspect of the club.

Favorite wheeling destination?: East of the Mississippi - Tackett Creek/Windrock area. West of the river… New Mexico.
