Specialized 4Wheel Drive, also known as Specialized Jeep (and Specialized Geep... long story) has served the greater Sacramento area for almost 25 years, having been founded by Russ and Dana Webber in 1986.   In the Fall of ‘05 ownership of the company changed hands.

I’m Joe Sand, and I purchased Specialized 4Wheel Drive Inc. from Russ in 2005.  Shortly thereafter Greg Lewis, an ASE certified master mechanic and former employee of 12 years, returned to the team.   Jack Pugh, our shop manager, has been with Specialized 4WD since 1988, and anyone who’s met him knows that he knows pretty much everything about older jeeps and trucks, not to mention hot-rods and Harleys!  

I come from an Engineering background... Electrical, test, and manufacturing engineering.  I have been a “jeeper” since around 1985, and a dirt biker since the mid ‘70’s.  My offroading experience ranges from desert exploration and conquering Rocky Mountain passes, to full on rock crawling.  I have also been active with several clubs, have organized, developed and managed  “safety clinics”, basically Offroading 101, for several years, and I am a Trustee  on the California Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs (Cal4) Conservation and Education Foundation.

So, what’s new?  First, our attitude.  We intend to create a true full service facility for all four wheel drive vehicles and trucks.  We want you to rely on us to keep your Truck or SUV healthy and reliable.  If you are an offroader, or want to be,  we’ll show you how to do it RIGHT.  As an engineer I’m kind of anal about this, and I spend a lot of time deciding which products I’m willing to stand behind and which are garbage.

That’s the “short story!”
