About Us: McAllen 4×4 Store

Our Journey Begins in 2012

McAllen 4×4 Store was born in 2012 out of a passion for off-road adventures and the desire to provide an unparalleled resource for 4×4 enthusiasts. Founded by a group of avid four-wheelers, our journey started as a humble online platform dedicated to sharing knowledge, reviews, and tips for navigating rough terrains. Over the years, we’ve evolved into a trusted news website that caters to the vibrant community of off-road lovers in McAllen and beyond.

  • 2015: We launched our first print magazine, The Off-Road Explorer, which quickly became a favorite among local 4×4 clubs.
  • 2017: Our website underwent a significant redesign, enhancing user experience and introducing interactive features.
  • 2019: McAllen 4×4 Store became the go-to platform for live event coverage, bringing our readers the latest news from national off-road competitions.
