Title: Post up WHAT KIND OF 4 WHEELING DO YOU PREFER
Post by: cru9 on February 20, 2013, 06:20:49 PM: Post up what kind of 4 wheeling conditions you feel comfortable in

Mud, Rocks, Forest Service Roads, Dirt Trails that might have v-Ditch's or off camber areas, etc.

Let's answer this question as in the way your rig sits now or will sit in the next 6 months

Post by: jgerhard on February 20, 2013, 06:25:37 PM: I prefer forest roads with mountain views and dirt trails with hillclimbs, ditches, river crossings etc as for how my jeep stands now.

Post by: DOUG on February 20, 2013, 06:46:55 PM: Trails of incline with large rocks that require picking the right lines as much as having flex and clearance.

Post by: Oscar_Mike 2013 on February 20, 2013, 06:56:48 PM: I'm so new that I don't have a preference yet. But I would like 'em where I can drive home and go to work the following Monday without having to spend a fortune in parts and repairs.

Post by: Lhub36 on February 20, 2013, 07:10:08 PM: I prefer a mix, kinda like a slow version of King of the Hammers.

Post by: Mortalis5509 on February 20, 2013, 07:40:23 PM: I try to stay out of the mud, but for the Rubicon I like rocks to whatever is fun. Now for the 1 ton with stickies, hammer down. I just dont prefer to flop, as I really like the paint color. 8==D

Post by: hb_hound on February 20, 2013, 08:06:07 PM: The way it sits now..............driveway crawling >:(
In the next month or so............rocks that test your driving skill without the off camber stuff.
Title: Re: Post up WHAT KIND OF 4 WHEELING DO YOU PREFER
Post by: tcdawg on February 20, 2013, 08:46:09 PM: I like rock crawling, rocky trails, slab rock, V ditches, off camber...I prefer slower crawling than heavy throttle stuff...but there is always a time and place for the skinny pedal(I miss Rev Limiter). I like the fun of picking lines and taking a trail that is demanding.

Love playing in rock gardens.

Post by: Trail Duty on February 20, 2013, 08:50:30 PM: Rocks, all types, (I like them, but would also like some more experience on them), inclines, forest service roads, and a little mud ;D I'm with tcdawg on the slower crawling.

iws

Love rock crawling!
Love creek bed x-ing's
Love rock gardens

Anything technical with articulation! Not as big of a fan as Ben on the vertical stuff - The perfect trail to me was Creek Bed @ Mountainside! Very technical!!

Videos do no justice in either video

Great news!

Post by: jc79 on February 21, 2013, 06:30:39 PM: Where was that Upper Ledge climb?

I like creek beds a lot... Gulches has a great one. I like ledges where you have to get the front tires on and then pull the backend up. Those are still the ones that I'm amazed our Jeeps can do.

I also really enjoy night rides... They take a fun trail and amp it up a couple notches.

Rocks, heck yeah.

Dirt trails and V-Ditches, sure.

Off Camber, fun to a point.

Service Roads, occasionally sure, can be fun.

Mud - NO THANKS, been there done that got the t-shirt about 30 years ago.

What else? One of the things I miss about Michigan......Sand Dunes.

Post by: Raisinhead on February 21, 2013, 09:45:44 PM: I love rocks and hill climbs. Still learning lines, but really like looking at an obstacle that looks too hard, then looking back after I've conquered it

edit: also really like night rides. Best was as a passenger with tony at Gulches

DRY trails and rocks with no dust

Title: Re: Post up WHAT KIND OF 4 WHEELING DO YOU PREFER
Post by: LT on February 25, 2013, 09:01:09 AM: About all I'm doing right now is the 1/2 mile drive on what's left of an old dirt road to the back of the hunt'n land to cut firewood. I can get by with 2wd when it's dry, but now that the ground is saturated with water, 4wd is a necessity. I didn't go this past weekend because I didn't wanna make the ruts any deeper in the one spot on the trail....
