wOOt! im so proud of myself:) i took roberts advise and i went back to a road i saw going into the woods near that colesack. at first it was solid ground then it went to this stream/swamp, there was water going accross the trail a little so i sped up and got through it fine. then i slowed down cuz i was heading to higher ground. then suddenly i just stoped, i had boged down in quicksand or some ****. so im all freaking out. i put it in 4wheel drive and im still not moveing so im like crap. so then i thought about you guys and your experinces and i got my 2 front rubber floor mats out and put them under the front wheels and went in reverse and i got out like a peice of cakje. so i collect my mats. i decided im not gonna go any further without anoter orv with me. so i turn around, spent about 5 minuets truning around on this 1 lane trail trying not to fall into the swamp on either side of the trail. so then i finaly got turned around. and there were huse ruts in the watter i had just gone though so i guned it and mud and water went all over my car:) and got thought that fine. so i got to the road, turnd off the 4x4 and headed home. the sound of the mud flying off the wheels was music to my ears. im so happy. thanks for the advise robbert:redexp:

You ****s!:D
 






Trail ****! :D

hehe, loved my first time as well, even better was my first time after the lift and BFG KOs. :D
 






Wow that sounds awsome! I've never been off-roading and I don't think I will be able to anytime in the near future. Oh well. Congrats on your first!
 






Congrats on you first off-road experiance. I remember the first time, I was soo nervious. I still get a little nervious to this day, and i am well experianced. I live in a little town in south alabama, and all we do down here is ride dirt roads and put our rides in the river. Down here its ALL about what you drive, that determines how cool you are. I'll have to show some of my river pics sometime. ;)
 






Dude's! I thought I had been Off Road before, I mean I climbed some serious crapola in my BII here in Colorado, even in stock form, then with 31's and manual hubs, then with teh Duff 3" lift, then with the Explorer axles and limited slip, thenthings really got crazy with the 2" more lift and Skyjacker radius arms and sway bars disconnected. . Then I went to Moab with these nutcases from this board. Woah. Totally different world.

So now we shall see what it's like when you are locked....Arb and 33's coming!!! wOOO HOO!!

oh and my first time (as if you cared) was actually in my first car, a 1976 BMW 2002tii, I got high centered on this big hill and broke my exhaust in half. Man they just dont build em like that anymore! Awesome car.....
 






The first time i went wheeling i did this...
stuck
Lucky for me the center section was dry if it wasnt my truck would probably still be in that hole! I went back to that hole about 3 months later and i found out it was about 6 feet deep!

You didnt make it through that mud hole at paragon. :D
Actually down there 35s are considered small. There are guys down there who run tractor tires and im willing to bet this hole was dug by something like that.
 






yeah we got a few of those wood dwellin rednecks up here... do weird stuff like that im thinking about 37's..... just gonna trim like a mean one... but it can be done.
 












gonna need to do some major trimming... like coryl's truck ;)
 






not to much actully.... i put a set of 37" mtr's on and ill have to take about 2" off the front... and just bfh the back....
 






congrads. i just went wheeling for my first time a few weeks ago. it was awesome.
