Hello, Took my X out for a trail run on a pretty intense trail today, it was also my very first time offroading, I HAD A BLAST, it seems like you just cant stop this truck. I went with a buddy of mine with a 88 K5 with a 400ci v8, with 33's, (just an inch taller than my 32's so he had 1/2" extra axle clearance) but surprisingly, he found himself getting pulled out by me twice. Also this we were both unfamiliar with the trail, not to mention 6 inches of snow... It was a mess but i loved it, but he didn't lol, so needless to say i now am looking for a new person to run this trail with. Its in abingdon maryland, Lookin for maybe another amateur because its just a short trail that's not too rough if it's not icy.

Let me know who's in the area....

Where is abingdon, I'm in Harper's Ferry WV, not far from Frederick
 






so it turns out that the trail was illegal, despite there being no, "no tresspassing signs", and my truck was impounded over it.
 






damn, that sucks, did you get it back?
 






Umm yeah if you wheel illegally then you deserve it.. There is nothing really legal in Maryland except in Western Maryland like Greenridge State Park and in the eastern shore, Assateague Island. Join the local group called Maryland Creepers http://www.marylandcreepers.com
