    Come on out, you can always jump in with someone else if you don't feel comfortable. You can at least ride the main trails, and sit back and watch others do the hard stuff.

    You can ride with someone and come watch. Good spotters will keep you from destroying things.

    Yea main trails and greens you’ll be ok. A stock 2wd can do it on dry conditions. Blues and higher I wouldn’t risk it if you ain’t got skids or sliders

    Learn to watch the rig in front of you and their line and your truck and where to place the tires etc also helps. Spotters can help the newbs but as you progress you should start remembering where and how they put you and know how to approach obstacles. Also learn to read the land and pick a line and shoot.

    I watch a lot of different trail footage, like an athlete, different angles, rigs, approaches, etc. to get an idea of what I'm up against and what to expect and to plot how I'm going to attack the the obstacles. It makes it a lot easier.

    I'll try all those trails!!!! As far as DD goes my truck is my DD and I'm driving like 7:30 hrs or something like that wheeling and heading home. That's typical for my wheeling trips.

    I got 2 spares we may end up changing one of mine. I take the Jeff mentality lock my truck and ride on the hard parts turned wheels bouncing and all. Shit happens.
