Do you "wheel" your daily driver?

Where is this place?

 

I paid too much money for mine to be beating it up out in the wild...

 

Not much actual "off roading" to be done here, at least legally. Some of the older forest roads could almost qualify as trails and the way things are going probably will be in a few years since USFS doesn't maintain them. Nice thing about this side of Mount Hood is they don't put up gates and there isn't massive garbage dumps like you see in Clackamas County.

 

My buddies and I hit the trails around here (central Oklahoma) about once a month or so. The closest LEGAL place is Sundog in Purcell, OK. The Arbuckles are fun too! I need to get some rock sliders, bumpers, skids and a lift before I do anything too crazy though. Every once in a while we bring along a friend with a bro truck (like the Chevy in the picture below) and they want to go mudding, without thinking about the fact that their heavy truck isn't very easy to tow out with a Taco or a T4R, but it's all a part of the fun.

 

Its threads like this that is the reason I buy new.

 

Nope

 

That's just the normal way to the mall

 

You can wheel it, just don't put yourself in a situation that you will regret.

 

Nice looking rig... My DD will be getting SAS in a month

 

Calico is a killer place to wheel

 

Love to Wheel My DD

 

Dust in my blood...Moab 2016

The Mojave Road with friends, 2015




Then back to the daily grind.

 

Whenever I can get out.

 

I feel the same.. Hey Rob where is the last 3 pictures taken? Looks familiar

 

2013 with 76k miles because work and play.

 

Red Rock Canyon, by Mojave. It was a fun trip but trail was rough with some pretty big rocks.

 

No pics, but I wheel mine about every two weeks. Hunt camp roads are pretty rough, sugar sand in some areas and deep water/mud pits when it rains in others. I pull a utility trailer with a 4-wheeler through most of it and usually have no problems getting through but takes 4-Lo at times (with yellow wire mod).

 

Looks like I know where my next trip is...Thanks for sharing

 

In spite of what some think, you don't have to destroy a truck to have fun and go places. After 43 years of owning 4wds, 17 different trucks, and spending a LOT of time in mud, dust, hills, creeks, and the occasional Mall parking lot, I don't like crawling around on the garage floor working on busted parts. So I use a little good judgement, go slow, and pick the safest line through the trails.....But I'm NOT staying on the pavement. No flippin' way! This is too much fun.

 

I drove off a curb once...my mudflaps scraped so I lifted it
