#2 is the worst one.

It's called "Tread Lightly!" Meaning you stay one the existing trail.

That's how trails get closed, when people start making thier own trails and wrecking the enviroment.

I think it starts off small. You get your first 4wd, and start exploring fire roads. Eventually you want to do something a bit more challenging, and then get hooked up with people who really wheel, and then it just snowballs from there. Before you know it, your truck is all scratched up and your credit cards are maxxed out.

That's what happened to me. With the exception of the maxed out cards.

Before I had my Jeep, I had an old Chevy pickup on 35's. My idea of wheelign was blasting through mud.

Once I got the Jeep, I knew it was too small for stuff like that. I ended up hooking up with some other Jeepers over the internet, and that's how I got introduced to trail running and rock crawling.

Now, I don't consider myself wheelin' until I have to use low range.
