Isn't that the way it always is, you never want what you can drive right outside your door to get.

My all time favorite is driving unimproved trails in my neck of the woods.  As the state forest maps call them Fire Breaks #_.   My favorite is FB#3.  And I love to cruise around Sandlake and watch the other idiots beat the shiat out of there rigs!  But once in a while a good blast through a good mud hole, just to prove that you really need more horsepower.

Technical is great, but weaving between trees due to a wide turning radius gets old fast.

I know how you feel, lincoln locked front and rear turning aired down 37's going downhill on rock slabs.  I can't turn one bit so i just go straight down.

I think we all do at some point or another :yupyup:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
