OK the gloves are off!

cast your vote and voice your opinion (like I had to tell you to do that)

What do you like best and why. And of course

(the muddier the better if you ask me)

SIDEBAR: [as you will see mentioned below, I forgot SNOW and the mods can't change the poll

So just assume OTHER is snow

ROCKS! Second would have to be snow... but that wasnt an option and then rocks is better..snow is close though

Rocks, though I do love the occasional romp through a big mud hole

I do love snow but here in Southern AZ. we don't see alot of it!!!

I forgot snow!! Don't get much of that down here! OK, assume OTHER to be snow for now till one of the fine moderators can fix it for me.

I also like the occasional ramp wheeling, but thats not an option either.

I think its pretty well known that despite being from Oregon wheres theres lots of the gooey stuff, I hate it! I've played the mud game, broken lots of stuff and its no fun rolling around under your rig with the soup running down the back of your shirt and britches. I'll make the drive to Cal or Nevada to wheel when I can or when its dry around here. As the wise OOP'S once said "thats boony bouncin". Rocks for me.

But I am looking forward to airing my 38's down to around 5lbs and hitting the snow this winter

Pics of what I love

I like the rocks but the mud is some fun stuff too. I refuse to take my toy through the mud but if I had another truck that was a old beater then I'd be a mud wallower. I cant wait to go on a snow run. Lilbuddy has got me all excited about that.

I like wheeling period. I dont give a rats if its on mud, rocks, snow or even at the mall sometimes. As long as I'm getting out there Im happy.

Duffil · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 11, 2005, 09:22:29 PM »

I vote Rocks, but, alas, I have no pics.

I got IFS right now so all I can do well is mud!

Soon the 80 will be trailworthy

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 11, 2005, 09:35:12 PM »

Well I guess my Username would give my vote away, rocks, rocks and more rocks....... I like snow too, limited-slips love snow. The desert can be fun too, but mud sucks.

toybuilt · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 11, 2005, 10:43:59 PM »

Most definetly ROCKS, but some mud isn't bad.

BUBBA · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 04:49:54 AM »

well there ain't alot of rocks around here and what rocks are here are usually muddy.Makes for some fun times.But my heart will always belong in the mud.There ain't nothing like dropping off into a big mud pit,hold it wide open and hope you make the other side.It's even better with the doors off.You know mud makes a good earwax remover

In my opinion, rock crawling is more about skill while mud involves more luck. Due to the traction on rock it is often possible to crawl some amazing things and a driver's error can result in a roll over, while the lack of traction in mud creates the opportunity to almost climb hills (fun on the way up) and then slide our of control back down bouncing off everything along the trail. I like the technical aspect of picking a line where a couple of inches can make a huge difference rather than putting the hammer down and crossing my fingers. Don't get me wrong, I know that it takes skill to drive in the mud, but once the skill and luck end, so does the control.

Snow can be fun, similar to mud without the mess.

Just my

I like both but I would realy like to see some more rock around here.

*FFC* · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 10:44:56 AM »

I'd have to say both

I have a blast either way. Honestly I've had more experience in the mud than on the rocks, and both are awsome. HOWEVER, rocks are cleaner and don't mess up my motor as much, but I'm less apt to break in mud. So I'd say 50/50 fer me

Then again, the occasional ramp wheelin'll do fer some poser shots

BLACKDOG · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 03:17:47 PM »

I like mud, but my truck doesnt so we try to stay out of it, but sometimes I dont listen

I'm still picking mud outta my seats and off my dash from wheelin in the mud this summer, early this summer

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 03:29:38 PM »

I voted muddy rocks just cause I think it would be a challenge.

But I do love the mud

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 03:32:58 PM »

And Mrs W too

whiteman · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 05:49:45 PM »

Here in Washington we gotta a lot of mud, and thats what I like.
Full throttle muddy hills and swamps.

RokCrawlinToy · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 12, 2005, 05:58:51 PM »

ROCKS!!! I'm also planning on building a Toy for Desert

racing, so that would be 2nd for me.

yea I'm gonna go with the rocks the mud seems to just get every where and ruin things. But you can get body damage from rocks I guess i just hate working on my truck and getting covered in dirt

Did the mud once

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 14, 2005, 08:23:48 PM »

You forgot another option to vote on! All of the above!
Where I live I have the option of Rocks (tillamook state forest, buddy's family rock pit), mud all around me, sand (sandlake and all other beach access), and snow when it snows! There's nothing like a good muddy rutted road!

Matty · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 15, 2005, 02:43:56 PM »

I like it all too! Mud, Water, Rocks (or what we have of them)

4.3s10 · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 15, 2005, 07:53:24 PM »
