WTF is off-roading? Is that, like, going to the mall and running over a flower-bed?

Why off-road when I have a monster truck that crushes other cars on the highway!

I went with the second option. I hit some fairly easy muddy or somewhat rocky trails from time to time. I don't have a lot of money so it's not heavily modded and I don't have the skills to fix much myself. I'm slowly modding it and I'm hoping that by the time it's paid off it'll have everything it needs for harder use and I'll have a lot more knowledge from modding and tinkering.

Glad to see you didn't end up selling that thing. It's a sick ride, one of my favorites on here!

DD and heavy mods. hate mud and hate "trails". 4-6 wheeling "trips" per year, but they are all hardcore rock climbing, bash fests. Drive, wheel, bash, repair, repeat...

One last refresh! Poll on!

Looks like majority of us are daily driving our JK's and having fun on the side. Awesome

I'm just wondering who the seven flower-bed destroyers are??

I go play at least 3-4 times a week, zero mud, sand and small trails mostly, still pretty stock so I don't like to get in a dangerous spot.

I usually have to do a "little" offroading 2-3 times a week to get into some of my field locations, nothing hardcore, but often requires some four wheel drive. Other than that not too much except for vacations or field trips a few ties a year. Between our 3 month old son, my Ph.D. Work, consulting, and the honey-do's I keep pretty busy (yet I find tie to read this stuff, hmmm?) Fortunately my work/study gets me outdoors plenty in ne Oklahoma, nw Arkansas, and sw Missouri.

So if anyone in those areas sees some moron parked at the side of the road in a jeep with OK plates that looks like mine, climbing around on road cuts, and staring intently at rocks and hitting them with a hammer, well, that is probably me.
