The Official Offroading Thread

The only real offroad place near me is about a 2.5 hr drive away in Tuttle Creek, Kansas. We have a pretty good time but keep in mind that we have to drive it all the way back, lol. This is also my DD.

Arrived at the Trail at Tuttle Creek:

Grinding through "the Ledges"

Back at home & all clean...

My buddy had a 97 Jeep TSI he loved, but the dang thing was beat to hell and back. Door hinges broke twice, suspension brackets broke a couple times, and the PO welded the diff up. Also needed a new radiator, the front diff shelled out.. just a mess. He would definitely approve of yours. Nice ride.

i need actualy mud tires before i take my powerstroke in the woods, crappy street tires are crappy lol

2 of my friends just got tacomas today which was pretty random.
The first is a 2007. I only have pictures from the dealer right now...

The other is a 2011. And we just had to take the truck off road so it could see some dirt, trails, and mud.

then we didnt see this gap on the right side while driving through a trail
we almost got stuck, but we still had the back left tire on the ground and made it out safe lol

heres a better picture of where our back right tire was hanging:

Old pic of my Superduty before I had to get rid of it. This was just on our land behind the house. I never got to really take it offroad.

Here's some random pics from a Xterra offroad meet/event I went to a little over a year ago

And my truck posing at the bottom of the hill, I literally bought it the day before and drove 6 hours to meet up with them here only to realize I had a hub that wouldn't lock in so no 4x4 at the time.

My glorified lifted car/suv. My old exploder was way better off road, climbed a 6 foot tall snow bank with it in front of my friends house and parked it there, really should have taken a pic lol. The escape has gone in a few fields and threw some pretty deep snow, but I always pop that stupid plastic skid plate off on the front, might bolt it on but that would look tacky...

and for the kicks, my old exploder the day my brother blew the clutch on it :/

Lol Ferocious. Buy truck....see what truck can do ;p


Rice, those no-boundaries escapes are pretty rare, and they can hold their own for being what they are haha. My buddy had one.

Not going to lie, I bought it for that reason and the colour lol. I was actually surprised at how well it handles some things considering it's a uni-body car chassis, it still holds it's own. Sure it isn't a truck, but it is good enough for me as a winter beater!

Hahaha hell yeah! All these car companies claim they put their truck motors through vigorous tests to prove their durability.
We're just here to confirm that

What's a good/cheapish mud/dirt/street tire?

 

[Tally_4.6]

I got general grabber at2's on my blazer, cheapo bfg All-Terrain.

So another one of my friends has a tacoma as well so i though i'd include the pictures i took of him this weekend.
Unfortunately, his truck has been through alot and while he was attempting to drift, his driveshaft broke.
Luckily, i got it all on camera!

And heres a picture of the broken driveshaft a second after it broke off:

So then we had to tow the poor tacoma back home so we could have it sent out on a flatbed for repair.

Looks like Mustang owners love their trucks too! Here is my alter-ego when I step out of the dropped Cobra to get slightly higher on the ride....no mud pics though, never brought a camera...shame....

Not trying to hate, but to me an H2 is just a bigger, uglier suburban lol. I never really got why people liked them other than the legacy of the name Hummer.

No hating sensed, but they are far different vehicles. Try a 45 degree entry with anything else or a 40 degree exit. Drive one once, you'll get it then

Also, I thought the same thing, until I drove one and took it home.

I'm so jealous of your rockstars. Those are by far the most badass truck/SUV wheels ever made.

Thanks! The factory wheels just didn't do it justice. I managed 37's on those with factory ride....try that on a suburban

 

[Rice_slayer]

As autox said, no Offense, but When I worked on my first H2 at the shop, I was VERY let down, it's basically a huge boxy soccer mom SUV on a silverado chassis with a "cage-like" skid plate by the oil pan. Give me an OLD H1 anyday. When GM took over Hummer, they went into the sh*tter! And yes, I see the irony in my statement as I drive an Escape in the winter lol. It's a wanna-be offroader and I poke fun of that all the time .

 

[Highton]

It's the only hummer I've ever paid for!

Can anyone appreciate that?
