    Do you do any off-roading? If so, in what vehicle? We have a beach here that allows trucks to drive on it. I take my Wrangler out there as often as I can. I haven't been mudding in it yet, but I plan to do that soon as well.

    I love off roading. I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee that I have lifted and put big tires on. I take it off road any chance I get.

    My dad used to have a 98 Cherokee. I learned how to drive in that truck. We would always go on the truck trails in the woods that weren't too tough. We have a 2010 Wrangler now that we want to put a wench and lift on.

    Only off roading I did was with atv's. I want to get a Jeep TJ to build. I'm hoping I can get one next year.

    A lift, tires and a winch are definitely a must for any moderate off roading. I never thought that I would need a winch since I really don't get stuck that much but I have helped many people out on the trails with it. It just makes things easier, I men you could get away without one but why?

    I don't do it with my vehicle but I have a lot of friends with trucks for muddin' and we go every once in a while. It is so much fun, until the truck gets stuck and then we have to freaking pull it out of the mud, lol.

    i've never done it. As far as I know, there's no place near where i live that i can do it. Nor do I own a vehicle that could handle that type of thing.

    I did off-roading shortly after I learned to drive, but the vehicle was far from anyone's expectations, at least not mine.

    It was Jeep Wagoneer from 1970-something!

    They are sort of expensive right now. We paid $12,000 for my sisters 2004 Nissan Xterra 4x4. We've noticed a lot of 4x4 vehicles are very highly priced right now.

    The Jeep Wrangler is the classic off roading vehicle for me.
