Glad that both Jeep and driver made it out on that one! Could have turned really ugly without a little bit of trail experience around.

If that was me, and I was by myself, I'm not sure how I'd recover from that. I do know having the doors off would have been an advantage. Easier to dismount/mount and lighter... Even by just that much.

LOL!! I've only wheeled in Colorado, but I can't imagine wheeling anywhere else. I know each state has it own bits to offer, but in Colorado, we have all kinds of different terrain. I would love to visit the southern states for the mud and the appalachian areas for their gnarly back woods trails.
