I took my TJ to Camp Jeep '05 in the Poconos and had a great time and a fantastic trail ride. When my JK comes in I'll make sure I get it dirty, dusty and/or muddy.

I posted this on another one poll thread I started, where people were all confused over what's considered "offroad." While I don't claim that this definition is flawless, I do think it covers the bases pretty well... enjoy.
Wow. 
You guys/gals really love the details, don't you? Not willing to commit a simple GUESS without a definition of "offroad"? Jeez! 
Here's my definition of "offroad" - and don't bother telling me what's wrong with it - I honestly don't care (it's mine!).
You should also note that "offroad" is not the same as "off-road," which is already clearly defined in its own right...
"Offroad" v. To drive one's vehicle over/through terrain that meets all of the following criteria:
1. Terrain is unpassable by means of an unspecialized (i.e. NOT a Jeep, XTerra, FJ Cruiser, Bronco, Hummer, Land Rover), class-standard, unmodified mid-sized automobile (i.e. Camry, Accord, Escape, Santa Fe, Outback, etc.).
2. Terrain is not considered a part of any municipality's road system.
3. Terrain is not maintained by local, municipal taxpayers' dollars (this excludes National Parks, some of hich may still be considered acceptable terrain).
4. Terrain must present one or more considerable obstacles such as boulders, trees, extremely narrow passages, crevices, ruts, free falls, mud pits, protruding rocks, unkept trailways, sizeable inclines, deep (>14") water, considerable sand, etc.
By this definition, any beach, dirt road, light trail, desert, field, etc., that can be driven on by one of the aforementioned unspecialized, class-standard, unmodified mid-sized automobiles is NOT considered terrain that meets "offroad" standards.
Anal enough for you? If I were any more anal about this, I'd be required to verify that you're over 18!

Ok, I'll be honest and say 'not yet'. My Jeep is used as a daily driver and to navigate my poorly maintained streets in the winter where it's snow, ice and not a snowplow to be seen sometimes for days. Oh and lovely mud if it rains. 
*however* - after I've had it a bit I might be willing to try it. =)

already done some super minor wheelin.. but been super busy. work gets slower for me as the year draws to a close. which is perfect cuz the places I like to go are just way too hot. Its starting to become the season for me!!! Cant wait.
This is my first jeep.. but I am not new to offroading.. but this will be so so much better than squeezing my Full size truck onto Jeep trails. Cant wait to see what a real offroad maching can do!
