I go wheeling in a number of places:

1. Barnwell Mountain, Gilmer, Texas Loose rock, hillclimbs, yellow clay, slick as snot when it rains and kinda comes off

2. Wheeling Ranch, Nocona, Texas Lots of granite rocks purging from the ground, very sharp, red clay and sand, Red clay is also slick as snot when it rains, and does NOT like to come off your tires

3. Marshal Creek, Trophy Club Texas, flat muddy land mostly, not much fun.

4. Katemcy Rocks, Mason, Texas. Texas' version of Moab, instead of sandstone, pink granite boulders, VERY good traction, better than Moab I've heard.

5. My own backyard, and dad's cattle pastures. Whenever, wherever...

Also forgot to mention, I'm running 35" BFG Mud Terrains.  Not the size you guys are after, but it suits me fine for daily driving.  Sorry about the crappy resolution and off center images, it was a free camera! :)

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
