that's what i like to do just go out and explore, hopefully without breaking down in the middle of nowhere. I can self recover in most instances but completely breaking down is the sketchy part. We were out Christmas tree hunting here, someone in a 4runner had just mobbed thru and didn't come back so I figured it was either passable or I would find them stuck ahead of me lol
Man I haven't seen forest like that in a long time, if ever. Not sure we have anything like that in the dirty south. That is a beautiful area. I thought you were gonna grab a long stick and start checking depth at (5:35). Were you running Mud Terrains or just some good AT's like in your truck pic?

Where do you stomp around? We're in Florida and have something similar with no snow, Ocala National Forest.

We definitely have some beautiful areas here in Texas, and some great National Forests, but I don't think we have trees quite like that. East TX gets thicker and greener as you go further East, but that area in the vid just 'looks' like typical Northwest forest when you see it. The height and width of the trees, etc.

Do you have trees and forests like that in FL?

just 33"s on the pickup and 4.5 lift, I wasn't worried about depth I went looking to see what was beyond that section from there it looked kinda nasty just wanted to make sure it was ok to proceed. One time 15-20 years ago i was following a gps on a trip thru Oregon to the Oregon caves and at one point it told me to take a right hand turn but uhhh no I walked about a 1/4 mile down that road which looked like a path to the depths of the abyss lol there were tree's down and big ruts, there was no way I was risking going thru what was supposed to still be another 30 miles or so still. Since then if things look wrong I take a walk first.
that 4runner had obviously gone thru there but he was running probably 37's and I had no clue what was up ahead but it was fine.
there is nowhere to go around here that is flat or desert or anything unless you drive for several hours first.
here it's either jeep trails or a off-road park. so I mostly have to try for forestry roads
once you are out of the valley here this is what is like in every direction, all mountains

easy stuff, sometimes
then went with these jeep guys and got hung up on the 1st rocks, can't really see them in the video the jeep went right over because of there short wheel base, truck not so much
in front of me was about 4 feet of rock, I could have probably pushed thru but wasn't trying to rip the truck up
