Last Saturday I went off-roading with a friend in her Jeep with other fellow Jeep enthusiasts (she's part of a club and this was an outing).

It was fun. The morning (to late afternoon I might add) we were on a more rocky trail. After an hour or "down time" or so, we headed for a second trail which was in pure mud. Oh did those Jeeps ever get dirty..

Anyways, here are some pictures.

My friend going down a particularly steep slope.


Someone going up another slope


Just look at the positioning of those tires..


I believe this move is a "flex" (aka have a tire up or not touching on the ground and keeping the Jeep somewhat leveled)


Stuck in the mud - this was was the first time this Jeep got stuck in the second run..and it wasn't the last :)


My friend and her Jeep somewhere in the second run..

Honestly that is one of the only sports I don't want to try. I think I would be freaking out the entire time. I have sweaty palms just looking at the photos! :eek:

See, when we came to the first slope to climb and that the Jeep in front of us kinda rolled back awkwardly, I was a tad scared to be honest.

But..the climb was actually quite easier than it looked. After that, I had no issues.
And on the second one in the mud, we got caught twice and being pulled by someone else was rather amusing :)

Here's another picture. It's the same sloped featured in the first picture but this picture was taken somewhere between half way and three quarter of the way down the slope..
