First time offroading
Hey guys, I got a 1992 F150 4X4 stocker and finally decided to take her off road for the first time today. I started out on the easiest trail (Switzerland Trail up in Boulder, CO) but still had a blast. There was way more snow on the ground then I thought, so I didn't get the truck as dusty/muddy as I had hoped to but was still an AWESOME time. 
I only got like a fourth way down the trail before it got dark, hoping to go back next weekend and finish it up. Below are some pics I snapped.
Note: the rock is actually much larger than it looks in the picture, a good 7-8 inches high in real life. In the 3rd pic, I got a little bit of flex, bulidin up to it
Just a couple pics of the trail and the scenery
At the widest part of the whole trail pretty much, the guy in the black hat is me btw
By the trailhead at the end, getting ready to head home
More off roading next weekend hopefully

Nice looking truck Charles.
Beautiful country up there. I'd love to move back to Breckenridge if it weren't for that stuff they call snow.
I wouldn't worry too much about not finding mud - less for you to clean when you get home.

Thanks guys, I try to take good care of her, as shes's been our family ever since she came from the factory, and you just don't find em like this often, but I do like to have a bitta fun on the weekend 
I plan on finding some bigger rocks next weekend further down the trail and hoping to get a little flex on 
@Carlene- Oddly enough we haven't had much down here this year, it has only snowed 3 or 4 times since fall and most of it melted within the week, but I sure ain't complaining because when it does snow, the salt trucks come out in force around here
@alpha- thanks bud, I'm hoping to be updating this thread with more off roading soon
@captain- I think that a set of skid plates ain't a bad idea before some serious rock crawling but the $ ain't here now and the rocks are, so we'll see

mehhhh.
i have 7 plow trucks and make $100 per hour per truck. if it never ever snows again as long as i live, that will still be 1 storm too many.
i have been pushing that crap for 40 years now. enough is enough i say.

My dad feels the same as you Tom, but I'm a broke mothereffer and huge money for sitting on my *** driving a truck around is schwinn for me. Plus, I've only been doing it for like 5 years.
