In the time I've been driving mine. I've developed a really bad habit of seeing just how closed a "closed road" really is. I've gone through a couple shallow creeks (12" or less) where the bridges were out, and plenty of spots where they were just working on the shoulders.
My favorite so far was exploring a trail that led onto sort of a one lane levee, while my wife was with me. She was freaking out at every little jolt, thinking we were going to roll down the levee and bust into flame. When we got to the end, there wasn't anywhere to turn around, so I told her she might want to close her eyes, and ran the truck down the side of the levee, into a creek bottom for about 100 yards, till I had a clear shot back up through the trees, and punched it back up at full throttle. I was pretty proud of the little booger, but my wife wasn't too thrilled- it's been 5 months, and I STILL hear about it!
I have a B2 with a locker in the back an BFG AT's all around. I was out wheeling with several Heeps, and an Cherokee all on 33" tires or better. We were deep into the woods on some nasty trails. We came to a wash out that dropped off real steap between some trees, turned right about 25 degrees down the slope, and just at the turn was a large 20" boulder. Ohh the entire tail was a V so you had to straddle or roll on your side. Well the Cheerokee got into the bottom of the V and litterally stood his station wagon on its front bumper. Both rear wheels were in the air! We winched him out after 30 minutes, put a spotter by the boulder and guided him down to a safe landing. Then I went! the spotter did a great job and I watched his signals intently, as I cleared the boulder I had just a moment to wonder why I didn't drag my tank shield or bumper on it, then wham, my head is driven into the door above my left shoulder. That occured because I was on one wheel coming off the boulder and when gravity brought the Mighty B2 back to earth, we met. The one wheel stand was also why I didn't scrape coming off the boulder. I was only creeping mind you, but the angle was so steep and the drop off completely vertical from the boulder. It was a little more violent than I like, but no damage to either, and we continued on with another coulple hours of the best wheeling I have ever done. Total rush, and some decent body damage.
the best day i had was about 4 years ago when i owned a 86 bII 4x4 5speed bone stock. we were wheelin in the Croatan forest after a weeks rain. i was following a 77F100 with 38.5 tsl and a 84 bronco full size with 36" boggers ... all i had was p235 dunlop radial ats... though i had to run all day full throttle .. i was the last one stuck and the first one to hookem up and pull em out.. when u pull out a full size with a just a v6 and a heavy right foot its a good feeling.
