One day...maybe

Last month I was visiting Kissimmee, Florida on vacation and found this beast parked at a gas station. All that I can say is, "Good Lord."

Yep!! Next time bring your ride and I am sure they or myself will show you some good trails!! You should visit Jeff clay and sons tire in kissimmee next time they have plenty of toys there! There is nothing like off roading in the ridge area of Florida in Florida, 180' sugar sand hills with gumbo clay slop 3' deep in the low spots and nothing more then spindly turkey and live oak or citrus trees to winch off!! Not to mention 100% humidity in 98 degree heat (can you say free flowing cooling system and I mean on the motor) No AC that sucks power boy!! And of course Panther, bobcat, coyote, rattle snake, cotton mouth, coral snake and angry wild boar!!! Now that is fun!!!!!!

Sounds fun, but there is little chance that I'm going to drive any vehicle out there from out here in California. Heck, I've never even driven to Oregon.

Rent a awd something and we'll claim it got stolen after some fun!!HEHEH Just kidding!!
Maybe I should get some beaters put them on 38's and rent them out so people can see the real Florida! Did you happen to go for a airboat or swamp buggy ride while you were down here? Next time you should do that off lake Toho when your down again!
Opps I just realized I left something out It's supposed to say spindly turkey and scrub oak or citrus to winch off with a live oak too far away!! And no I didn't forget Gators they are ***** cats I am worried more of them cottonmouths and amoebas in the freshwater lakes!!

i have two fsb, both the same, one is a toy, and one is a backup. My backup hauls cars for a living, out of ditches and fields of cows and off of cliffs. so no, offroading is in my vocab... just not the way you guys do it .. LOL... I mounted a reese hitch to my front and use a pm winch with a ****** to pull 13-15k out of holes and up steep hills . I have a 16' trailer loaded with car/s and junk metal. and the bronco itself. so I am no stranger to the wish for a full pull on my winch line.. I have dug to winch to the roots of a shrub/bush/tree and pulled myself out with that, many times before. My 4wd is LOW and SLOW. nothing fast and brash..
