after 18 months and 30k miles...my truck finally popped its off-road cherry

[goblues38]

I am in NW Arkansas this weekend. Went way out in the boonies to my BIL's hunting cabin. 20 miles of mud / rock roads.

On the way back, we went to some water falls and the road was blocked with a down tree, so we back tracked to a power line road and went for it through the trees around the blockage.

My wife can no longer make fun of me for never getting my truck dirty.

Did about 10 miles of "baja mode" on some of the mud roads @ 70mph. Truck was just a beast.

This doesn't look like much, but this is a big step for my OCD.

Uploaded some dash cam footage....

Well done

If you are going to go might as well go all out. My Gen 1 saw that weekly, my Gen 2 hasn't seen ut at all due to the pandemic probably will soon.

Nice! I only waited a week and went playing around on some friends properties. I'm luck enough to have 1 friend with 200 acres and another with 60. So I can go play pretty easy. This truck has a hell of a suspension!

Nice! I was going to say something about it not looking that dirty, but I saw the WT mud flaps... I have a set on order for mine. They make a big difference. Your post really has me sold now.

Just popped 400 miles on my new 2020 and just did a little dance in the dirt. As soon as I get a little more comfortable with the new modes and handling as compared to my Gen1 2014, I'll be slinging dirt in no time. Good Job!!!

I edited the post and added a little dash cam footage. Sorry there is no sound. I had to drop the audio so you tube would not copyright the music from the radio

looks good. If you're interested in doing something similar to that video, but closer to home, you should check out Lost Creek Rd in Warrenton, MO. Been through it a few times, some creek crossings and muddy roads. Is definitely on the easy side but fun nonetheless. Massas Rd near there is also good, though last time I went the road was impassable at one point.

If you've got the bug and want to try something more challenging, Hillbillie in Jerseyville IL is a lot of fun. I've been a few times now, but very easy to come back with the entire truck covered in mud. Tearing around a field at high speed is a ton of fun. Not so much fun having to wash the truck 4-5 times to get all the mud off.
