Florida Offroading @ Richloam

hey all, on sunday a couple guys from T4R.org and a buddy of mine went out to a wildlife preserve for some mild offroading. keep in mind that this is florida, and we have a very limited amount of places to go wheel at, so its all mud. it was a good time though and no one broke anything and we all got muddy. even got to see a 2wd 4th gen in action!

first stuck of the day

2wd hell yeah!

gatorgreg keeping his line

2wd will only get you so far when the trac kills your momentum

You're cool factor goes up when you get nice rigs like that muddy!!
Wonder, you said "not that many paces to wheel here"...
We need to start something that cronicles places to wheel in each state maybe? maybe you should look into paying dues for a hunt club there just so you can gain access to land ?

my family already has a 1000 acre lease down in south florida that has some fun stuff on it, but not too much. there is plenty of public land, just not that much that would be fun to offroad through

I am headed to Richloam tomorrow and will be out there with a few rovers. I'll let you know how the trails are and how many times I recover the rovers.
