I've never been stuck.

I guess I'm a boring old-school offroader... my intention is to go from "point A" to "point B" in one piece. I never intentionally drive through deep water or mud if there is another path.

I hate mud and try to avoid it at all cost. Tends to wear out axle seals and hub bearings faster. Plus then all the cleaning so your junk don't rust! I like rocks he he

We can go wheelin together then...I hate mud, too. I'll get dirty, but just have no interest in submerging in the slop, but it's fun watching others do it if that's their thing

X3 on the mud. I just don't want to have to clean it. I don't like the slop, the light mud (is there even such a thing) is ok, but the "loon sh**" is terrible.
