What is your favorite kind of wheeling. Do you like going Muddin', Rock Crawling, Trailing, Crossing Lakes. I prefer trails and mud. I like trails more because there is less chance of breaking my Jeep which is my DD but sure do love me some mud.

I'm into rocks. But that's probably because I just got some new sliders. I do like trail riding too, but mud....not so much.

that's the best thing about where i live. i wheel about 3.5 hours north of my house where it is in the thick forest which consists mostly of the canadian shield. so lots of protruding rock, some mud (depending on what trail), and usually some pretty deep water holes.
we don't have any off-road (ORV) parks, it's all crown land on many kilometers of snowmobile trails and thousands of lakes.

but i don't care for mud, it's the slow death.
i like rocks, cause the damage is instant.

but mostly, i just like trail riding cause we have all terrain in one trail. tight trees, off camber, steep climbs, some rocky, and most bypasses will bury a lifted rig.

I prefer rocks and any type of technical wheeling - except mud.

OP, if you like mud but don't like to break things, then you're in a contradiction. At least with rocks you have more control over what you get yourself into if you're paying attention. Mud sneaks up on you - a "puddle" turns into quicksand; some innocent looking mud hole turns into the mud pit from hell; and the soupy stuff sucks you right in no matter what you do. Add to that the mud is shapeshifting, so it gets into places a rock can never harm ... brakes, seals, tiny holes . And then that's when stuff breaks. Been there, done that - HATED IT!!
