Default favorite type of wheelin?

i'm curious to see what kind of wheeling you guys like to do. so what's your favorite. rock crawling, mud, trails. etc.
personally i like trails with a good amount of rocks. i do like to have a little mud throughout, but i'm not a real big fan of mud, i love rock gardens, creekbeds etc

I prefer narrow trails with hillclimbs, creeks, off camber areas... some mud is ok but around here it seems that's all you find

I used to really like rock crawling. But I think it's getting boring I hate waiting for slow wheelers
for now I like anything that's way off camber. But I think I wanna get into go-fast

I LOVE hill climbs, especially rocky/slick ones, I'm starting to prefer off camber rocks and things of that nature, but I'm still a mudslut, because I'm from the middle of nowhere and that's what we do

I like trails that have a little bit of everything. Hills, rocks, water crossings, and maybe just a little mud. I really like the rocks. Unfortunately there is a lot of mud around here, and not many rocks, so I do what I can. I need to make a trip to Moab

Snow wheeling is amazing. I don't think it will ever happen in my XJ but when I had my subaru I drove through an unplowed road that pushed snow over the hood. The subie just kept going like a good little rally car should. Snow wheeling is great but in NC we only get to do it once every couple of years.

Next to snow wheeling trails are my favorite type. I love the feeling of not knowing what type of obstacle is coming up next. Trails have it all downed trees, rocks, mud, water crossings, hill climbs...

I like all kindas of sand snow mud and rocks. but to me its about finding the trails that push me and the jeep to the limit. to many people build rigs and only us about 1/3 of its potential while wheelin. I also like to be with people that I can teach and people that i can learn from. theres nothing like seeing someone whos has been wheelin for along time step out and spot for the new guy and show them what testing a path is like.
