Default I am hooked

So I went wheeling today for the first time ever, and thats all I could think about the rest of the day (especially though calculus). In fact, the second I got home I started pricing lift kits. This year I'll be building up my jeep, and next year I'm gonna get a membership at Rausch Creek. So here is the plan for this year:

Three inch lift
Hitch with D ring
30" ATs
A complete recovery kit

Even though the trail I was on wasn't very crazy, (I didn't even need to put it in 4WD) it was so awesome. Here's my jeep after we were done:

It'll be good to pair with your mountain biking. I really miss being able to use my bike. Now you'll be able to wheel in and then do some riding and then drive back out! That'll get you to places you normally wouldnt be able to ride as far into!
