That's for sure. Anyone with half a brain would have realized that the trails there we made by HUMMERs for HUMMERs to use and, more importantly, they had a schedule to keep and a lot of people to move through. So they weren't going to make it too difficult. I was a complete wheeling noob, and while I had some anxious moments the first times I banged down on the frame and UCP, by the end of the day (starting with the infield and doing the 1, 2, and 3 trails), I was really comfortable doing it and just wanted more.
Anyone who did it and now thinks they are a wheeling genius is delusional.

I was still pretty impressed with my stock BFGs. I saw a lot of people in H1s 2's and 3's having trouble by simply not being agressive enough on the slippery stuff to keep the tires cleaned out. I got stuck once, but it was stupid pilot error. I got hung up on a log on a tight turn while too much attention to the trucks ahead of me and too little to my surroundings.

Ditto. Apparently we were the only ones with full wiper fluid b/c no one else I talked to noticed that.
