Back in the 70s I had a 4WD Jeep CJ5 and did everything to hop it up for off-roading. On my many adventures I got stuck in mud way out in the middle of nowhere, tore off a clutch linkage while bouncing over a log, and even spun out going uphill on pine needles. I managed to roll it down a cliff in Colorado. When I started mountain biking in 2006, I found the same excitement and freedoms as when I had my Jeep — and even more since an MTB can go more places than 4 wheeling. Now every time I get the urge to go and buy another Jeep, I just go for a rugged ride on my MTB and the desire dissolves rather quickly.
