One tip, if I may ?, would be to NOT always start in 2wd. I have seen plenty of people do that, get into a hairy situation, stop, click in 4wd, then are stuck. Where as momentum alone would of probably had them out if they had started in 4. Just a friendly tip from a fellow wheeler. I can't say i don't do that, its sweet taking it through something in 2wd when your buddy NEEDED 4x4.
I'm relatively new at wheelin so suggestions are nice. I always thought that if I do it in 2 hi (it's fun to see how far I can get with just 2wd anyhow), then if I do get stuck I've got the 4wd to help me out. If I do it in 4wd and get stuck, I've got no where to go now. When it starts to get a little deep or rough, I've used 4 hi on the fly and kept my momentum to get out. THe only thing is that it makes a really loud noise when the front wheels get locked in on 4 hi. But it works.
03fx4F150 I've been to lakeland quite a bit, but don't know of anything else right there. Lakeland motor sports is opening up their new park in Polk City (may be what you are thinking of) and it's about 600 acres of trails, mud, and campground. I'm going to try to make it out there on June 28th with my off-roading group. Looks good from the flyers they sent out and what little info they gave me.
