   My idea of 4 wheelin' is to go in 2 wheel drive until you get stuck .
Put it in 4 wheel and get unstuck and go home . We have a 4 wheel drive
and chains because without we could end up stuck down here unable to get
out in an emergency in winter . I haven't needed the chains yet .

Here in New England there's no lack of mud and boulders, but the most challenging off-roading can be driving home from work an inch or two -above- the pavement during an ice storm. Traffic almost never completely disappears and the few times it did a friend and I would slide around on the iced roads on our dirt bikes. The nearly empty roads became playgrounds for drivers with vehicles that could handle them, mainly small foreign cars capable of controlled sliding. Full time all wheel drive is somewhat disappointing because it doesn't allow locking only the rear axle with the handbrake to enter a spin or a J (bootlegger) turn. I could spin and recover my Ranger on ice though I didn't see much stunting with full sized trucks.
