Well Cliff, I voted... ... . although I sorta stretched it a bit. As you didn't really define "occasional trips on logging roads", I counted the half dozen or so times I have been on logging roads in my Ram as a vote... (I live where there are miles and miles of logging roads nearby). As I stated in the other thread (4x4 or 4x2?), I have other means of off-road travel (read: excitement!) than my Ram.



..... that's one good thing about my LWB Ram, I can haul my Polaris 6x6 in it... you'll be pullin' it on a trailer if you have a SWB.



My Ram..... purchased for haulin' (my a$$), and setup for almost anything I encounter (i. e. , hauling/pulling etc. ). It doesn't do anything extremely well, just most things very well. If I had wanted a *****in' haulin'/pullin' machine I woulda ordered a 3500 4x4 and set it up like Rob Hanson's Ram (minus the fuzzy dice and dingle balls ) or setup as a horsepower thoroughbred like Dave Perea's show stopper Ram... it doesn't wear the personalized plate 1HOTRAM for nuthin'!

oh well

Well if there were more trails to play on in this state I would be all over it. I had more fun when I lived in New Hampshire and Colorado.



I'll be heading out to Colorado in september to practice wheelin with it.

John... I don't know that you stretched it all that much... I have seen better logging roads than the road into your house at times! That baby gets rough and puddly. Saying you were a mud demon might have been stretching it.

hey John we need to go riding... . Break out that 6x6 and I will bring the Scrambler

Doesnt allow for others...

When on the balloon chase crew I drive whereever necessary and there aint too many logging roads in the open fields. So any path/trail will do to get at the balloon - used the logging roads choice but thats not QUITE right!!!!!



SOTSU!!

I am in the 'don't know how to vote column also. ' I work in pipeline construction worldwide. I obviously can't take the Ram with me to Africa, SE Asia or Russia but it goes where I go in the good old USA. My 2500 QC, lwb, 4X4 has to do it all. pull the 36', 15,000# Holiday Rambler, go to the office, grocery store, Sunday go to meeting, run some of the roughest rights of way over some of the worst mountains in the country and still look pretty.

I would never think about go four wheeling with my Dodge as I think its a little expensive and to big for the trails I usually run . Besides I have my Jeep to go four wheeling with and it does alot better than my Dodge anyway, although my Dodge tows my Jeep everywhere.

 

[drawson]

Mine will do both but it damn hard to turn this thing on logging raods

 

[BillGotthelf]

My trucks see mostly roads-but some of our "roads" can swallow a car hole. I have even pulled semis out of these "roads" (with my 4x4 dualie). The dualie also pulls a flatbed trailer with a grading tractor on it through miles of sugar sand and the next day pulls camper and family to Mickeys house.

 

[Gizmo 007]

Come on drawson,



just get it in the middle of the road, and hammer on it. It'll spin. I do it all the time . Although it's murder on the clutch.

Mud is not much of a problem in SoCal. Desert sand, and mountain snow is. My truck is not much of a off roader but is used off highway alot. The 4x4 insures that I make it to the highway.

 

[Great White]

I've yet to take the big plunge with the new truck. We live near the beach and sand is the question on stock tires?

I really HATE digging out!

I once spent $14 dollars in quarters (1981) washing the mud off my bosses 4x4 after he had to "save" me in eastern oregon. But that's another story!

OK,,I feel the clobbering of a lifetime coming on here on this one,BUT,HERE GOES!!!!!(I am now donning my war bonnet as the incoming flack will be tremendous!!),,MUD,TRAILS,DIRT,GRIME,FILTH,=YUK!!!!!,,Now the only way my ride is going to see any dirt is in the trailer BEHIND IT and nothing gets hauled in the bed unless its in a box,,I mean,come on now,this truck of mine was not meant to be off in the mud,SHEESH,,It does like bashing Furd's and Chuvy's on the asphalt and loves to see their frustrated faces in the mirror as their tires are blazing smoke and they are going backwards at a high rate of Cummins fuel delivery,,Think of it,,This is my second love,so I guess the fact that I Armor All the inner wheel wells and shine the rears and frame makes me a little off???????,,I will admit though my wife and a few of my friends think when I'm under neath polishing it my screws are REALLY LOOSE,,So trails,mud and dirt,no way not for me.....

 

[LMontyCJ2a]

From the first day I owned it the neighbors had to ask what color it was. Some still don't know. Can't wait to put mud tires on.

 

[Missouri Mule]

Would occasionally using the truck(Mule) to maintain a drainage ditch( sand/mud/muck in that order) during rainy season classify as "occasionly driving down logging roads"?

 

[tgbol]

Hey!

If that is the way you enjoy your truck, more power to you. I bought mine to enjoy it in different manner. I do get some snide looks at how dirty the truck is when I come home from the desert or the mountians. Just wait until I get back from Bonneville this year!
