[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1417634, member: 16101"] That's true, I didn't. You have to put everything in perspective. When I started wheeling (in the 80s), there was no legal, illegal places. We'd wheel green mountain one day, then Tahuya that night. (Back then) Tahuya had 10Xs the amount of open territory. It was wide open. There was no signs saying 'closed' anywhere. If we wanted a road trip, then off to Evans we'd go. For vacation, it's off to Shoestring or Rimrock. These were pre-diesel truck days, before anyone towed across country unless you HAD to. Recreational towing to, say, California's Rubicon was a PITA, with a winded out 350 carb'd, getting a 5 MPG. Of course, we were all broke financially too (youth), so you did what you had to do to have fun. This was before "environmental concerns" were prevalent. Hell, I recall doing STOOPID things back then. So in effect, where we all came from was the 'Grey' area of wheeling. Are you asking me if we should go back to that? Then no. There is no going back. But.. if you are asking me if the whole wheeling world is going back, yeah, that's a distinct probability. In which case, welcome to 1994. And I picked 1994 deliberately, because that's the year I did TTC in a well built STREET legal CJ5, which, was 'state of the art' technology back then. Is my current rig 1994? Nah, it's EFI & Atlas'd with 60s on beadlocks. None of that was 1994 in wheelin' back then. But I do see the trend towards buggies diminishing and streetable wheelers rebounding. [/QUOTE]
