[QUOTE="84Toyota4x4, post: 818049, member: 16626"] My personal stand point on this comes from wheeling a truck that wasnt equipped to run a lot of the trails as they were "intended". I used to start a trail, and if I saw an obsticle that I may or may not get over, I would try it a few times, and when I was sure that I couldnt get past it, I would go around, if applicable. HOWEVER, never ONCE would I even THINK about bush whacking and cutting a new trail simply because I couldnt get past an obsticle. I would get mad that my truck would get over, turn around, and go back. So, as you an see, I feel that using ESTABLISHED bypasses is perfectly fine. However, I DO NOT agree with people who trample all the brush and shrubs simply to get around something they shouldnt be driving over in the first place. Now then, I have to ask Jobless... What about bypasses that are seasonal? Say for instance a trail you are running goes through a large mud bog in the wet months, but in the summer, its easy driving through ruts. Is it ok, in the wet months, instead of drowning your truck because the water comes over your hood, to use the bypass around? Or do you just turn around simply because you dont have a snorkel/breathers set up on your truck? If the bypass is there, whats the harm in using it? ~T.J. [/QUOTE]
