The terrain never lets you exceed about 10 mph. With tires I would have to stay on the road, I can do that in my pickup truck. the idea is to access where I want to access. The capabilities of it allow me to go almost anywhere on the mountain. I have 80 acres and haven't seen all of it yet. There are places you're not going in anything up there, even difficult on foot. The plan is if there are things in the way that can damage the tracks or the truck, just go around, move it or cut it out of the way. After I have established trails to the areas I want to visit, it should be boring. There is a very good spot I found while hiking for long distance target practice but it is a difficult hike out having to carry everything. I grew up in Michigan ( flat as a pancake ) not so much here. if it rains on the mountain it gets very muddy. I don't hot rod it there, just slow and steady, I haven't had any issues while driving it around where the tracks or the truck were being abused or damaged in any way. I don't think you want to be doing 30 mph. and hit a bowling ball sized rock as that would damage something. Its not in distructable so going slow and using some common sense, I think they will work out just fine. The truck is now for summer use and emergency winter use. It will stay at the cabin full time from now on.
