I did quite a bit of off roading in mine and it would handle everything I could throw at it. Where about in michigan are you?

Anything man, really haha. I generally inspect an obstacle before I attempt it, and there have been numerous times where I have stood staring at the obstacle, saying to myself, there is nooooo way i'm going to make it over that climb or through that hole... ha but somehow, the cucv proves me wrong every time.

The thing i loved about my cucv was that it was just a toy and not my daily driver so whenever things stared to look bad i would just hit the gas and hold on. I been out to silver lake a few times but I have not had an MV out there jet, maybe this summer.

I havent done much wheeling in mine (M1009) just a few trails and light mud. Where I live theres no fun stuff like rocks and hills. Just rice fields and mud holes and that gets old real quick.
I find the truck does ok for what it is. I'm about to get some 33" mud tires and go hit some real trails. Im running Goodyear A/T and its not at all impressive.

Off Road
Still paying the price for taking the 1010 'off road'. Will always pay the price when you beat your gear.
After a day of fun there can be hours and hours of work to get them road safe and bearing happy again.
It's more fun and cheaper to use your buddy's gear when going off road.
Mine get bathed and pampered daily.

I've done a little bit around Southern Va. Nothing like the above video or rock crawling.

I've been out a few times with my M1009. Won't rock crawl or run through mud pits. So far my truck has done pretty well.

My M1028A1 has done pretty well thus far. I've only managed to get it stuck twice and it's not for a lack of trying. I also make sure to carry a good bit of recovery stuff just in case. (logging chain, come-a-long, high lift jack, etc.)

Most i have done is make a couple paths through some brush, hardly off roading as it once was a road like 20 years ago.
Cant wait to do some real stuff, but my truck is my driver and money maker so i have to take it easy for now

running 37" BFG baja TA with recentered 12b H1's, 1 tons, and 4" ORD lift with 52's ( springs ) front and rear...
So you had to trim a good amount?

I have been quite a bit with my M1008, rock climbing and a good bit of mud. it's amazing what these trucks will handle with just good tires and a little clearance. Don't have pictures on this iPad but I'll try to post them up later
