If I remember right, a friend sent me that one a couple years ago. They were out muddin' on ATVs and just came up to it. Nobody around... Figured someone must of got stuck alone and went for help or some a$$es stole it and got it stuck there...

I would be worried about rocks that might puncture your oil pan or fuel tank. I am considering buying a skid plate from mopar.com. I take my truck on the beach and frequently hit small rocks with the bottom of my truck, hopefully the skid plate will solve this.

It's "wheeling" man, it all depends on your driving style and how aggressive the terrain is you go driving on. There are always risks of vehicle damage when off-roading...just check out the amount of aftermarket protective equipment there is for Jeeps out there!
