If anyone is familar with QuadCities Il/IA on the IL side theres the 280 bridge, when i had the 79 power wagon and the 90 power ram thats where id go, theres fun for all levels, but dont get cocky, i was stuck for 3 weeks before i got pulled out by a farmer with a 4X4 Stieger with duals at all 4 corners, shoulda listened, God i miss those days, when lived in orlando in 02 used to go about 1/2 mile south of universal theme park and wheel with the 90 dodge but im sure thats been developed by now, or just cruise the beach in daytona, on the FXR or the 90 Dodge, miss the beach to, what the F**k was i thinking moving back to IL LOL

I'm originally from Michigan. I love to play in the sand at Silver Lake, and the mud holes in Yankee Spring Rec. area. Although last time i visited , a lot of the trails have been closed. http://www.bradenton-auto-repair.com/

NO JOKE AT ALL! They bring custum trucks and all kinds off stuff. We go evey year on New years and have gone for 6 years now and its a freaking blast! But if you dont wana drive that far (2 1/2 hours) far just find a country road and find some mud.
Hell ya sounds good. Next time you go ill try and tag along, that way you could pull me out cause im sure ill get in over my head! ill have my mud terrains on by than but im sure the lil 4.7 wont have enough power to keep me from boggin down. but ill look good doin it lol

It's also the site they test land speed records at, and filmed the end of the last Fast and Furious movie. BIG, flat lake bed for going fast and getting sideways, and a lot of trails, whoops and dirt sections off to the sides of the bed.
