YOu would be suprised how much of the Mojave Desert I have covered in my 2WD Nissan pick up trucks, I love Johnson Valley east of Victorville. No one said I were smart, lol. Don't forget the definition of 4WD.."You are now stuck in a worse place"... I have done my share of 4 wheelin now as I am getting older I just stay on the little dirt trails (let the air down and go fast if you see sand) Thanks for the Hi to all of you... Mojave
