Thanks for the advice. After reading several more posts here on the forum, I agree that I am not ready for GOX. Another thing I read was that the obsticals always seem more difficult in real life than the do in pictures. After reading that post, I realize that the obsticals I've driven over may have seemed a lot more difficult than they actually were. As far as wheeling in TX goes, no I have not been to any serious 4WD areas, mostly just stuff I have found on my own and a couple of back roads in Colorado. I am about 40 miles north of Dallas, so SA would be about a 5 or 6 hour drive for me, know of any trails in the North Texas area I could try?
