Hey guys,
Figured I'd share my first offroad trip in my stock lariat here instead of uploading a bunch of photos to the "What did you do with your ranger today" thread.
One of the guys had a drone so there are some cool air shots. Myself, Two Jeeps and a Subaru Crosstrek went to Rausch Creek PA for some light offroading since it was my first time. We were expecting rain but got quite a bit of snow. Off the trial it was probably about knee high (I'm 5'7/5'8) and some of the less traveled trails were still pretty deep. The stock Ranger handled it like a champ. Never got stuck although I did have to do the ole backup and try again trick a few times. Also the turn the wheel side to side over and over till you get traction (idk there is a term for that). The trip further confirmed that a lift is the first priority and new tires. The two jeep guys are pretty experienced so it was a nice learning experience for me.
Attaching some photos and a drone video that the Subaru guy made.
Two of the files were too big so here are some Google Drive links:
