I swung my Jeep right off the road into a Starbucks parking lot today. I know, I know, gutsy move, but I ain't skeered.

An idiot behind the wheel can do that at level 1. There is a big difference between working a vehicle hard and abusing a vehicle. Technique over pure throttle helps prevent damageThink I’ll wait and see at which level someone screws theirs up... I’ll stop one rung up the ladder before that...

Having never done this, I’ll
even then, I’m probably never going to go full bore ever with this Badlands. I might need to buy one down the line that is strictly for abuse, but even then, I don’t know that I go Youtube look at me.
Having never done 4 in an SUV (have done it on 3 & 4 wheelers), I’m probably going to hover somewhere between 4-6 until I get that opportunity to do the Ford off-roading academy.How extreme are you going to take your Bronco?
Level 3: Smooth and well-maintained unpaved roads
Level 4: Ruts and washboards are OK
Level 5: Some of the rocky and rough stuff
Level 6: Bring on staircases and inclines!

At first, Level 1 - 2. I'm going to baby this thing.
As time move on, the precious feeling starting to decrease, I will start to do level 4.
As I gain experience and level up, I will do 5 : P
(And probably stay level 5, unless I'm driving someone else's Bronco)

You say once to Moab, but once you've been, you'll be saying, "Next time..."6 to 7 and maybe once to Moab as a 'bucket list' trip.

Going by this scale, a 4. No rocks out here. Just a whole lotta mud.

Agree, plus there are so many trails of all levels to explore that one trip is not enough. Then throw in Canyonlands & Arches NP's. It's a beautiful place, but always be mindful of the weather as trail ratings can go up exponentially if not to impassable when the rains set in.You say once to Moab, but once you've been, you'll be saying, "Next time..."

I think I've decided that I just want to do all the things they did in the KOH videos, including 60mph across the unpaved roads.
Considering how close we are to that area, it may become a yearly kind of thing. COVID has prevented it from being a big event this year. Next year 'should' be better.You say once to Moab, but once you've been, you'll be saying, "Next time..."

Level 5. Going to be my daily driver, I will look forward to snow days more from now on.
