I met up with a couple friends in New Hartford to check out some trails that they know. These are legal state forest roads. We were having a great time until we came to a muddy area with a few big holes in the middle. I made it through without any problems (man I love the Super Swampers), my friend in his stock Taco slammed his way through it, and then the Land Rover buried himself in it. The attempts to pull him out resulted in twisting the crap out of his bumper, and partially breaking his tow point. Then we tried hooking the front of my Jeep up to the Taco and trying a 2 truck pull, but that resulted in my tow point snapping in 2. We finally decided the only way to get him out was backwards, and that is when another XJ showed up and did the honors. The twisted part of the bumper was completely torn off after the Rover was pulled back out.

I think they just went looking for mud to test the tires... forest roads make the best mud runs after some good rain....

I was in 2wd for just about everything. I used 4wd for the mud section, and a couple of hill climbs, but that was it. As matus2 said, this was a trial run for the tires. I wanted to make sure I didn't have any rubbing, and I wanted to check out the area for future light wheeling/fishing days.
