Question 1st gen wheeling ?????? (4x4, off-road, pics??)

How many of you use your 1st gen for off-road travel beyond what a two wheel drive will handle? How many of you have modified your 1st gen for true off-road capabilities? Any one ever rock crawl in a 1st gen? Any body have good picks of their 1st gen off the pavement??? PLEASE!!??!!

I did some 4 wheeling in the fresh snow on the ski hill here last weekend, no rock crawling though, and I don't even have a flex pic yet(just installed the 4" lift a couple weeks ago). I have a set of BFG MT 35x12.50R17s waiting to go on, I just need some new wheels for them...

1stgen545, is that a custom crossmember on your blue dodge or is that just a bracket for your traction bars?
