should I go off-road?
Hi guys, I have a 95 f150 4wd 5.0l and I want to start taking it off the road. My question is: is it a good idea with a single cab 8 foot bed truck? how do you guys get the underbody clean afterwards? do any fluids need change afterwards? Im not talking about mud holes just wood trails.
any tips are great thanks.

Drive safely. No need to change any fluids unless you get into some really deep water. Bring a towstrap. As for the trails, when in doubt don't try it out unless you have another vehicle to pull you out. Bring emergency gear (water, flashlight, blankets or sleeping bag). Hose the undercarriage if muddy, but avoid hosing the engine if at all possible, especially the top of the engine. Last but not least, let someone know where u are going.
