jeeping

Rugged terrain recreation

Jeeping is recreational off-road driving in a Jeep or similar four-wheel-drive vehicle, typically over rugged terrain like trails, rocks, mud, or sand.

The activity emphasizes the vehicle's capability to handle challenging conditions that would stop ordinary cars.

We spent the weekend jeeping through the mountain trails.

Enthusiasts often modify their vehicles with lifted suspensions and oversized tires to tackle increasingly difficult obstacles.
