Opinions on when to let a 16 year old go off-roading

So much of what everyone said is so true.
Thanks for chiming in.

So... he went out.
No mechanical issues and no mishaps.

However he changed his plans and went to a different location so he would have been screwed if he had a issue and I would have had needed to rescue him.
He came back with this photo

Nice pic! Looks like they had fun.

I used to wheel the heck out of my first car, which was an 84 Chevy Blazer. My dad was ok with it as long as "we kept the dumb shit to a minimum."

Congrats! Watching and reading this thread brings back memories! Being a dad is tough; being a dad and a teacher and an enforcer is more than tough!

It does bring back memories. I went out with my friends at that age and got in trouble. My dad seemed much more level than me but maybe that's just what it seemed.

Secondary to that, "hold my beer! Watch this!"

Update on the trip.
So this morning I'm told by my son he turned around and left early the other night because his brakes didn't seem right.

I go check it out and saw this

Brake line broken.
He must have bottomed out so hard that it broke the brake line. Have to admit the repair has to be done better than it is. But don't know where to go with it other than replacing it for now.
