Default Off Roading in a RWD

So I've got a 2000 Tracker 2dr and I love it, the only problem is it's 2wd only. I know there's ways to convert it and I'll probably do that at some point, but I was wondering what its off roading capabilities really are as it is.

Probably won't try like mudding with it being 2wd but what about some trails that might get a little steep?

Thanks!

You really do need 4WD for serious off road use. However two things will help:

1.Locking rear axle.

2. Momentum. Even in a 4WD you often need to speed up, not slow down.

Oh yeah tire pressures can help too. Lower them in mud and sand. And hit the gas!
