Does off-roading mess up your alignment?

I just got my first Jeep and I was thinking about taking it off-roading. I don't want to mess up my new ride though. Does off-roading ruin your alignment or anything?

! If you like off-roading that’s certainly a good vehicle for it! That being said, the answer to the question does off-roading mess up your alignment? is a resounding yes.
Off-roading, by its very nature, involves a lot of uncertainty and unpredictable variables. Rocks, ditches, and bumps can all cause your wheels to become misaligned—it’s one of drivers’ most common problems after off-roading.
A messed-up alignment can be a severe hazard when you’re driving. If you’re going to be doing any off-road driving, you’ll want to have your Jeep looked over by a mechanic after each adventure.
