Brighton, Illinois Mud Bog May 31st
« on: May 21, 2008, 11:04:50 AM »
Post up if you wanna go.  Not as large as the other mud bashes in the area but it's near my house and it's something to do that weekend.  Here's a few pics from last year:

This years bash was a lot better than the previous two.  They finally organized the event and charged admission which kept most of the idiots out.  The space is rather small compared to other area mud bashes but it's pretty cool to have one so close to home.  A lot of people showed up to watch but there were only about 50 trucks that ran in the mud.


Here's a view of the property:



There were three Toyotas there, my truck another 3rd gen (didn't get any pics) and this cool yellow FJ.





Here's a nice Jeep but it didn't get dirty.



My buddy Ric's Bronco:





My truck did pretty good on this "horseshoe" section:











I got brave and tried the deepest pit there:





I was able to move back and forth about 2 feet but I was stuck.





The '90 is now dirty inside and out and smells like cow poo...oh well, made for some good pics.

Cow Poo?   Yuck!  :crazy:
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Two weekends of cleaning and the smell's gone but I still have a ways to go to get the interior looking good again.  I don't mind getting myself muddy, but getting back in the vehicle covered in mud is no fun!
