It was muddy today.

That rim is still clean, please try again and this time get everything.

. I just realized that that picure is huge. I'll work on resizing that...

Yes, that wheel is clean for some reason. I just spent $20 at the carwash and another 45 minutes at home hosing all that stupid mud off. No matter what your buddies say, NEVER go wheeling the day after it rains.

I hate mud.

My son gets me to drive in the mud when he sees it, and I pay for it for months later when I crawl under the truck to fix something and get a face full of dirt, and that is after I've hit it with a hose which I do after every run.

Sucks when you stick that pin in your eye a couple weeks later when you are working on the badge.

reklund5 · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 05:18:18 PM »

badge of honor my left foot.

Out here in the desert we hardly ever get to go wheel in the mud. It makes everything so slippery that it sucks and you can't drive the big rocks as usual.

I'll spend another hour tomorrow cleaning the inside too...

pretty much the only spots on the runner that didn't have any mud was where our butts where.My wife and her bestfriend loved it.Except for the fact it was about 40 degrees that day.

Hyena · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:00:26 PM »

I don't like mud either.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:25:14 PM »

Sissies. If you had some tires that worked worth a damn in the mud your tune must might change a bit. Come up here to the PNW and wheel, 9 months out of the year its either mud or snow. The remaining 3 months its just marginally damp.

Hyena · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:27:48 PM »

I will say it, MTR's aren't great in the mud. But i had a bad experience in the mud once. I had to get a new windshield after that trip. Lets just say i don't trust tow hooks anymore, especially welded on ones.

I admitted in an above post that I'm a weenie

You're right, the MTR's SUCK in the mud. They loaded up and didn't unload until I hit pavement. But down here in the Desert SW in New Mexico, the MTR's are great 99% of the time. I'll be in the PNW in December- if I put on some SSR's, will you take me wheeling?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:38:24 PM »

So your saying you wheel with people dumb enough to use welde don towhooks then? Id be more apt to not like the genius welding the hooks on than the mud.

SSR's are worse than mtr's up here. I ran mine for 2 runs before selling them and buying my sx's. I couldnt go anywhere at all with them on my truck and I was constantly worried about losing a sidewall.

So you'll be up here in december eh? Hmmm what date? I could set up a killer wheeling trip depending on just how stupid you'd like to get.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:39:31 PM »

Mud only sucks when you stop for too long

That suction will kill clutches and R&P's, and crawler gears don't work eaither. Good for us people with lead feet. :yup:

Time for a presure washer.

Getting stupid isn't a problem at all. I'm all for an adventure. I dunno If I'm driving up or flying yet. If I drive, I'll drag my pickup on the trailer and see what kinda fun there is to have. It looks like it'll be around the week between Xmas and new years, but that could change still.

And no, I dont use weld on tow hooks. Hyena does.

Hyena · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 07:42:13 PM »

None of us run those kind of tow hooks anymore. After that incident they were all cut or even hammered off.

Hmm if your really up for it and you drag your junk.. hell even if you fly up you could ride shotty and we could hit Naches.

Hmmm that'd be an adventure....

So what area you heading to? Seattleish or Portlandish?

Hmm evil thoughts.... If you towed you'd come up on 15 into 84. That'd lead you right into Oregon at the WA border. It drops you off on I-5 so its a simple drive from there. If you dumped off onto 97 north at Biggs junction it'd lead you right by G-dale (cal/WE rock event area) into Yakima which is 50 miles from my house. That leads you over either snoqualmie pass or White pass into Seattle.

Tempting. I'll let you know what we decide to do. Good snow wheeling in December?

Ryan

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:15:03 PM »

Ever driven on 15' of snow before?

wa4x4 · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:26:51 PM »

Where in Eastern Washington can you drive in 15 feet of snow. Sounds like fun!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:28:12 PM »

Walla walla in april has that on a regular basis Its in the Blue mountains.

wa4x4 · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:29:12 PM »

Awesome I have never been to Walla Walla before.

reklund5 · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:30:35 PM »

Down here about the best it ever gets is 15" to drive on, unless you're WAY up in the mountains....

Ryan

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:37:39 PM »

We have area's within 20 miles of my house that have 3-4' that gets drifted into valleys. Lots of local fun. Most of the area has about 12-18" otherwise. Up in the mountains your in 3-5' as a standard rule and we're supposed to get DUMPED on this year.

reklund5 · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 08:40:53 PM »

There was snow on the ground where we went wheeling today... Only like a little bit in a few places, but there was snow nonetheless. We're supposed to get more than normal here this winter too. Colorado is getting dumped on as we type...

I've gotta winterize my Swamp Cooler tomorrow before it freezes here. Supposed to dip into the 30's this week.---BRRRRRR

I love fall!
