its not over, wait until your under the rig wrenching and you get dirt in your eyes...

yes, if you dont get it off while its wet, its not easy to get off. I learned my lesson with my TJ

I now drive around any mud I see. this is one trip, I'm glad I was not on

I was wondering if there was water out there. Looked like fun, except the getting stuck part!

Looks fun, although I avoid the mud like a plauge!! LOL

I loved the picture of the two jeeps on the lake bed with the reflection of the jeeps on the water. Quite awesome.

I have to remember never to forget my hubs, i am not used to having to lock them in.
