For today's wedding anniversary I decided to look for a nice drive in the country for the wife and I... ... .

Ended up mud bogging as if my life depended on it... darn road turned into a snowmobile trail... way too wet and muddy for the wife... had to dig out the trusty husqv'na chainsaw on several occcasions to get my butt out of the woods... creeping on the dry stuff was ok in 4 lo, but when it got wet... .

MAN OH MAN can our trucks move some mud I just kept thinking... Hit 3rd gear with all you can and then pray... 'cause if I got stuck they would not have found me until next winter... .
(saw 32PSI on the boost gauge at one point while slogging hard in one very nasty bog)

Publicly I made the 'I'm sorry' face to my distraught wife... . (oh, very unhappy)

Privately I was PSYCHED. . WHAT A TOTAL BLAST (except for a few minor dings on the axles... )
======================
footnote: time to buy a winch and a bit more gnarly tires... #ad

David, what kind of tires do you have, I have POS cooper discoverer all terrains half worn out. I can push mud with the front bumper, if there is a bottom on the mud hole. #ad
If there is not, break out the bulldozer and logging chains.

David,
Sounds like fun. You're not really four wheeling unless you get stuck right????? #ad

I get to drive my truck tomorrow, it's been four weeks since I left it at the airport on May 2.

Say, what are you doing with that extra ESPAR heater? Lucky dog. .

Since cash is an option, that 2nd ESPAR will likely be a WARN winch and brush guard.
