little mud fun in the winter
« on: January 03, 2011, 05:04:58 AM »
well since we had some snow it warmed up to 50 and started to rain. rain and snow makes good for mud ::). well took the truck and blazer out to the mud pit no action photos but got the aftermath


and my buddies blazer with 44's he hit a rut and popped the bead on his tires and lucky right before we just got done mounting my humvee tires on some rims I had laying around for 8 or so years

and since i didnt wash my truck off its now below freezing and the mud is frozen to my tuck

     It looks like you guys had a blast.

how good a time you had is directly related to the amount of mud on the truck when you get home, and you got some mud on there!!

did some wheeling myself this weekend.  went out with my cousin and his bronco.  he was leading and i watched him break through some ice and sink about 2.5 ft into mud.   that was a fun recovery.

The fenders I didn't do a shop did them. They are cut and rolled so there are no sharp edges. If you look at them its a smooth finish look and they almost look like that's the way they came from the factory. The blazer on he other hand only has a 4" lift and 44s under her so the fenders were cut just with a saw. Its ok for a mud truck it doesn't have tags anymore lol except for parades and Other things then we just slap on farm tags.
