Mud ruins EVERYTHING... components, morale, traction, wheel balance, sheet metal, control, bearings, pulley's......you get the pic...

I just shelled out 1-k to fix my sheet metal. MUD was directly responsible...along with a live tree.

I declare WAR on MUD...We must ALL CONQUER & DESTROY MUD.

SCOOP IT...BLOW IT UP...SCORCH IT...

I love the smell of napalm scorthing mud in the morning...

OK..Goodnight...gotta get up early and clean my F^%$in' undercarriage.

Both great points!!


Biggest suck was moving back to TX from the West Coast. Rocks and climbs much more fun....but sometimes you have to make due with what you have. Both can be very expensive. I have plenty of tree scars as a result mud, but just as many from getting in tight spots in the mountains and thin single track....afterall scares are stories! I would rather slide the side of my FJ on a tree than a jagged rock though!! at least its usually just a scratch that can't be buffed out...but usually doesn't dig into the sheet metal as often.

not to be misunderstood...i would much rather be wheeling on the west coast than here. but few spots around here have anything resembling a mountain!! i just have to clean my under carrage more often!

the worst thing is that cause of gas prices, i will be cleaning under the truck much more than i would like. last i calculated, it would be close to $800 in gas JUST to get to Cali, UT, AZ or NV and back:(
