Wheeling out by Mink Lake pics

So a couple buddies and I decided late Saturday night that we should go for a day trip Sunday. I was going to make a thread up on here, but figured I wouldn't get much luck in such little time.

It ended up being a long day, but a good day. Buddy was tagging along with his sandrail and snapped a CV joint, we towed the sandrail to the trailer and he kept wheeling but in his 1990 propane f250. Came up to a large mudhole that we were all forced to go through to get past. The f150 with 35'' mud terrains just made it through. Buddy in the 4 runner got pretty sideways in the hole, and got stuck after several tries. I got stuck because of my shitty bfg all terrains, and ended up pushing in my front fender, cracking my front light, and pushing in my rear quarter panel when sliding into the rut (see video).

The propane f250 made it through, and then tried going at it back a second time; ended up snapping his alternator belt, it got caught in the fan, and sliced a 3 inch hole in his lower rad hose. When the newer f150 went to turn around to tow out the other Ford he tore his valve stem off on a stump.

So here we are, both Fords broken down, two Toyota's standing. Hehe. Trusty Cruiser pulled out the propane f250, and we had to change the tire on the newer f150. I ended up towing the propane f250 for a good 10 min all the way back to the park gates with my Cruiser, and we all headed back to town. Ended up grabbing another trailer, two Duramax's, and headed all the way back to mink lake and towed home the propane f250 and sandrail. And that was only a small part of the day.

We need all go for a day run out here some weekend, it's good fun, but you can't be scared of tree scratches, these are quad trails. I'll try to make a trip thread next time.

Couple pics and videos, there were more, but this is all I had on my camera:

Need locker and m/t's asap.

See that tow strap, that's right.
