Well I went out for a little Monday afternoon wheelin this evening for the first time in the new 80, all was good, got to use the lockers a couple of times worked like a champ and then I decided to go through a pretty good size mudhole. I almost got to the other end when I just bottomed out in the mud, belly of the truck resting on the bottom not one tire touching anything......IH8MUD!!! Nothing a little tug with a strap wouldnt cure. Felt real good to wheel a litle bit, it had been way to long. Big thanks to Fletcher (rockdragster) for coming and pulling me out and thanks to J for being on standby. The pictures dont look that bad and it really wasnt its just hard to go anywhere with all four wheels basically off the ground. Any ways heres a couple of pics feel free to laugh at my expense.

Yeah some MT's would have been nice But believe it or not the tires on it now are basically brand new, I just noticed in that one picture how bald the tires looked but they are just slicked over.

LOL!!!! Yeah, what rebuild kit did you end up ordering?

I think it's going to be the Cruiser Outfitter kit, with some inner Marlin seals and Koyo bearings. Are you/have you done the diff breather extension?

Too much to do to a vehicle after playing in too much mud.

[jfz80]

[fj40z]

That is friggin hilarious!!! and it was me driving as much as I wish I could say I wasnt. She didnt care that we got stuck at all, way cool about it, loved going wheelin' for the first time.

"....remember that first time I went wheeling with you, the time we got stuck"

Thats how she'll always remember it, now lift that thing, and put some tires on it and stop hiding in the woods....and come wheeling with us.

LOL! Youre right about the lift and tires, would have made all the difference.
