[crushers]

ummm, do you have a sticker on the back "just add mud"?
cause i saw your setup in person ... i am trying to remember where i saw it ... i was thinking, i should go say Hi and then started chatting with my wife.
you wouldn't remember my RHD vehicle cause is was a small black van/car...

small world.

lol nope ..... but in the dust from the weekend i wrote "NEEDS MUD" .... its only had the black tailgate since i bought it, was originally all white and bought for a tailgate by a friend ..... and i bought the left overs for a discounted price ..... its cost me in total a little over $650, and i paid $400 for just the truck

 

[crushers]

that is the one then...
crap, i could have said Hi .

what areas did you drive to?

so was this little trail up near tobermory then? cool shots.
been there many times, the water is absolutely clear and i did a discovery dive there (it's the dive capital of canada so they say).
anywho, glad you had fun on the trails.

well i didn't have legit plates on the truck so i kept it close to the camp site ......it was merely so they would let me park it there,
found two trails one in bum fxxx nowhere.... the other was an ATV trail i believe but was wide enough for my truck so i took a spin,
id love to get the truck up to crushers to do the trail we did when i rode along with Simon (lost)..... but for lack of a lift id avoid that mud hole just before the hill only crusher made it up.....

(cough)skinny muds(cough)

actually i have made it through that hole with my ATS. it is surprising how far someone can go on street tires when they have others around to push and tug.

i remember this time, not too long ago, where a stock 40 on street tires did one of the nastiest mud trails in MacClain Creek outside of Calgary. he was up against trucks equiped with 36" tractor tires, 38' Swampers, and a few other major players.

well he did...

you don't want to listen to an old man telling stories. lets just say the drove from the beginning to the end laughing all the way.

 

[syco]

lol im more worried about the gaint hole in my tailgate letting water into my cab ..... i was there for the run when you made it through on the snow tires

 

[crushers]

well, i will lend you a set of tires to run and a roll of duct tape.
see you tomorrow?

 

[Lost]

hey alan, looks like you had fun, too bad you didnt come to burnt. i hit up the bass lake road trail...twice, with lee and his 4runner. thanksgiving weekend??

 

[syco]

lol (crusher) i wish i could i have the bug to wheel so bad but the tow rig blew a wheel bearing, and duct tape, if there was enough there to tape to it would work but there is more rust the tailgate....
and (lost) if i can get my truck up there im down id love to wheel my truck there
