Well, I knew it would happen and it probably won't be the last. The good was swimmin and grillin. The bad well I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

wow, why is there a giant trench...is your truck alright?
 






so you found a good wheelin' spot!! cool.


looks like you got away without any body damage huh? lucky!
 






And now you'll have to shampoo the seat covers again. Damn.
 






Yeh, no body damage. This spot use to be a cool hill to wheel up, but the rain washed out the trail and end result creating this washed out ditch. There has since been another trail next to it You can't really see it in the pics, but as you look at the front of the ex in the pic it would be on the passenger side, the trick was to avoid this unless you have a set up that can tackle such a ditch, which I don't obviously. I took the hilll to slow and attempted to back down to give it another run at it. My driver side rear went to the ditch and rear axle capsized on the edge. Would'nt budge from there. A rookie mistake on my part. My buddy couldn't pull me out with his jeep, so I had to call another buddy of mine who runs a towing business, who then was able to winch me out.
 






whoops
 






Oh the joys of running stock. lots of fun, then when you get stuck, it's all down hill from there. That's when the Mods start...LOL

I have seen this rig and it is a very clean & pristine vehicle. It will be a very sharp off roader someday I am sure of it.

Keep hammering away at them trails man! Don't forget we will be returning to Smorr in the fall for a weekend of more abuse :)
 






only thing it's missing is some beer cans that fell out the door. :P I bet we can photo shop some in.
 






Guys keep it clean. There was no need for the two post that I just remvoed
