i was out with some friends when one of em got suck (a 6" lifted old Dodge with 37" mudders) they went to get a Humvee to yank him out. i was keeping up with the hummer through the trails and even a few small jumps a little over 40mph. ain't too much mud around here. just sand and dirty water

got a 3"BL and Shackles,TT to do this week with 31"
 






what is that someone wrote on the side of your truck? lol
 






Looks like what the dirt roads here will do after a rain. Never let idiots write in the dirt. It will cause permanant scratches. Humvee, or H2?
 






yeah it left scratches in the clearcoat. i didn't let them, i just came out the next day and it was there. we got a little over 100 people in this place, we get drunk and screw around a lot. not too big a deal though. i'm a be getting repainted this summer anyway.

it was a military humvee. surely you've taken one out jeff.
 






Nice plate, i got the same one.
 






i've been debating. having been an MP for over a year now, i like it but just not for the army. i might get POST certified and become a civilian cop in the Kansas City, MO area (one of the suburbs)
 






I've seen sploders dirtier leaving their driveway.

wow, it's got dirty water on it. Give me an hour and I'll get my grand prix to look similar.

So your buddy goes in, gets stuck on 37's. Then you recruit a hummer to pull him out, but you follow him in on your stockers or 31's?

Cause as I see your pics, I see daily drivers in snow and salt looking worse...

they look stock, and they look like they are bald too, or close, maybe 4/32" tread depth left.... my sisters civic is dirtier, and we dont even have snow here, no dirt roads either

ok asse$, give me some crayons so i can help you to understand. i was following the humvee through the trails! not the gaping hole where the dodge was stuck.have you never been out and looked at a hole or trail and said "nope, not this guy" so yes i could follow the humvee no problems cause i wasn't the idiot trying to take on the big **** that i shouldn't try to with my stock explorer and almost new (get that? 235/75/15;one more again...almost new) Michelins. lastly i will remind you in case you didn't read it the first time, not much mud around her. mostly sand.
 






Relax little boy, people are just razing you a little, get used to it. ;)

I doubt anyone was trying to offend you, we just tend to have a bit of fun at others expense from time to time. If you can't take it, don't post it. :rolleyes:

P.s my girlfriends KIA Rio got muddier going up mount Index last weekend :D

Now let me dig through my mud pics and see what I gots, since everyone else is whoring out there truck :o

LITTLE BOY???? naw, you chill out. that's just my nature. i know i'm getting razzed, so i'm dishing back out (i.e.- give me some crayons). no biggie. in case you didn't know, the thin blue line for my front plate means law enforcement. and i'm in the army, so how much razzing do you think i get for being Military Police? don't worry about it. it's already under the rug

BTW: i've been posting over on rangerpowersports.com since about 1998 so i'm kinda familiar with the "family" feel of the message boards
 












I guess it's my obligation to post here. :D

Lol, your under 30 so yes your a little boy, so am I at 26 and I'm proud of it :D Notice the smilies man?

And nah I won't raz you for being law enforcement. Personally I don't care if you work at McDonalds. It's all the same to me. ;)

If it was in jest then add a .. :D ..or a ;).

Lol party on kids, and no offense meant or taken.
If it is that's your problem not mine cause I'm grinning as I type this. :cool:
 






kelly, you seem to relatively new here... i was jsut hassling you sorry if i sounded liek a jerk, honetsly i dotn care if you thought i was a jerk or not, but i didnt mean it as being a jerk.... anywyas, hey at least you are out there wheeling unlike the 95% of suvs owners whos vehicles will never leave pavement....... i get razzed all the time about my 4x2 toyota..... it has explroer rims, and diodes and fuses and relays, i jacked them all form my old explorer ;)
 






nah guys. i was just razzing back. as for smilies...just not a big fan of them, no particular reason just not a fan. besides, i get crap from a bunch of the guys here in my unit. "why are you lifting your explorer? it's just an Explorer!"

i got my Goodyear Wrangler A/TS 31"x10.5" put on yesterday and i should get the body lift, shackles and TT all on tomorrow. then a few of us should go out on some trails sunday. i'll have some pics, but again i'll remind y'all. ain't much mud around here in north carolina. most everywhere is just sand. the mud will have to wait till i get back to missouri in about a month.

Adlib:i love the look of the Goodyears. they're simliar to BFG A/T KO
 






the goodyear ats look nothing like the bfg, and the goodyears suck! the only good goodyear is the mtr
