For those that are new & don't understand what he is saying.....


He hosts a mud rally twice a year. Once in the Spring & once in the fall.
This takes place down near Mankato. When he sets things up, he will be here to post a date & time.
If your interested then you either reply here or send him a email.

Would 32x11.5 BFG A/T's get me anywhere at that event? What kind of tire do you guys normally use, the truck is my daily driver. It has a 4" lift. I go to Mankato often, so I'd like to check it out, but not sure if my rig is up to it. '90 XLT 5.8L, stock gears, etc. Any advice on what I would need to bring for preparation? Snap strap, chains, come-along, winch? I have a small winch that slips over my receiver ball, but probably isn't much help, great for the ATV, probably not so much for the Bronco.

You have 4X4 Right? Then if you show up that is half the battle.

Click Here or Click this one for talk about his mud gathering this past Spring.

I didn't make the last one & I probally won't make this one either. I had ran into problems with my truck & still having problems getting it straight again.

I'll plan to be there. The Wendy's you're talking about, is that up on Madison Ave? What cross street is it near...haven't paid much attention lately and can't recall where it is.

I'll bring some extraction gear, but I honestly will probably mostly spectate, since I'm new to the sport, I don't need to roll it or wreck it my first time out.

I should be there around 10-10:15 Saturday AM.

Josh

Since a few of us did actually get together on Saturday, I wanted to say Thanks! to Ben for providing the space and especially the recovery strap for this past weekend! There wasn't a lot of mud, but what was there was plenty enough!

Ben, if your buddy is interested in the Bronco, let him know it now has a newly replaced steering box. That leak didn't stop, so I must've tore a seal inside. No biggie, I got another one with a 1 year warranty. I'll be replacing it Thursday night.

Peace,
Josh
