Sweet. People from this area!

Either of y'all off road much? Since I got the Bronco with giant tires and lift, I'd like to take it out and get it all muddy. The more the merrier...

Every day, mine gets muddy, I work out of my personal truck in the oilfield. Don't really know of many good places to offroad here though.

I sold my 4x4 several years ago and all i have now is a ext cab 2wd, so not much for off road. It is real dirty due to a dirt driveway and all the rain we have had though, does that count.

gt347sc: It does count. haha. Growing up in the country, I can feel your pain completely.

mrxlh: mudding in your breadwinner would be a bad idea. If something went terribly wrong, it could cost you more than just the price to fix it. I've had that kind of thing happen before. Mudriding in a 2wd at our farm in Blanchard. Everyone I knew with a truck was out of pocket, both our tractors were down, and there wasnt a tree for 500 yards. In the process of sticking the truck to the point where the doors coulnt be opened, I also managed to damage the control arms. I ended up spending close to 6 solid hours digging it out so I wouldnt have to miss another day of work. That sucked.

After that fiasco, I got one of our Fords out and got it going strictly for playing in. It was still 2wd, but would really get it in the mud. I still have it, but it needs a little work and radiator.

If we get more people in the area to join up here we could go and takeover some parking lot sometime and compare rides and such.

I don't live there now but I'm from the Shreveport area. I grew up near Minden. I have a small place in Claiborne parish off highway 79. I'll post up the next time I'm coming down & maybe we can meet up.

That's cool. My wife is from Minden.
That's good area on 79 between Minden and Haynesville. Lots of pretty thick woods. I get up that way pretty often working and stuff.

Drop a post next time you're out this way.

I'm coming to Minden next weekend to turkey hunt. Maybe we can meet up before I have to go home. Redneck'n my land is on a road at the parish line of Claiborne & Webster on 79. Its about 2 miles off 79. There are some pretty woods in that area.
