Off Road For The First Time!
Lastnite we went muddin a little at a friends land he has... it was me in my 97' F-150 4x4 my friends in their... 00' F-350 with 8" of lift and 39" tires, a 97' S-10 4x4 Stock, an 89' Toyota with 3" of body lift and 33" tires, and my friends 79 Jeep J-10 with 8" of lift and 35" tires...
i was very impressed by what my F-150 did... it ran pretty much anywhere the other guys did, all we really did was play in the slop but it was fairly deep in places, however i did go through a creek that was around 3' deep and went right on through... the truck is great, now all i'm waiting for is my lift to get here, i have my tires ready... i'll have pics of the trip soon... for now i'll show a pic of my truck and what i was working with... this off roading is a hell of alot funner than my little imports that i'm used to, this is my first truck and i'm very well pleased by how it performes!!!

Well welcome aboard....but make sure your careful when four wheeling with things like stream crossings. They erode the banks and bed pretty bad and are illeagel in alot of places. Just be careful not to give tree huggers any more reasons to try and close down our fourwheeling places.

yo,
Lottsa fun!
Now you can read about the maintenace needed when after fording streams and rivers and even high tides! You'll need wheel bearing, possible diff/Xfer case fluid inspection/maint + other stuff.
This is a good list (sidekick tho...!):
