No offense, but where's the mud? Looked like just muddy water, and not very deep at that. If you want a real test, take her down to the Louisiana swamp trails. Those Cajuns don't even call it mud bogging, unless the mud comes up over the hood. Looks like fun, though.

Nice looking truck, though. Last decent mud I had was on some of the old logging roads on top of the Grand Mesa near Grand Junction, CO. I noticed you were from Valencia. Was this mudhole courtesy of one of the recent thunderstorms?
I have been thinking about getting an Ex, but I am curious as to how you trashed your transfer case. Did it have something to do with the lift, or is there some inherent weak spot I should know about. Thanks.

Great looking truck, but here in Louisiana we've got sections of interstate that look a bit worse than that...
If you haven't done it already, could you list the suspension mods on your truck? I'd like to lift mine simply to make it easier to clean - the mud we have here usually requires a shovel to remove, and I hate lying on my back under the truck when trying to get it clean.

Yes I live in Valencia California, but that place there was in the San Gabriel Mountains next to Azusa. Those last Thunderstorms didnt hit us to hard back here, what did hit us hard was the rains back in january which took out some main HWY's.
As far as the transfer case goes you could go to the 6.0 diesel section on this forum and I posted a thread there, look for thread= "weak spot? or did i push it to the limit" There youll figure out that it was mainly my fault. I have pulverized this truck to points where after the fact I sit there and ask my self wtf was I thinking?

Ahh that 3-wheeler in the first vid has the right idea!!
Gotta love the comments from your ladyfriend and the peanut gallery though!
Cool vid, at least you've got the cajones to take your rig out, not many people do!
On Edit: Hold up, I just re-read your first post. . .how the hell did you bust your t-case? Surely not going through that stuff, mud didn't even come up to the rim. Details, we need details!!
