Hit the trails

Been away for a little while thought I'd post some pics.
My buddy and I went out after it flooded in our area and
hit the trails. I only have some pics of a few days after
of what the trails looked like. Surprisingly I didn't loose
bead on any of my tires. We wheel at night and the Pro-
comps really came in handy!

Looks good, how many people went with you?

Just curious, do you have a on board air compressor?

I was the only vehicle out there. My buddy Greg always goes with me.
I have one of those little dinky plug into your cigarette lighter tire pumps.

If I loose a bead I have two spares on rims that are in my bed.
Look for my last thread when Greg and I went out in the middle of the night
I lost my front driveshaft and the front driver's side tire.

I remember your old thread, that's why I was asking if you had a compressor, b/c I remember your tires would come off the bead alot. When I read you had a cigarette lighter tire pump, I was thinking that's what you used to air your tire back up! MAN that would take a longggg time. Wish I had 2 full size spares too.

I have three full size spares but they have small rims so I can only put
them on the rear axle. When the fronts loose bead I have to swap them
with the back rims and tires and then put my spares on the back.
It's a pain in the ****.

Man, what do you use to lift the tire off the ground when you loose a bead on the trail like that? Hi lift jack?
But hey, at least you didn't loose a bead this time.

Yeah I bought a high lift jack before I lifted her.
I'm going out this weekend with a bunch of other mud rigs
for some swamp fun. Should be cool they have 38's and 44's so I'll
be the little guy.

Talking Rain delay ?

I thought the BEST time to go muddin' was WHEN it's raining !! That way you can get the truck dirty and washed at the same time.

Why would you want to wash your truck? Mud is the best paintjob ever.

I had about 50-80 people fired up to go to the mud ride, and about 10 buddys with trucks, and we were all together the night before, and someone called asking if it got cancled. I told them I don't think so, b/c I was on their site a few hours ago and all was good. I got someone to check for me, and the whole site said,
event cancled do to weather.

Talk about alot of pissed/dissapointed people!
Still found a place to go to and went mud ridding the next day, and I ended up breaking mine.... IF only they would of had it, everything would of been fine. It didn't even rain much that day either.
