muddin' chickened out.....

Well, I was gonna go under the bridge today to tear up some mud......

Wimped out!

Actually it was self preservation, path down to the trails has some really
deep ruts with no room to go around. It's about a 45 degee hill, I'm sure I would have made it down but I'm so dang sure I'd have been stuck down there.

Man, I was bummed, there are really no places to go around here unless
your rig is 3' off the ground.

Just need a little sympathy, thats all.
It's all about me

Chicken. Sorry had to say it. Probably the smart choice even though I know you wanted to. Usually a good decision if you are on your own.

Ah, hell... I didn't even have mudders on mine when I got lost off-pavement out in the woods... all I know is when the running water sound got too close, it was time to figure out how to get the @#$% outta there and figure out where I was supposed to be meeting up at the camp! LOL

And, actually, during the same trip I followed a Jeep that had 33s on it... mind you, I had 235/75R-15 junky all-terrains on mine at the time and got a little hampered once. You just gotta find your line and drive it sometimes

shoot, I live in such a fast paced world, I have to worry about having that thing ready to drop the kids off, get to work, pick the kids up.....

Scared of tearin' it up.

I need a second one just for the fun stuff
There's one at a car lot down the road been sittin' there for a long time.....

hmmm, would my wife's face peel off if I bought that.

Her face? I think you should be more worried about what she might do to you if you buy it without letting her know first or talking about it!

Mine is a daily driver as well, and it's been beat around a little, and it has held up pretty well. I understand, though... if you break something major, you're S.O.L. What you need is something else (like a 4-dr car...) for the daily driver and then you won't have to worry about tearing up your BII so much

Yeah, I know Kernel. But I know where he lives, and I work with him, so, I may just go get it back. It's a 1984 4wd, 5 speed, 2.8 V-6 and has some rust. I'll let ya know what I decide to do.
