Hello,I'm not in northern Mi but I do most of my mudbogging up there.Have you ever been to The Skyliner lounge in buckley? They have been holding mudboggs there for a couple years.

Do you do any offroading?mudbogging? Welcome to FTE

Cool, I will inform you about the runs for next year when I get the new schedule. There is a possibility that skyliner wont have them anymore due to poor spectator turnout, caused by inadequate advertising not because of a bad show. Did you know about the two that were held there this year?

You will first need to decide if this truck will still be driven on the road,If you go crazy modifying it the drivability can be comprimised.

There is a factory stock class though.Your truck should do fine and this would be the cheapest route.If you run the factory stock class you will want some good tires,and a heavy right foot.

I have been to the mesick run before,I may go next year depending on if the truck is ready.Mother's day weekend is pretty early in the season for me usually.

Have you looked at my gallery? Click on the little pic next to my name and it will take you right to it.

yeah some great shots. This stock class your talking about sounds good. I'd still like to drive it in the winter since my daily driver is an 89 F150 2by so i might need some extra grip. plus i need it for deer hunting tommarrow's the day. taking school off and everything.If you go to mesick we'll keep in touch and maybe i can meet you there and hang out.. see what its like as a day in the pits. THat run is usually tough although that guy with the jeep made all the way through last year and won it.

happy hunting
