View Full Version : DX grunt produces his first bow wave

Mud isn't my thing, but I thought I'd give it a go.

My springs dug into the mud and I got recovered from the rear hitch.

Went via the resale route in the next puddle, and found myself producing a bow wave, just over bonnet level.

That's the first time my truck has ever played submarines and I had a ball. Wish I had a passenger to remember the Kodak moment. lol.

Now to spend the next 3 days cleaning off the smelly mud. hahaha :furious:

Take care out there.

Don't laugh too hard. I was the first of 3 that got bogged there. The only reason my truck got stuck was that the 8 leaf springs in the back end, dug into the mud. It didn't help that 16 vehicles had gone through the same patch of mud BEFORE me!!!!! Bluddy troll drivers with muddies, cut up the solid ground that I would have breezed through. lol

I'm not a fan of wet, sloppy, smelly mud, either. lol

My saving grace for the day was when I produced my Stihl Farm Boss chainsaw. It went a long way to helping move the big tree. The day trip would have almost certainly turned into an overnighter, with 20 trolls in convoy, with no where to go and no where to do a U turn.

With the 3 of us getting bogged, it separated the group for a while, but at least our group was all GU's and one Jeep (from another Club) lol

So let me get this straight: your convoy got split into two groups....1 being the Q's leading the way as usual and the second group being GUs and a jeep left behind and struggling.....

Lmao!!

Exactly.

In my defence, there were about 16 fully loaded trolls that went thru before me. I must remember not to carry so much stuff,
then my plastic U tastic would have floated thru - with a bit of a run up. PML

Nah, you must remember to floor it and be first in line!

OI, you. Do you have the technology to 'borrow' a photo or two from the trip report on the Western Patrol Club website?

It will show DX grunt, stuck in smelly mud, with yours truly hanging onto a snatch strap. The airing up photo will show my truck with snatch strap still attached to the back end.

I had a ball, but the mud didn't do my white Dunlop Volley's any justice. PML

It's over to you, Doggy. lol

Edit: The puddle to the right of where Joe went through and gave his truck an exhaust bubble bath,
was almost as deep as the 'resale route' and is where I got my bonnet bow wave from. lol

It was half a gutter full of fast flowing water and the only way out of the carpark was straight through it!!!

Some people can just be so cruel. PML.

It was me, I did get my truck 'wet and dirty' and I'm over it. PML. At least I didn't swamp the inside of it - that I know of. I'll wait for the first hot day. lol

Haven't started to spend the 3 required days to clean my truck. I'm believing the rain will do most of the hard work, or at least keep the mud damp, until I get time to clean it. lol

So you could take some pics of it with mud still on to strengthen your case, or is it mud in a can that's been sprayed on? :-)

I don't need dry mud to hold my truck together - like your GQ. You've obviously forgotten it's a plastic fantastic. PML

It's on the snatch strap. Look harder. lol
