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.
Rossco
Nice job rossco
Just think with a 2" lift there'd be less to clean off now and ya probably wouldna got stuck the first time ;-)

And Ross was the first one to get stuck so I have heard, I so wish that I was there the recover you mate, with The Q, still got your name on a snatch strap...lol
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. lolQuote:

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!!
Tap, crackle, pop

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

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!!!Quote:

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? :-)
Tapp tillya Crap
I don't need dry mud to hold my truck together - like your GQ. You've obviously forgotten it's a plastic fantastic. PMLQuote:

Exactly. That's what I wanted to say, but didn't have the heart to. PMLQuote:
