I drove to the store and back home. Just washed her and now theres no mud or nothing. Gotta big old corn field out back with some ****ty 2 tracks behind that but I've been driving that **** since I was a kid so thats boring. Thinking of climbing some hills or something just for the hell of it...and dont worry, Crazy4x4RT, my friend... I wont forget my camera.

Today I hauled 15 bags of 80lbs cement bags. A total of 1,200LBS! And the truck felt like as if nothing was there. The rear didn't even sink that much, still higher then the front!! The suspension was SOOO smooth with that weight! Tomorrow I get to have the fun of offloading it all!
