looks like fun, gotta know where the limits are. now you know to slow it down a bit. fix her up and get back in the puddle.

ive done this once, where is screwed it up good. and had to use "student funds"

live and learn

 

I really paranoid about that happening to me. I might not ever take it mudding(then again, if I wanted to, I couldn't find hardly any mud here). I like going through the floodwaters, I really like trails too. People alway give me a funny look when I say that I'll just stick to the trail. But hey, this is my DD and I can't afford to pay for something that I break myself. Enough parts break on their own anyways. Then there's that thirst for upgrades..

 

I bought my truck so that I COULD play with it. Of course, I DO realize that 'playing' can get expensive, so, I take care on just how hard I play. I need to drive it home after all.

 

"Now I park the truck when the trail gets too skinny or the mud gets too deep and ride." thats what OUR trucks are for,not pussyfooting around on quads, if your truck cant make it , you dont need to go there, IMO

 

Nicely done. Looks like my 92 XJ I bought for $500. After that I got my dodge and havent stepped in mud since (about 2 months, we'll see how that goes). Sold the Jeep because of the electrical problems i'd have with it. Mudder/commuter DON'T mix.

 

Quite while you are head.

I stopped going off road in mine a little while ago because of a few bumps and a tree I hit. I blew all 4 ball joints exhaust tranny pan and oil pan in one night man. It was only like 2300 to get the truck back on the road.

 

Colorado, pop your distributor cap off and see if it's clean in there.
Make sure all your spark plug wires are clean inside the boots and snap them all back on.

Hammer, is that the jeep you have now that was swamped? That crap was pretty soupy.

 

Dude, come on, I'm not tryin to be a *** but how many trucks does it take to figure out if ya don't got the $$$$ to pay, don't play. I'm only 18 and Ive only put my truck in the mud once and I ant ever gunna do it again. The hubs on these trucks are very expensive and the mud and water always f*cks things up. That is a VERY nice truck and it would a shame to see that thing sitting for weeks just because you wanted to have fun or show off.

 

Looked like fun.
Now, I must say this now.
Don't take it TOO deep.
You might end up like the driver of the ZJ in Hammers picture there.

 

Ahhh I knew Id get some bashing in there. Im alright with it. I also am glad I got a little support But, I completely understand. Im probably not gonna get her too muddy any more. Im just gonna stick to the 4wd roads in the mountains. Id rather see the views instead of paying parts that shouldnt go out at the time...

BTW, my govener pressure sensor(or whatever it is) went out, thats why I lost power. The tranny went into limp mode. Im just glad it was a 250 dollar fix. Although I do need to replace my horn, and get my passenger window fixed(just falls if you try roll it down, but the motor and everything still works so I know there is a way to fix it instead buying a whole new 3-500 dollar part).
