Default BOGGS and BOULDERS!!

Took my dodge off road for the first time at Boggs and Boulders off road park in Alabama!
Was very impressed with my truck in stock form!
Im hooked and cant wait till this summer.
Looks like ive found yet another addictive hobby.

looks good. did you drive out of the mud hole in the 2nd pic or get stuck.

if you've never changed your diff fluilds, and/or don't know whether your axles seals allow in water or not, you should change them soon, just to prove that you don't have any water in there. mine were bad to let in water, and i'd have milky front diff oil after a water crossing.

check your tranny fluid as well. Unless you modified your vent tube before you took it there, you might have let mud into your tranny. Then that means instant rebuild.

Now that you are hooked, spend the time and cash to mud/water proof your truck by making the necessary changes to all places that can suck in air, because you do not want mud in there.

If you're stock on open diffs... you probably would have done better if you went in with both tires... It looks like the high side wheels have decent traction, so the tires in the puddle are going to spin = stuck.

Offroad stuff is fun... but I had to buy a "toy" truck so I don't screw myself by breaking my daily driver.

everything checked out good. that second pic makes it look worse than it really was.
the off road park was alot of fun. 850 acres of everything you could want to do. would really like to go back in the summer.
