I had my friend with his 4x4 Z71 there to help me if I did in fact get stuck but I went through that goopy crap at about 3-5mph and not a problem.

Yea it was freakin awesome and I am glad to that the Chevy didn't get to pull me out. I looked under her though and there is about an inch or two thick of crap built up on almost everything. So guess what I'm gonna be doing today?

Oh man, what a mess. Too bad you ain't got a set of killer running boards to keep that muck off the sides of the truck. You might want to look into getting a set...

Eewwww! Dirty truck! Glad you had fun. Double ditto on the wash job. Don't even touch it until you've rinsed and rinsed. A power washer may be in order.

how much weight you got in that toolbox? Throw some sandbags back there next time you go out since you only got 2wd.

Yeah, like Hammer said, you might want to look at getting some new running boards that would run all the way do the truck....lol

I like that new 2tone paint job though
