Default Some fun in the mud!! *pics*

So my brother and I decided to go mud searching after the rain calmed down after Hurrican ALEX plowed Mexico. Good thing we didnt get hit straight on by the storm, but we got a lot of mud making rain!

This is the flood way spot.


Time to get dirty
My 98 Yukon 4x4 on 33" Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's






My brothers F-250 4" Skyjacker lift on 35" Toyo M/T's



Results... Dirty




Tires performed very well, there was a spot where I thought I was stuck. But rocked the yukon back and forth a bit, and she was able to crawl out. Have a tow strap just incase
Enjoy the pics, i enjoyed the mud!

200k is just broke in on a Vortec 350.

We have a 96 burb with 300,000 , orig. engine.

And a 99 Burb with 260 k .

Both Run excellent. Maintainence is key.
