Had the urge today.... Element was dirty and I was on my way to the carwash, figured since It was on its way to be cleaned I should get it more dirty. Went to a construction site. drove on some really muddy dirt road that turned into a really muddy pit. It was a blast. I drove forward until It wouldn't go any further, then had to try to back it out. Had to rock it some, but I got it back out. I was very impressed. It deff was something that a 2wd could not do. Yea I went to the point that it wouldn't go any further, due to ground clearance, but It was nice to see the limit. I was impressed with how far I could take it, and more impressed with how easy it was to get it out of a harry situation. when I got back to paved road the element was COVERED in mud. No pics, sorry. Went to the laser wash and had it cleaned.


It really did impress me.

woa sounds awsome!

how deep was the mud? Ive gone 4x4ing and ive gone through about 4 In of mudd. well it hit the mudd pit at like 10 mph so i had a running start so i made it through it ok but still thats great to hear! :)

It got to be deeper then 7" when I could go no further forward. Hard to say though exactly. I imagine we could have gone further with some momentem, but I wasn't sure if the mud was 2" or 20" and It looked worse the further we went. I'm no 4x4 pro or anything. I just wanted to see how the 4wd reacted, and what my truck could/could not do.

I would have taken pics.... but the wife didn't know I was goin before I went to the carwash and if I grabed the digicam there would have been questions...which would have led to 'I wish you wouldn't' which then jinx's me and i'd have gotten stuck and needed a tow truck which leads to 'I told you so' . :D

It's nice to know that my 4WD will step up if I need it.





And I'm surprised people aren't yelling at you for going to the carwash ;)

Don't give out your phone number! If word gets around (and it does) there could be a lot of angry wives/girlfriends calling you with some choice comments as a result of your spilling one of the prime "guy" defenses! :twisted:

because its brushless, and it takes 5 mins, and it was cold out.

Man, I love you. THat is just an awsome point. Thats just like me and poker. I used to tell my wife I was going to play poker, and she would reply, why? youre just going to lose money... sure enough, I lost. Now, I just tell her Im going out, and I seem to do a whole lot better at my game. :D

Off topic, I know but these last few posts brought an old joke to mind:

A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day, their passions overcame them and they took off for her house, where they made passionate love all afternoon. Exhausted from the wild sex, they fell asleep, awakening around 8 p.m.


As the man threw on his clothes, he told his secretary to take his shoes outside and rub them through the grass and dirt. Mystified, she nonetheless complied. He slipped into his shoes and drove home.


"Where have you been?" demanded his wife when he entered the house.


"Darling, I can't lie to you. I've been having an affair with my secretary and we've been having sex all afternoon. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until eight o'clock."


The wife glanced down at his shoes and said, "You lying swine! You've been playing golf!".
