How about an OFF road story!

[crash93ssei]

Started off the day on Sunday with a BBQ and some family & friends over. We decided to go play in the mud pit out back and these are the results.....

I am in the four door S10
Dan is in the two door S10
Justin is in the Tahoe

Here is some pics after the first bit of playing, before Justin showed up.






Justin showed up



Pics after the second round





The mud pits






Looks like a party!

NOW, about that sad ending.

I didn't get any pics but we all ended up getting stuck and had to call for some help. A Jeep showed up with a winch to help us out and got Justin out no problem. I was not so easy though. I had to help the winch along and in doing so ended up basically blowing up the engine in my Blazer. I guess the SBC didn't like wide open throttle in four low for five minutes It now makes all kinds of good noises and I think has a rod knock along with a bent pushrod and maybe other goodies as well ! It still runs and drives, but I don't trust it anymore then about two miles down the road. Guess it is time to build up my other 350 that is sitting in my shed

How long does it usually take to make the truck look like this again?

Because I don't have a pressure washer, it takes about 3 - 4 hours to get it looking like that again

Fun time either way though

Just a heads up, if the DNR gets a hold of pictures of you in an area they deem as wetlands(example:picture of cattails), they can fine you up to $5000 and confiscate your vehicle. And no, it does not matter if you are on private property or not. I would pull the pic of the cattails down. The DNR is active on 4x4 sites looking for pitures and video like this to raise money for the state budget. I know of 4 people who have gotten a fine and read about another who had his $8K jeep confiscated by the state.....and they auction it off. Looks like fun, just thought I'd give you a heads up. Check out Greatlakes4x4.com some time, it's largely MI based.

Thanks for the heads up, I think it will be fine though as we weren't playing in the cattails.

I am actually a member of greatlakes4x4, but usually don't go there because it is just to dang big. Most of the time I am on wegotmud.com instead, mostly Michigan members there also.

Looks like a lot of fun.

I used to do that when I was 20 but got tired of spending 4 hours to clean up after an hour of fun.
It will take you longer to clean up that engine.

Dirty....dirty....dirty.
