so today was the day of the mountain mud festival. i got up early, and i ate, and got ready. i was up till like 12 last night working on the luv, so i was kinda tired. i went into town to get some gas, and i turned off my engine, and it wouldnt restart, so i had to wire in a switch to charge the battery instead of the wolatget regulator.

so i finally get up to mud fest at like, 11, and it wont hardly go anywhere. this is the first time i had it in the mud, adn it wouldnt go up little tiney hills. so i got pissed and parked it, but then i noticed that the hubs were free. so i locked them in, and i i just held my foot to the floor. i was doing way better than alot of rigs with 33, and i only have 27's. i was climbing al of these steep hills, adn i scared a couple of my friends, (they are some older ladies, not OLD, just older than me, like 30-40) one of them even has a lifted chevy pickup with 38 swampers and a BUILT 402 big block. adn she said she was amazed at were that thing went, and that she had her feet pressed to the floor adn holding on as tight as she could, and she was scared.

so we left at three, and i still wanted to go wheelin, so me adn my buddy, we went up on this mountain that is like a mile from our houses, and went in this deep mud hole. the first time i tried it, i got high centerd, and he had to pull me out, then i hit it to fast, adn the water was so deep it was in the cab, adn it died in the middle of the hole, adn wouldnt restart. so my buddy pulled me out, and i tried it againt, adn i made it. ahahahahhah. then i kept going beside it, and them popping down into it towards the end wereit wasnt as deep, because it was soupier beside it. then we went to a clat hill, and it was pretty steep, and we were screwing around on it, and then i made it up it in reverse.

today was a damn good day. damn good. all of these rigs with 44's were all breaking shit, and my little luv ran all day long, and then some.

Ive got an awd astro van that I took through a mud pit that was set up for a local jeep club round here. The van did better than some of those pansie ass jeeps. It was great just to see the look on some of their faces. However, I think I would rather rock crawl than go muddin again. To much crap to clean off. I was gettin mud from under the van for weeks. Sounds like you had a hella good time though. And thats what its all about, right?

i have 28" TSLs on my luv and its a tank. I can do crazy stuff and it looks awsome too Sounds like a good old time, mudding is alot of fun but i like trail running butter, it combines everything(mudding rock crawling and hill climbing, sometimes all at the same time)
