    I agree with PMK, his wife, & Fink. Finks truck is ideal for this, In some of the vids it looks like he is floating on the mud.

    TacoTues, you had a good time also. NICE!

    Maybe next time you can get together with us!
    :D

    I bought mine used at a Dodge dealership. It was an unexpected purchase. I personally recommend going to a Toyota Dealership instead.

    TacoTues,

    2 weeks ago someone told me that the deeper you go into the place the rougher it gets. Yesterday, one of my customers saw the pics from WPB & he said that there are many 2WD friendly trails now because we are in the dry season. He said that the northern most trail is rough & it's mostly for ATV's but most of everything else is cool.

    I am seriously considering going out there soon & I would like to go with atleast one more truck but no one in Miami seems to want to get together. I will say this about 8 st. There are A LOT of trails there. Even when I went in I had to use my phones GPS & I went there in my 2WD during the second most wet season in Miami so there is plenty to drive through.

    I guess if no one goes with me I'll just go it alone :(

    ANY VOLUNTEERS?

    Yeah! I know what you mean. I like it when the guy standing by the Excursion yells at the driver saying that he'll break the G-- D--- window if he doesn't open it. Also, when Dan pulls Jerome out... That was COOL!
