    haha ask the guys on that trip. That was my only run through the mud pit. the other trucks who went through multiple times..... over heating, broken thermostat, shit starter, ruined alternator. I think like 5 trucks had problems from it.

    I would go with you to pull you out when you get stuck, but I wont be off till 4. So maybe if your out there till later I might make it. With all the rain, it is just going to be a massive mud pit. Just make sure you look before you leap.

    I'd definitely be down to go later in the day. So if anyone is interested I'd love to go, but I don't wanna go by myself and get stuck and stranded

    You'd have to be trying pretty hard to get stranded at p-shitty on a saturday, just bring a strap and someone will be around to give you a tug.

    i might show up if i replace my ball joint by then, it'd be a nice way to kick off st. paddy's day.

    Getting ready to order my General Grabber AT2. (285/75R16) with the Downsouth Motorsports UCA. Would spacers be a good idea?

    Aftermarket rims? Stocks won't work with that size unless you get spacers or pizza cutters.

    You'll be fine with some bumper trimming and a cab mount chop if needed at full lock.

    Dean, didn't your dad have 285s on his with spacers? I remember someone had spacers on the Snow Wheeling run last year.

    I don't remember his tire size, and haven't had a chance to ask because I've been flying up and down the state. He sold his truck days ago though.

    I finally got a better job, so I'm working towards the Total Chaos 3.5" LT kit

    True. I guess I could see if Jerry would be willing to do it. But he's busy as hell, and has A LOT on his plate. I'd hate to bother him for something small like that

    There is always people there and you would never get stranded as there is cell coverage. Just bring a recovery strap as mentioned above. One time I went there and got high center on a dirt mound and had a guy push me off with his suburban. Dented my bumper but I learned to always be prepared.
