silver makes it look cleaner, but we got stuck in some deep as ****, there was mud 3 quarters the way up the tires on the right side and i think we bottomed out when we were stuck.

ya, im going to get the longer shakles to raise the back up 2 inchesand im going to crank the torsion bars to lift the front 2 inches. im probably going with 32s so they dont rub like a 33 would.

i just dont like the style of wheels that are on it, but i really dont want to spend a lot of money on some nice wheels.

i think the tires are the main reason we got stuck, them little things couldnt do ****, but it was fun as hell

hey, it was my first time, its not like i took it to some damn swamps, but i guess if you seen it in person you would think different, because it looks a lot cleaner in the pics, i had to clean some of it off so i could see out the windows.

you guys are no fun

Looks like fun! Is it 4wd? We do quite a bit of muddin' at the deer lease, oftentimes, more than actual hunting.

Drunken offroading is fun when you don't have to get on any public roads.

the bottom pic is how my durango was when it got stuck, it is 4wd, but she just spun all 4 tires, the tires are tiny as hell and they didnt help at all.

just so u know im going thru that in 2wd, look at the spray from the rear tires, those are 33x12.50 Mall terrains*BFG All Terrains* They suck in the mud, the only reason 2wd was good enough is because of my locker. But im selling it so i can get an LS1

i know, i dont care if you guys think it was weak, just gives me motivation to put some bigger tires and a little lift and have some more fun with it.

i know its no mud bogger, but it was fun to me for my first time.
