Did this a week back with Robert, I had a good time and only broke minimal things ( items I knew were on their last life) and fog light lenses and one wheel center cap. Anyways, in NY there really isn't any legal offroading terrain so there are some apparent rough seasonal roads, when combined with a rainy day made for some mudding fun and good views!

Looks like a great outing, and the rig looks happy with a little mud on her! ;-)

One thing I got real kick out off. The leaders of the group was telling us about this "hill" that you needed 4WLo over the CB because during the pre run so and so over headed his transmission going up it at 40 mph. Well needless say the "hill" that they were talking about did not require 4WLo. :lol:

That's because I have so few friends. I drive them away. :cry:
