On the way to the Motley Crue concert... I found MUD!!!

What y'all think?





Took $40.00 to get it cleaned...

This is my truck as of today... 2.5" level kit installed.

 

This is my former 73 Bronco. Was farily tricked out...

302 replaced with a HOT 351W
3 speed replaced with a HOT C4 w/ B&M Mega Shifter
Stock 9" replaced with a BB 9" and HEAVY DUTY brakes...
D44 Front got HUGE Power Disk Brakes from Duffs...
Also got some power steering complements from donor rolled 76 rig I picked up CHEAP.

 

The only mud I can find around here has a great big fence around it. I'm also fairly sure that I would never, ever make it out. It is more of a pond about 18" deep (I cimbed over the fence) About 30' long. I took my waders the next time and sank up to my hips by the time I was five feet out. I couldn't go much further, cause I was by myself and I was afraid I'd get into a situation and need help getting out. I figure if I sank to my hips, a truck is gonna cut some mean ruts... with its bumper.
I did some checking, thinking that if it dries up a little, it could be a lot of fun, and the land belongs to PNM. So much for that.

By the way, nice rig. Do you still have it?

 

Sweet, New truck broken in properly.

 

I presume you asking about BIG RED?

Unfortunately.. NO... I had to sell her... Was at a point where I really needed some cash and needed to stop spending sooo much on that rig. I had nearly $18K invested in it. That's $8K for the rig + haul it back from Portland OR. Then, $10K in mechanics to make it run right. Sold it for $8K.

At the same time I had that rig, I also had a white 96 FSB on 4" lift and 33" tars. 4.56 gears and a detroit in the rear. Was a nice rig but, didn't cut it as a daily driver. So, I wanted to sell this Bronco and keep BIG RED. But, BIG RED sold much quicker then the 96 did.

I'm newly divorced in Mar 08. I'm currently an apartment dweller. Once I get another casa of my own.. I will build another EB.

 

Grunt!!! How goes it, man??? Sorry to hear about the divorce. Been through that once myself - sucks. Hope to see you floating around the EB forums soon!!

 

Whats going on Devin.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll start hanging out there. I may start looking for an EB to buy soon. If not, it'll be a one off full custom job.

Sweet, man. Look forward to talking with you again!

 

Hey Eddie. Nice seeing you on here. I was just over your way by Bldg 836 this AM. Can't believe you take that beast in mud. My tow rig stays on ashpalt as much as it can. How was the concert?

 

I play in the mud with my King Ranch everytime I get!!

 

I'm not gonna avoid mud if it's in my way. Usually don't go out lookin for it. But, I had to see what the ol' girl could do. Needless to say, I'm not disappointed... LOL!!!
