Everyone,

Ok this may sound funny, but I finished my SAS and I have been waiting 1 week to install the front drive shaft....

Today we finished it, but now the drive shaft I had built is too big LOL... Grr...

I just want to try it out hehe !!

Ditto.

I can't go anywhere just for a little bit, cause everything is too far away, and if I go there I have to plan it all out, and I'm lazy and just want to go somewhere close, but there is nowhere. It's kinda like a catch 22. I'd explain how, but it's 2:13 am, and I probably wouldn't make any sense.

Same here. Nothing down here but mud, and it gets old having to clean all that crap off. Just picture goo that gets into every single crevice of the undercarriage and turns into hard clay afterwards. 6 months after my last trip, I was still finding mud in places I overlooked before.

Don't get me wrong though, the actual trip itself was a blast.

just throw a sprinkler under your truck for a while, you'd be suprised how well that works.

For me, the truck is my daily driver, I have a minumum wage job, so I can't break something, cuz I really can't afford to fix it. I also don't have much time, and I have no experience except videogames (that doesn't really count though). I just want to go with some one else that is experienced so I can get pulled out if need be. And I still don't know my way around colorado, and the good trails are a few hours away.

Can't wait till the 7th though!

I love mudding but it is sometimes questionable if it was worth it after the time you spend cleaning. I have found that the easiest way to clean it is if you go mudding after a good rain storm, imagine that, it's muddy , and there are large puddles around town hit as many as possible fairly fast. I have a street near me that has tons of 3-4" deep long puddles for almost a day after raining. I will drive up and down the street hitting them (neighbors are probably like WTF) Afterwards everywhere my tires threw mud they throw the water. I ussually have very minimal cleaning to do, underneath at least.
