Just out for a little romp....

I decided to get the truck a little muddy.... So I go out to a small puddle (50' long x maybe 10' wide and about a foot deep) This puddle gets deeper as the weather warms and we get the spring rains...
This is what the trail looked like.... Not too bad... Still has solid ground under the mud... The weather has been fairly cold here and we have gotten some snowstorms....



These are what I come back looking like...





At least the back stays fairly clean... I don't really want to have to wash the plexiglass too often....



Post on the tailgate and the reason behind it...

The front is usually pretty clean...



Also keep in mind that the AT's that I have on here are in no way agressive....

This little birdy wouldn't go away, I mean if I had my pellet gun I would have had dinner... I chased him for about 10 min on foot...

Now that is a muddy 4Runner. How many times did you go through it?

I got my 4runner muddy like that once, and I swear it is the last time I ever will. It's not much fun to clean, although getting it like that is.

from experience i would recomend using the road side pressure washers. i live in california and there are as many car pressure washer places as there are gas stations. anout 8-10 dollars give you just enough time to shoot it clean. that way you dont even muddy up your driveway. although some of you may not have this luxury as you may not live near one of these places. anyways looks good all muddy like that. i have been through some mud that turned into cement on the trip home. i had to use a rag to rub it out the washers would take it off i even used a puddy knife in areas to pry it off. i dont know why but it was likre glue adhesive. crazy eh? any of you guys hit mud like that???

the tractors thought they could keep me out..... i guess they didnt know dirt doesnt stop a toyota!!! that bank was anout 7 feet tall...the picture doesnt prove that but you can take my word for it

I usually use the pressure washer to clean it when it gets like this... I don't really like mud that much, because I hate to clean it, but you gotta do what you gotta do... It's even worse now... I'll post some picts after work...

Oh ya... I really don't worry about my driveway... After I had the sand delivered when I installed my pool, they dumped it on my driveway (was gravel, now mud)
