A little mud on the tires...
Here in rural Nebraska most of the roads around where I live are gravel with a few here and there being just plain dirt. With the remnants of the Great Blizzard of '07 melting away those which are just plain dirt get FUN!
Road through the fields

What a great view!

Got a little sticky

This turned out to be a good tire size test. With two inches of mud on them I now see that I can easily fit 33's!

And a little posing...

I used to like mud. And then I learned about something we call Caliche out here. It's a nasty clay that when hardened is like rock. It's miserable to wash off. I quit going into the mud. But, hey, it looks like you had fun!

Well the new pressure washer I bought a couple days ago works quite well. Now she's clean as a whistle. Only problem with that is I can now see all the rust over my rear tires... I can't wait till it's warm out again so I can break out the bondo!

edit: i dont know what kind of mud you guys have to work with, but we also have some cement-type mud. once it dries, it's on there for a while. allow me to borrow a picture from another forum i use:

the best way i've found is to keep spraying water on it for a day or two before you go in to do any serious removal. by then its moist enough to come off as clay and not as mud-rock

mud is always fun! but for the 10 minutes of fun in the mud is hours of cleanup and wrenching and lubing :| but hell, its worth it.

I've got my work cut out for me tryin' ta do a finer plastering than that. I'll be givin' it my best shot, count on it. People who've never done that, have know idea of how heavy that stuff is. Feels like you got a load of wood in the back or somethin'.Nebraska mud looks mighty tasty.
