Southern Illinois Mud Bog

Took my '90 to a mud bog in my area, a lot of different rigs. It was a great time and I'll add more pics as I get them uploaded.

Thanks for the compliments! No broken parts and lockers go a long way in the mud...there were a lot of BIG rigs just hammering it through the mud and I was pretty much creeping through it. A few blown radiators and various mufflers and air dams were lost yesterday.

The bog takes place every 5-6 months in Brighton, Illinois at a private residence. It's at least a 4 hour drive for someone near Chi Town...have you heard of the Badlands in northern Indiana or The Cliffs in Marseille, Illinois?

I'll start a thread when a date is set for the next bog. If we can get enough Toyota trucks there, I can snap a lot of pics and maybe get an article in 4WDTO.

The Tundra did great for being stock except mud tires. Never stuck. A lift would've helped out a lot, if you look close his rear bumper was bent up some.

They were pretty good about getting the stucks out fast with the tractor. There is another one available if the first one gets stuck. A lot of straps and winches there so no problems.
