Went wheeling for the first time today

Just got back from wheeling at a place 20 minutes from my house. All went well, I went with a freind that drives a Dodge Ram 1500 on 37's. He got stuck at one deep spot(water was above the tires) and we had to get a guy that was wheeling there to pull him out, the Runner didnt have enough power. All in all I was surprised with how well my stock Runner did with street tires, I never got stuck once.

I dont have many action shots, just some after pics, which I will add later tonight.

One problem I had was that the windsheild now has a buch of little scratches. I think I may have screwed up by turning the wipers on when the had mud/rocks on it. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

looks like he was in 4wd, but power was only sent to the front left tire, as well as only the back right, both, with the least traction.

I'd definately loose the street tires if you're gonna play in the mud. I got my one freebie in. I'll never know how I got out of that mud pit (prolly just luck), but I never once climbed back in while I still had crappy Dunlops.

Looks like GA plates, where were you?

I was at a freinds house up by Bethany road, he has a lot of property up there.

I am planning on getting AT's or MT's once the current tires wear out (10k miles or so left on them) I am just debating on lifting and getting 285's or keeping 265/75's
