Mudding season = seller's market?

Ok, so it'll be raining here within the next month or two. lol And all ready I've had 3 guys talk to me about my 84 xtra cab. They're all looking for 4x4 trucks to go mudding in! haha pretty funny. And they all wanted TOYOTA. I did too when I was on the market for one, they're some damn good trucks IMO.

Who else is ready for mudding season?!?!?!

Plus, who doesn't enjoy their truck in a nice shade of brown?

Ah man! I TOTALLY wanna go snow boggin'!!! (IF there is such a thing haha).

But, we're talking a 3 hour drive MINIMUM to find some snow here in Cali.

Here's the second-best my truck got last year. In less than 24 hours of new ownership, I got stuck up to the front grille! Woot!

Man, I was sorely dissapointed by the rain today. There was ton's of rain/hail at my house, I drive 20 min to my dirty spot, and it's 100% dry. I still had fun though.

snow boggin is the best. Tires aired dow to liek 4 psi you can run up on the top if you go real slow but get on the gas you sink right in. Had times where the snow i plowing ocver the hood. Heck everywhere to wheeling in washington is a couple feet of snow in the winter.

Seller's market.....makes sense. Who isn't looking for a good dependible vehicle for winter, and next year? I sure hope it doesn't rain too much this year. I don't like the rain, and it closes the 4X4 area over here if it rains too much. My 4Runner has a hard time with deep mud, esp with open diffs, and A/T's

Talking about Prarie City? I didn't know they closed that when it got muddy. The tank trap scares me, but I want to try it some day just for kicks.

Nah, I've never been to Prarie City. I hear good things, though. I'm talking about the Cow Mountain recreation area. It's on the border of Lake, and Mendocino County's.

That place looks like a lot of fun.

PC is cool, but it's main emphasis is on Cycles. There are a few areas for trucks to play on, but there aren't any huge expanses.

Plus, Latrobe road is really close. About 7 miles of dirt ranging from technical crawling to 50mph speed runs. But Latrobe is the lesser legal of the two.
