yep no rocks here, just thick bottomless mud.

i recall numerous times crawling straight out the window to ground.

i saw one hole claim 3 vehicles one night. my buddy and i and his wife were playing around one afternoon and went through this hole, first time we went through it a lil fast and barely got through, this time he decided to eaze through it. well we cut off, we literally had to stand on the door sill and get to the roof as water was coming in. water was 1" below the window.

3 different vehicles tried to pull us out, in the end it took one truck hooked to us, the other truck hooked to them and the other truck hooked to them while winching from a tree. We finally got free only to have 2 of the guys who were pulling us out decided to go through it. first one got stuck, winched him out, the other blew his motor halfway through.

nearly 13 hours of being stuck.



Still working on trying to get the rims...should know more by about lunch time

Yep, time for a rebuild. Listen you bought the truck for $250 you can't expect not to put a little money in her.

X2 what the other guys said. Rebuild her!

I know it sucks big time, but it definitely is worth it after youre done and you have a

brand new motor.

Tear her apart, start little by little, and label everything. It sure helped me. lol

Goodluck!

sell my ski and completely build it up for serious mud boggin. (wife doesnt want me to sell the ski)

or part it out and start with something else....
