That's true bill, but barnwell mud does not wash off easily. I am more concerned with my front suspension now. Nothing big, but I'll need to change out a tire rod end or ball joint. I have alot of noise coming from the drv. front tire. I won't be able to get it over to my shop until thursday though. As for cleaning it well I like showing up to work and parking next to a bmw or lexus just to make those owners nervous.

I know I'm not the only one that likes to do this.

Ah, man! I was going to say drop by my house and I'll show you my backyard wheeling area but I realized you gotta do the 500 mile break-in for the gears.:cry:

Hey Todd, I was wondering if you got any good action pics of me and the truck? My dad only got like 2 and they're not that great, so I just wanted to check since you were taking alot of pictures.

I wouldn't mind getting me a copy of the super high res ones. My wife has been wanting to make me a framed wheeling pic for a while and it looks like you might have gotten some good ones there chief.

Ouch, that mirror damage didn't look near as bad with the dirt on it.
Here's some pics from last year of the same place, you can tell how much more washed out it is now, as it looks like my mirror was above the lip:

yea, the gouges are down into plastic housing pretty deep. I'll have to break out the sand paper and bondo and fix that one day.

considering your mirrors aren't even folded in and mine were, I'd say it was washed out alot more this time around too. you guys were wise to steer around it.

I'll have more pics to post tomorrow. Kevin is giving me a CD with all the pics he and his pops took. I'll post them if I have time. otherwise it will be Sunday before I can. It's a pain to make the thumbnails for them all and then hardcode in the vB code to make them clickable to the full size, but it's cleaner looking. before YotaTech changed to this new version it was easier to post pics.
