TW Guard Dogs in slimy mud, darn near stuck on flat ground.

Had a little rain shower here on the job site where we are building a levy out of almost 100% clay. Well I'm the survey guy and using my own rig since we are short on vehicles. Well it got so slick that I was almost stuck on flat ground! These tires are amazing in the rocks but with a full time locker in the rear and this owl poop mud I was going about 30 on the speedo and doing less than 10 probably on the grpund! I promise if I get stuck or have to get out and lock the front locker in I'll take pictures.

Almost wish I had all terrains and open diffs!

Not siped and about 32lbs of pressure, I go from dirt to highway several times a day. This stuff is put down in 9 inch thick sections (loose) and then compacted down to 6 inches over an area about 30ft by 900ft. It's hard as heck and a little water makes it slick.
