Talking Awesome Pics Guys

wow! the mud looks good... the pics made me .... um, well, u know.

I love my 03 F150, it's a v6-4.2 so I don't do much heavy duty mudding. I just drive out in the forests here.

Keep it up

Great movie but at the end there was an Army jeep who had a bunch of jacked-up and H2 type trucks lined up.

"We're gonna get mud in places you didn't know you had"

He leads them off road and presumably into mud.

The H2 with spinners tip-toes into the dirt....

I busted out laughing...it was so true.

No one else got it.

I love my Lariat but dang it....she's gonna earn her keep by entertaining me.

mud...mud...hmmm, after getting stuck two times, I won't play in it anymore. Too much work in cleaning the truck for a few hours of fun. Anyway, trying to think about things to do with the truck..gas is expensive..

After my last off-road trip I actually found new areas of my truck that had caked mud...I didn't know mud could get there but sure enough....

Sweet pics. Remember to always wash your truck before you park it in your driveway or it will end up looking like this

Thumbs down Ford Called!!! They want their truck back

I have a Company truck, I can destroy it in any fashion I see fit, if necessary.
BUT I WOULD NOT EVEN TREAT A COMPANY TRUCK LIKE THAT, let alone a $30K vehicle that I have to pay for. We have mud in AZ if it ever rains, and the first thing Kids want to do is take their 4X4's out and see who can cover their trucks with the most mud. Help me out here, is it a red badge of courage thing to drive around for a week cooking the mud, rocks, and whatever else into your paint. When my truck goes off road, I stop at the first quarter carwash to rinse the undercarriage out. I know what the grit does to bearings and surfaces that rub against each other.

most of the pictures were taken right after, like I said, 3 days to clean it
But I love to see people's faces when they see a $30000+ truck covered with mud, it is hilarious

I wash my truck as soon as possible. I see others who do it for attention and I just laugh at their blatant "look at me" gestures. I guess when you see an expensive truck it's pretty neat to look at, but other than that I just laugh...

I need to get my 4wd fixed

Partially yea...it might be a part of me being an attention ***** (when my truck is like that) but I love to pull in my Lariat next to a jacked up truck that only see dirt in their front yard and see the reaction.

I really can only leave it on for a day or so because then I get an itchin to see the sun reflecting off of the hood again. The undercarriage usually gets washed out on the way home as I cross it through a creek.


(BTW...I wax it before I go to protect the paint)

and besides...if we didn't wait until we get home how would we get all these great pics

My truck never stays muddy for over a day. I have waxed it 6 times in 3 months. I also clean the undercarriage so well it damn near shines. I go mudding to have fun not to drive around with a mud covered truck to make people think that I am a hardass. The way I look at it is that I have four wheel drive so I might as well enjoy it.

Agree, a four-wheels drive is made to go out. Back in AZ, as soon as I bought my nissan, it was out on rugged trails. Now same thing with the ford. They are made to be used. I find sad that some people get them all lifted and never use them for what they are made for.
