Hey guys, Its been raining for last couple days here in Kansas and I was on my way home from work on a dirt road when a car came from the other direction so i pulled over to the side so the lady could pass. I was in two wheel drive at this point. I started to go and the truck starts to slide down into the ditch, so i kick into 4Hi and try to slowly go back to the center, no luck down i went....they just dug out the ditch and rounded the road for drainage so its pretty much a one lane dirt road....So i get some speed going and its not wanting to drive out of the ditch so i back up and try again and mind you i just got the truck(2004 New body Screw FX4) a couple of months ago it has stock almost bald tires on it so that concerned me and with the fact i have never really mudded before this in my life...Needless to say i floored it and finally it pulled out after about 50 ft of sliding around. So there is my little story...i know its not to exciting and i'll post some pics tom...nothing really impressive.

I do have plans on putting a lift on either 4" Rancho or 6" fabtech with 35's and this might make me get them a little sooner....

 

Not to impressive, but it was still fun

 

good thing you bought the 4 wheel drive

 

looks like fun
lol I do that plenty here too, old back roads and some ol lady comes flyin down the road and hogs the middle of the road and the only place to go is the ditch....good times

 

Yup... done that many of times!! the worst is when you move over.. let them by... then end up stuck right where you pulled off. That too has happened to me a couple times. Aww... gotta love it tho! Thanks for sharin Dstang! Looks like ya had some fun! now its time for some nobby tires!!!

 

X2!!!!

 

Yea i ordered my AS 2.5" level kit yesterday so when that comes in i'll go ahead and put 35" KM2's on.....i can't wait till that happens my buddy from work has shown me some awesome roads to go down....right now its snowing and we're suposed to get 5-7" so i'm going to do some wheeling tom....i'll try and get as many pics as i can....

 

KM2's are gonna be sweet man!! definatly get some pics, I miss aknsas soooo bad, makes me home sick just seein that one picture, as stupid as it sounds!!

 

Gotta love that Arkansas Mud

 

off road warrior

 

wasn't 7" but we did get enough to play in....

 

well some good and bad news.....I had 2 flats today sucked so bad because i was planning on ordering 35's, i just ordered my AS spacer but i needed tires today ......so i had to buy some stock size tires (needed all 4 stock tires were BALD)....my options were very limited but i did end up getting some decent tires. I picked up Mickey Thompson ATZ and for the price the perform pretty good. I'm getting ready to go and and play in some mud and snow. Just sucks that i had to buy them when i wanted 35's....maybe i'll just start doing some other mods (exhaust and intake..etc) and save up for my 6" lift

 

does suck about the tires, but good choice in tire, I have heard nothing but good things about them. The snow must be nice, we were supposed to get
6"-9" between late last night and midnight tonight and it has done nothing but rain, really sucks

 

The tires performed awesome!!!! Through the snow and on ice they are really good. Here are some picks of the snow and mud we went through today some of the drifts were like 3.5' deep...These are some farm roads that alot of people go wheeling down its right outside the town of clearwater, ks...can't wait for summer!!!

 

Here is a mud whole that i ended up going around.....I'll wait for my lift to go through this one...
