Day 2...it rained again

so i spent the morning and afternoon replacing my cv axle shaft on the driver side and fixing 2 broken lug studs form the previous owner having them drilled on too tight. then it rained and the buddy that came to help brought his 4wd Suzuki Samurai. so we went out and had some fun. in the first 5 minutes we found someone who had driven their quad into a crevice (more or less). after realizing the trucks weren't pulling it out (this thing was darn near vertical, and nose down in between some 7 foot "sand rocks"), we decided to just get in there and pick it up. sorry i didnt get any pics of the fun. but i did get some of my truck, dirty again... lol.

Great View


there's a rainbow back there, the camera flash made it look dark


there's the sami aka Sèamus



HAHAHA!


Sky after a storm




Went to my new favorite mud puddle after that. its on the side of a frequently used road, i wonder what people were saying about us. (HATERS!!!) lol
here's is the aftermath





thanks for lookin!

Oh yeah mine has been too. It's almost done though. I just got done putting yj leaf springs under mine and they're pretty awesome. Even though mines mostly for mud, it can flex like crazy now. I remember thinking how awesome mine did when it was smaller in mud. Even if you stop moving you can usually rock your way out forwards and backwards.
