Just to add my .02 the best part is take your truck up to the local handwash and ask for the 5 dollar wash. I got run out of a place for doing that. They did not find any humor in it. I was dead tried. I stuck my 88 pathfinder in the mud that was so soft and gooey. That the more we dug the lower the truck sank. I was stuck for a little over 14 hours with a couple of freinds and no phone truck or anything else to pull us out. We finally went up the street to wear a backhoe was and paid the guy 20 to pull me out. Needless to say he almost got stuck pulling me out.
HA HA Good times I miss my 4 x 4 but I am to imature to own one anymore.
Thanks

Well, lets see here, there were several trucks that almost over heated
(mine included) because the mud plugged up the radiators (btw, how in
the heck can you get them tiny pebbles stuck in the fins out short of a
needle??) Russ (xjruss) overheated on the way down the Grapevine and
right after that lost his alternator (some 200 miles from home). Those
had open air intakes got their K&N filters plugged up with mud to the
point of stalling, some wet distributors (hint, not the 4.7's, lol) and
as I just noticed on mine, (washed it today) I bashed the s--t out of my
custom Texas flag front plate (don't know how, I think it was that one
whoop that I took a bit too fast with Oertell trying to catch up with
the group, hehe!!) Does spending $20 at the coin-op wash just to get the
mud off the truck tell you anything?? Then my boss bitching at me
because I left some mud in the yard just from my radiator say something
also?? This Saturday is gonna to be Dak Day, until further notice. I
will probably never do that again, it was a little over my head,
literally!! It was fun though, when I came out of the hole, I floored
the thing and watched everyone scatter while I executed a perfect Dukes
slide, that was SWEEETT!!!
