I seem to recall getting thru a lot of chewed up spots last year that
everyone else had trouble with...lol... in fact... many were annoyed because
we made it thru...lol... I'm pretty sure we would have been successful
again.... gotta admit... swampers are damn good tires. :-) But I think
Jason deserves a lot of credit for his many years of off road experience as
well. Not too many of us can admit to off roading since they were 8 years
old... and I mean driving off road :-) But most of that experience is in
Moab, Utah, not this clay mud in the east.

I believe our V6 did an equally good job and kept up with the V8's in every
way. I think I'll trust Jason's experience in off roading... and not push
him to speed thru stuff he believes is better to coast thru... and it did
work for him. I think it also depends on the tires that each individual
truck is using. His techniques seem to be working on the most part as I
don't recall getting stuck this year and only one stuck on a much more
aggressive trail than Jon's. Ours truck seems to like to grind thru at a
slower pace... and after all... she *IS* the boss :-)

Geez, how quickly you forget. I guess I better start getting used to you
guys picking on me all the time :-( But like I said before... we won't be
bothering anyone again with that.
