Hehehehehehe Spoken like a true 2wd truck owner...
For the record - I never bitch about the self inflected damage to my
truck. May I quote a paragraph from the Sept 03 issue of Peterson's
4-Wheel + Offroad...

"We tend to be a bit abusive to it [Dodge Ram], and three engines, seven
trannies, and four rear axles later, this truck was in need..."
"...But do not feel bad for our 86,000 mile Dodge. It has been loved
dearly and will be rebuilt again and again, no matter how badly we break it"

This is the core of the Zen Wheeling Philosophy. Its a way of life. No
matter how badly or how many times I wreck Christine in the process of
wheeling... I'll always rebuild her... driving the truck into the lake
at 3 am was a very stupid accident... one I will do my absolute best to
avoid in future mud runs. It was a turning point in my life. Do I hang
up my muddy Dodge hat and give it up? Or come back stronger, better,
AND wiser, than before? heheh You know the answer to that.
The sticker on the back of Dakota's truck says it all...
Drive 'em wild!
