You have no idea how pumped I am -- I really, really, really want to try
the Mud Pit with my Dak.. Do people usually bring their normal
every-day drivers for some offroading? I'm wondering if it's a good
idea. If I'm stuck in Forestville, I'm sure I would never hear the end
of it from my wife... Then again, I'm trying to talk her into going too....
Hopefully by that time I'll have some of the modifications I've wanted
to make done, as well as repairing the front passenger side axle --
apparently I've only got 3wheel drive at the moment :)
About the plugs -- is using teflon tape a viable alternative to
antiseize compound? Just asking because I know I have teflon tape around...
Another question... In the pics of the 2k3 BBQ, I noticed that Mike has
straps going from his front and rear bumpers going somewhere -- What's
the purpose of this? In case he gets stuck?
Dreaming of mud pits,
Dirty Pete
