Went for a ride with some buddies of mine yesterday. There were 8 of us in 2 Jeeps.

First stuck of the day. My buddies Wrangler framed out after sliding off some ruts..

Image

So I helped pull him out while 2 of the guys helped lift and push a bit...
Image
Image

The second stuck was a little more intense, I slid off some ruts and into a nasty deep mud hole...

Image
Image
Image

Told you it was deep, covered up my tailpipe..
Image

After I got pulled out my wheels were a bit dirty...
Image
Image

Back at school for a little look over...

aweosme pics!!! that looks like some real nasty mud. i had a stuck EXACTLY like that couple weeks ago, i was doing a u-turn full locked to the left, going slow too, and my jeep slid right into a puddle like that, but mine was water with mud bottom as yours is nasty sloppy mud lol. the right side had water at the bottom of the door, right above the rocker. i think if i opened my passnger doors water might have came in, but i looked after and nothing came in thank god lol

how do you like that mopar roof basket? im thinking of getting one. i have no clue how much they cost though, i see em anywhere from 250-350

No mud or water of any kind got in the KJ thankfully, I was really happy and shocked that none did considering the length of time it sat there waiting to get pulled out as my friend turned around to get into position to yank me out

Love it, holds everything I need and is durable as heck. I guess I could only wish that it sat deeper (closer to the actual roof of the KJ) instead of sitting up so high along the roof rails. But o well, it works fine so far for what I need.

Was that down in the bottoms off Covington Pike? That's some nasty mud. I hate that stuff. It sucks you in and then grabs hold.

Hey 2006KJSPORT4x4,

Finally some action shots! Great pics, and I love the rack setup you got going there. Getting ready for MOAB!

Funny how your friend(s) go mudding in flip flops, khaki shorts, and a dress shirt. I wouldn't be in that gunk in nice clothes.
