I took my 04 Renegade to Haspin Acres after a terrential downpour today. I would say it was a great success! It definantly exceeded my expectations. I won't be going again anytime soon though. I want to keep it nice. Just had to break it in. I'll post more pics after it's all clean tomorrow.

Wait! Now you need to find gray mud and some red mud for a tri-tone effect! |

With that kind of "donuts" you got under the Rene you better play safe for the moment until you get what he take to push a bit futher and found out how far the limit is!  PS: I didn't find out yet myself! Last testing was in 3 feets of snow and my Cooper Discoverer M+S have only 60% of tread life to go... |

Yeah the tires were terrible in that gunk. It was raining cats and dogs for about 3 hours before I went. Had a lot of fun and found out what the Renegade could handle though. Cleaning it yesterday sucked. Had to scrape pounds of mud from every crack and crevice on it. Few more rains and car washes and it should be back to normal. I was actually pretty careful out there with it. Impressed by it's performance. I didn't receive a warm welcome from the others out there though. Probably wont be doing that again anytime soon. |

Just because you dont own a "real" Jeep! In this case never go alone find another "Mall" 4X4 owner to go playing in mud with you and carry a recovery kit (snatch strap...) or install a winch and carry a shovel , a high lift jack, a ground anchor kit, winch extension,.....G...I know now why I prefer playing in snow or rocky trail

What's a "mall 4x4" owner? |

Any 4x4 owner without a SFA (Solid front axel) or a frame like a Jeep CJ, YJ, TJ or JK!  I wish I was just kidding you but in reality manny of them consider the KJ and KK to be a soccer mom mall Jeep! I have to admit they perform better with less modification then our rig in trail but every time I tow my camping trailer and get 19mpg (City/Hw) I know they never do that without spending more then 10K in a Diesel swap

That's what I thought. Yeah well my soccer mom jeep is way more bad@$$ than most stock Wranglers so...  I can see where that sterotype comes from though.
