Do people EVER consider NOT going down into that mess? (4x4)
I have a "what was I thinking" story. In 1998 I bought a first year Durango 4x4 SLT Plus. It was beautiful. Chili Pepper Red, leather, 3 row seating, factory oversized tires. Man, it was the ****.
Had it a few weeks and decided to take the wife and kids "4-wheeling" in central Arkansas... where it's flat. So, we go to an Army Base wooded area where they practice driving APC's and tanks. I come to a three-way fork. The left and right had deep mud holes, the middle, not so deep so off I go.
All 4700 pounds of that thing sunk to the frame! Yikes!! After thinking about it for awhile, I had the kids gather up all the limbs they could find. Thankfully, I got the traction I needed to get it out. Needless to say, my new wife was not liking my 4-wheeling.
This coming from a guy who built and used two 4x4 daily drivers before that. I was just trying to show off for my new wife.:BangHead:
