Went wheelin today!

Me and a friend went to the Badlands in Indiana, I have a picture of a confederate flag that some hick had on their trailer home about a block away, but can't upload it for some reason.

I was amazed at how well my stocker did today.

My friend's XJ 3" Skyjacker Lift and 30" BFT A/T's




That's ME! Little Flex, but the tire was stuffed....pretty sad, but still stock.

We were running short on time, and the mud was far away so we had to settle with dirty water. This is my friend





ME


We learned not to forget a shackle or pin for the hitch the hard way. So leaf shackles it was, and got him pulled out.

We talked to them and they had a lot of rain the last few days. The creek on the green trail wasn't deep, where we were running through the water in the gravel i went through the entire thing with no problem on my stock suspension. the very worst was where he got stuck, and i went around it.

Yea I wish I had more pictures. THere was a really old ford pickup from Texas that somehow wedged itself sideways in the creek between two trees, it was hilarious because the guys front leaf shackle was stuck in the tree itself. My camera died halfway through the day though. I Have a picture of me coming up over a hill that's on my friends phone, i'll try to get it up tomorow. We also saw some idiot on an atv almost kill himself doing a wheelie down a sand dune.

I got stuck like that too last weekend...but my passenger side was more underwater and I took in about 2-3 inches of water in the passenger foot wells. Its all dried out now but it still stinks. I too forgot my hitch connector and had to pull it out by the shackles...good pics tho
