I'm very impressed!!

Well, I just got in from a long morning of trail riding. School's out so 3 of us decided we'd go celebrate and go ridin by a lake outside of town. All I can say is WOW. We rode around in the marsh, crossed some dry river beds the used to feed the lake and rode through the shallower parts of the lake. One truck was an old 80s model chevy on 35s, the other was an 04 lifted Tacoma on 33 BFG MTs and I had my stock jeep. Well by 10:00 this mornin the chevy was stuck and I had to pull my friend's tacoma out twice. It took a front end loader to get the chevy out. Both of these guys were runnin mud grips and my TJ on the stock Goodyears showed them both up. This mornin showed me that it's not how "bad ***" you think your rig is, it's all about how you drive it. I'll try and get some pics if they turned out. Just so this post is "on topic", I have a bunch of mud caked on to the inside of my wheels and I noticed that around 55 mph my Jeep starts to shimmy. Do yall think once I get all of the mud off of the wheels, I will have any problems with alignment or anything?

its probably ok...you want to get that mud out of your wheels and brakes immediately....you should do it at the first place possible when you get off the trail....find a wash bay with a pressure washer

also make sure your trackbar isn't loose or other suspensions components

Just got finished rinsing everything down with my pressure washer. Trackbars look fine, the brakes and inner wheels are clean so everything is fine. Now I just have the dreaded task of scrubbing the soft top.
