Took the entire Family to our local Mexican Food Joint Friday night to celebrate the weekend. This place makes some mighty powerful Margaritas and I was in the mood to drink so it was game on.

Afterwards we were riding around listening to the music and enjoying the great weather. While we were riding around the conversation shifted to The Truck and how it stays on the road. Then, out of the blue, my Wife says - "Just once I would like to see him use this truck for what it was built for." My first thought was - "Oh No She didn't!" Well she did it in front of my whole Family and the Margaritas were still working... So I had to defend myself.









I think I might get her to Call me out again next week for part 2.

A few more photos here.

Those few minutes of fun are equal to hours of cleaning. O well sometimes you just have to.

Been there done that. Luckily I've never had to use my own quarters. I'm usually pulling someone out so they pay for the wash and fuel and then unfortunatly I have to put the labor in it.

Thanks for the favorable comments. To answer a few questions -

I had to wash it. Bummer! I put my water sprinkler under it and let it do most of the work. Neighbors got a kick out of that.

Camera would not have worked because it was 10 o'clock at night. Nice thought though.

Funny story to go with this - there was one point we bogged down in the build-up from the dozers and had to switch the dash over to 4-Low. We worked our way back and forth out. Afterwards when we were driving home my neice mentioned how nice it was that I didn't have to get out and switch the hubs for 4-Wheel Drive. Then it hit me - I installed Warn hubs last year. I really wasn't in 4-Wheel drive just by switching the dash. LOL

Oh well.....

The Warn hubs are locking hubs to replace the automatic one's on your truck. They are virtually bullet proof.

The pair I have was given to me by a friend.

The install takes every bit of 30 minutes on each side. Real plug and play.
