Well, me not so much, but my truck...


Oh yah. I took a trip up north this weekend with the sole intent of putting my Hardbody through a little beating. I think she did ok.

First off, a little mud. Its been super dry up north, so this was the best I could find, but it got the job done.

Image

Through her in 4wd, and plowed through like butter.

Image

Then we wandered off into the woods to set up some new deer stands.

Image

And back to the road, (Noah rode in the bed, apparently it was bumpy.

Image

Then I found a hill to park on.

Image

Image

Then the creek. It was a lot deeped than in looks.

Image

In just a few feet, it dropped to about waste deep.

Image

Image

On the was through, the exit angle was so steep that I buried the hitch all the way up to the bumper. It carved a nice little trough.

Image

All it all, I had fun, and the truck took a beating, and kept going. Not bad for being 24 years old. I also plowed straight through the woods, climbed a sandhill, and hauled a bunch of deer stands. Not a bad weekend

Agreed :bigthumb:

Looks like the snow has finally left and things are starting to "green up" for you.

I didnt really want a v6. To crowded in the bay, and it gets poor enough gas mileage as is.

Yep, Max chased us through the woods for a good few hours. He was good and tuckered out by the time we got back.

true, but my god are the 4 bangers DOGS.

my buddy had a KA powered 4x4...great looking truck, but jesus it barely drags it's a** around.

I think his dad got it for 500 bucks because the guy couldn't get it running

(his dad was a Nissan Master Mechanic for quite a few years, got it running in 20 minutes after messing with the ignition system)
