Default Did my first offroading and mudding today, here is what I learned

95 6, 4 inch lift, 32.5 atv tires.



Nothing too deep. No water in the cab, but did get the air filter a little wet after inspection.




The 6x6 in our group was pretty amazing, but at the end of the day, got stuck and needed another 6x6 to get him out.




Location holopaw, fl.

1. Shocks. I need them badly.
2. Lights. The headlights got water in them. I need to come up with something for that.
3. Leaf springs. See my earlier post but these seem to be making a metal clapping noise or something is. This really disrupts the experience as the clapping sound is pretty constant.
4. Body creak. My truck has some dents on the drivers side, perhaps that is causing the creak I here in the cab that sounds like it's high and right at my drivers quarter panel.
5. Some engine vibration. I may not have noticed this before, but it seems like review in neutral is now creating a vibration. Perhaps a plug got wet.

Anyway. Pretty impressed on how it did. I didn't get to crazy. But Sandy rough terrain and some mud holes up to the cap and it did good.

Sounds like fun, but be carful if this is your only ride. Having a dd down because you were messing around with it and hit a hole that is much deeper than you thought is not fun, ask me how I know lol.
