Awesome story!
Bart - mud is the best wheeling!!! IMHO
Eric - Never stuck?Kids - how quickly they forget Shenandoah???
I was actually slinging a fair amount of GLUB when we left the campsite.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
If only everyone was as Johnny on the spot with there cameras, I feel like I was there! Here is the opening scene of the VX movie, basically sums us all up, here to help a fellow VXer, simply because we are all so freaking unique that our extension of ourselves, the VX, brings us together no matter what junk we get ourselves into.......
LOL, mud is fun when its not you in it! I think mudding is fun in a vehicle you don't care so much about, but in my VX, no sir, I don't like it!
I've actually started carrying my small point-and-shoot camera with me all the time, but in this case I had my good camera with me and I had about 30 minutes on my hands while I was stuck to just sit there and take photos. There were a bunch of wild horses roaming around the area at the time too, I snapped these two shots of a cute baby and another shot of the sun setting.
In this shot you can see the little canal I crossed. Stupid.

I can relate
I used to have a cool pic of my old Dodge stuck to the frame rails in muck ... with a 113 (Armored Personnel Carrier) pulling me out. Really nice shot but lost in the divorce.
I think you should return your wheels...they are defective. Those "teflons" are supposed to shed the mud!
Have fun getting all that mud out of everything...for the next couple months. I avoid the stuff now if possible.

Well, tonight I am going home, and removing each wheel one at a time to clean everything out. I will scrub my baby's underbelly if I have to. I will probably be at it for 3 hours. Hopefully not more than that, and yes, avoid mud I shall. As I said before, this was 100% a surprise. But thinking back, I guess it was a pretty stupid idea to begin with.
Bart
Oh yes !
Nothing is better to have your VX towed by one of yours
Better than one VX is two VX's together![]()
hey bart did you learn a lesson about mudding without other vehicles nearby to help????
would have been a bad time if clint wouldnt have answered his phone huh?
yea i wish i had some photo's, the other day i got my VX stuck about half way up the doors in some mud...took some bumpings and yanking by my sisters xterra....had to crawl out the window and on the roof to hook up the tow strap in back...
Well, that's the thing. This mud came outta left field! I totally didn't expect it. I mean, I knew it was wet, but a freakin bog?!?! Yes, if Clint didn't answer I would have had to call Ascinder and hope he wasn't working and then after that I would have been up the creek, almost literally!
