it's been sooo long since i've driven in real mud that i don't think i could have survived that trip. looked like fun.

may your undercariage & radiator become clean someday (after you beat it off on a bone-jarring trail)

Hey Guys, sorry its taken me so long to get my pics up. Sunday when I got home I tore in to my battery situation, and at about 10:30 after replacing both terminals and the battery I finally got it done. But my pics are up here:

Ikes Backbone Pics

Here are a couple of my fav's.









Shouldn't have zoomed in soo much!

Awesome pics Mike!! Scorpions and stickbugs rule! That was the first time I've seen a scorpion out while camping. At least it wasnt in our shoes or anything (keep your shoes in your tent in AZ!!). eek

The verde river valley pics turned out great.. That was some great scenery up there. I only wish we could find a way to the end of the backbone, as I bet you the view from there would be 10x better than what we saw.

LOL.. I see you got a pic of Desert Wizz'r in action, marking my truck. haha

Cool pics Mike!

I tried washing the truck off in the rain last night until the lightning freaked out DL to the point I had to come back home. That red stuff doesn't come off too easy! My driveway is about 2" deep in slop right now.

Oh well, that should still take a few bucks off my high pressure wash bill.

Yeah, i just hosed my truck off in the driveway.. it took about 4 hours to hose it off then wash away the inch or so of mud on the driveway.. that red mud stains anything it touches too!

I didn't have any "mud" on my truck...Only CLAY and CEMENT! My undercarrage was so caked it took a while to spray off my torsion mounts etc so I could work on it and I ended up chiseling the rest off with a screw driver.... roll eyes

John, do you have these pics saved in higher resolution? I'm looking for new wallpaper on my work PC, and I have a HUGE 21" monitor here.

Let me know.
