It is hilarious I go mudding and the s__t is everywhere. I hate cleaning it. Hours getting mud off then the next time it rains that crap comes back out of all the corners. He sits in 3 feet of mud and water and it looks fresh waxed hahahaha. I'm that guy.

Ha ha I didn't hit the hole, I eased into it. Every hole we went through that day had a solid rock bottom. Needless to say I was coerced into going through this pit and figured it had a rock bottom also. As you can see it didn't.

I prefer not to hit them hard , it makes such a mess . Honestly , I prefer to go around if it's an option . If not , that's what the winch is for . In my younger days I built mud trucks and really enjoyed getting them nasty . Now , I prefer not to have mud in every crevice it can find .

I'm absolutely shocked and appalled at the mere suggestion that @John Cooper would in any way, on any level be associated with doctored photographs anywhere, much less this forum. Some peoples kids...

Sounds like me.

Mud racing used to be the norm, then the popo thought that dropping a little mud on the road was a felony.

So we had an old pump truck to knock the big stuff off.

Next the self service car washes got all upset because we were washing our mud trucks in their car washes.

Then the popo got upset again if we drove to the race without washing the last races mud off, evidently old mud is harder than fresh mud........ who knew.

Ah the good old days.........

Said perfectly I hate getting them dirty.
