Funny story. @John Cooper confided in me that was a photo shopped pic. He said Alabama mud ain’t even that color. It’s red.

Congrats John

Better call that gal that wheeled Stoney Lonesome with us. She wasn't scared of anything.........

Not so sure about that part.

She went to dinner with us and then disappeared, never to be seen again.

Somethin' must've got 'er skeered.

Oh wait, she was in a JK and it broke.

Never mind.

Congrats John!
Maybe those new Black Magic brakes will help you stop short of the water hazard next time?!

They just help you stop. They don't impart common sense, driver skill, or the ability to discern consequence for one's actions. He'll have to fetch up some Harry Potter level shit for that.

Congrats @John Cooper ... you got my lil' Hobbit vote buddy. That pic still makes me smile and that's what Jeeping is all about.
( I'd need a snorkel for a recovery like that )

I liked this picture as well it was a close tie for me. Something felt off with this one but I ran it through multiple photo testing sites to ease my investigative mind. So tell me this lol How the hell do you get that far into the mud and there is none on the hood, windshield, your shoes, pants nowhere? HHAHAHA every time I run in the mud (and not often I get that shit everywhere) I have it on my windshield, hood, roof, shoes, pants lol. I think I voted for the red Rubicon, yes I am swayed by sexxy red things.

Had Xmas bourbons with the buds and after a few we started using AI photo generators. Fist pic is the origin nal, everything after is AI. Obviously I'm the handsome devil with the fake redhead lol.

Tried to spill the beans on @John Cooper and photo shop. Now you have found the inconsistency in his photo

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...

That's not shopped.

That's just @tr21triton waiting for a prime opportunity to plant a duck on John's Jeep

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.
