My Jeep ZJ hitting the mud pit

It's not diesel related, but it's still a cool pic.

A professional photographer snapped a pic of me hitting the mud pit in my Jeep at a local off-road park this past weekend:

Now I've just got to get it all cleaned up!

You'll be finding that mud in places you never expected, for the life of the truck... Like in the recesses of the bumper and wheel wells, and under the batteries when you replace them, etc, etc...

My first offroad truck was a shiny new 1983 S10 4WD. Very light and nimble, I learned to eventually go anywhere there were tracks from a previous adventurer, and this was in Arizona. Nearly wore a hole in the factory skidplates sliding that truck up and down mountain roads made by Caterpillars to put up high tension electrical towers out across the desert. We'd strap a come-along to the front hooks and pull it up the stuff the truck wouldn't climb. I used to have a picture somewhere with it off the ground, and about 2' of air under all four wheels...may it rest in peices...the truck was fairly well thrashed when I sold it at 80K to a stripper from the Alaskan Bush Company... Another story for another day...
