Mine was bad like that between 64-78 MPH...when I got back to Abilene I got all the dried mud out of the wheels and it helped some..I will take it out in the morning to see if the dried mud would have done that

I hope yours isn't serious...

 

ranma21 called me and let me know that he was having the same problem ... his was solved by airing up the tires to spec. i just finished washing my truck off a few minutes ago ... took about 2 hours to try and get all the mud out of holes and things, and there is still a bunch of grass hanging out from being stuffed in the rear differential. i aired up my tires to 32psi (not 54) and haven't gotten to try them out yet ... but i think it'll probably help some. i don't know about you, but i had tons of dried mud making the caliper and wheel clunky. i'll let you know if airing them back up helps at all ... i'm not too worried. i'm just glad my truck is right-side up still. i'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow, needs to be aligned for sure.

i hope yours gets steadier ... i'm glad you got back home safely.

 

designs was playing in the water.

 

Those pictures are awesome. I didn't see those. I almost got pictures of you tipping over. I missed it though. I didn't say you were fine. I'm sure Brandon was telling you you were fine. I was scared sh**less for you. Here's the pic I got. It doesn't really show the crazy angle you were at. Wanna go back out so I can get that pic?

 

I think my face was like :O

and no, I don't think I'll be trying that hole again any time soon. Yeah, Brandon was telling me I was fine, I was freaking out and getting ready to bail out my window and go swimming! heh. seriously, I was about to say "go go go, let's get out of this sinking death trap!"

then Zach suggested I get some propellers and rotors ...

that part (with me in the hole) felt awful ... I really thought we were going over, but Brandon said it felt worse than it was ... was it really that bad?!

 

I really really really really really thought you were going over. I only wish I had a picture to show you. I could kill him for making you go that way. I've been close to tipping over, but not that close. All of us outside your truck were REALLY REALLY scared. Don't do that again!

 

oh, man, that's so scary. i don't plan on doing that again, don't worry.

you have no idea how scary it was to sit in there waiting for you guys to tug me out ... hehe, and then when Brandon got out ... i felt it move some more. 't was scary, to say the least, and even right now, safe on my couch, i can feel that tipping again.

 

dang, I wish I were in Texas. I'd love to wheel with ya'll. My truck still hasn't seen any mud.(I'd kinda like to keep it that way though) Glad that you didn't flip though 4Route.

 

i'm glad i didn't flip too!

after that, i didn't even care about the trail pin-striping going all down my truck! i was just glad i kept the water out, and didn't tip. phew.

how far away is atlanta?

 

how far away is atlanta?

I'd say that it is about 16 or 18 hours away. But that's just my best guess. I really don't know.

 

I think the mud was holding her up

 

who saw me when it happened the second time?? (but that time i didn't have to be tugged) hehe.

 

I didn't see the second time. But that one I did see. Wow. Crazy. Just crazy!

 

you almost went over a second time? I only saw the one in the great mud lake

 

yeah ... i almost went over on the way to the exit. ranma21 was behind me and told me he thought i was going to flip again. i just have no luck on mud cliffs!

 

I'm loving these photos, keep em coming.
Nice water crossing designs!

 

i love the photos too ... i don't have many though.

i can't communicate how impressed i was by all the 4runners with us ... every single one of them. and most of all, i really enjoyed meeting all of you guys finally!

next time, Designs, i'll make my own map though.

 

here are some photos of ranma21 stuck and freed:





then, going fast through the mud lake:





and here is the only pic i have of me when i'm stuck, maybe shows the angle a bit?:

 

and snoozer, popping it:

 

sounds like good fun was had by all! i will bet you just have some muck stuck inside your wheels and that is causing the shaking.
