Put the winch and tow strap to good use. This 1st gen is sporting a fresh 4wd conversion. He did great, gaining lots of experience with only having 2wd to start with.

The parts truck ran cool all day :madgrin:

That's good. Have you noticed if you have been loosing anymore coolant? If so then I blame the radiator core because all your tubing and connections looked fine. If you haven't drained it and refilled it with one type of fluid then I would just to be sure. The pink shit isn't nearly as thick as the green shit.

You really couldn't get up Daniel? I figured those MTR's would be solid in the mud. It doesn't look like you aired down a whole lot either.

We should put together a thread titled "Adventures of the Glamorous Parts Truck and the Golden Turd".

Lolz. I was aired down to 10 psi. The fill dirt is just slick as shit. I could have tried more speed but I didn't wanna slide sideways and create a bad situation. Winching was the best option IMO.

As for the coolant I have not lost any more yet. I'm just gonna leave it for now because I only have one more trip planned for this beast and it's only a half day run
 
Dang me an a buddy almost headed out to uhwarrie last saturday could have ran into ya lol. We were gonna head out after installing some cabinets at my house but it got late before we finished. Nice pics
