Default 20's + Mud + Torque = Bad!

Picked up a friend of mine last night and his road was under heavy construction. It was raining all day and night and it turned this now a dirt road into a deep muddy road.

Well as soon as I turned into this muddy street the truck wanted to go sideways. Also no matter how lite I tried to apply throtle the rears where breaking loose. Doesn't help that my truck isn't equiped with limited slip. They didn't have one on the lot that had this options. For only something like 200 bucks its worth getting.

My advice take the longer route and stay clear of the mud. I should of but I was running late. Also one of my friends said that if I would of made my truck a "real truck" (ie. lifted and jacked up tires) that I wouldn't of had this problem.


Off Topic
Went to a club last night and they had Jello wrestling. Check out My Photos soon for pics. The clean ones anyways.

actually, the jello wrestling was potentially on-topic ...

and there's a foam party tonight in columbus . too bad i don't have a digital camera ...

i love it how so many people automatically assume that big freaking tires and a lift automatically means your truck is just as capable as an m1a1...stick to your 20s, they look good and nobody without a locker would have done better . i see way too many body lifts and 33" mudders out here in dayton, and those guys still can't find traction worth a plug nickle when it gets slick out .

now...about the jello wrestling...?

Thumbs up 4WD

Coming back from Eastern WA New Years Day, it was snowing pretty good. I put the Sequoia in 4WD and had no problems even with the 20's.
Anyway, as Sean said, about that jello wrestling....

I'll post them up when I get home from work tonight. Just been busy with the holiday stuff.


4wd, yeah but then I'd get all the "why did you put 20's on a 4wd?" questions and looks. A lot of haters down here.
Besides I don't go around playin in the mud. Mines a show queen.

Only 20's? If I had a H2 24's would be the smallest I would get. But then again if I wanted somthing square I'd buy a shoe box.
And lets not forget who makes them. GM The same power window/ door locks switches used on a 1500 Sierra is also used on a 50k plus H2


On a positive note JELLO WRESTLING PICS ARE UP!
