A cocky FORD (Found On Road Dead) owner decided to try to show off after seeing our AVs on display in Lake Havasu.
He attempted to drive through the same mud hole as Zuler.... Twice!
Failed on both attempts and had to be towed out by Rikrotorhead's AVALANCHE!
Needless to say... it was quite entertaining! ;D

Here's a video clip.... about 1.5 minutes and 2.5 MB

Not once but twice!!
 
In all due honesty, I think I would rather get buried up to my doors and get pulled out by a ford than hydro-locking my engine and getting towed to the mechanic. >:D
 
OMG ?:eek: ?how much nyQuil do u have to be on to attempt mudding a 2nd time ???? ?:rolleyes: ?:E:

great video though... just curious... was that a 1/2 or 3/4 ton? ?i thought half but wanted to be sure...
 
I didn't look to see if it was a 1/2 or 3/4 ton sorry.

Budman, I would have to agree with you about damaging my engine instead of getting pulled out by a Ford. The picking on a Ford is just good clean fun. I actually drive a Ford Focus every day to work. The Av is Cindy's during the week.

I know it's all in fun.  Looks like everyone had a good time.
 
Ya' know.... When I pulled him out it didn't strain my AV at all, even the second time I pulled him out. I told him next time it's $100 for the tug.

Note to self:

Plug the hole I cut in the bottom of my airbox BEFORE mud bogging!

CAUTION: This flooded his engine. If you did this mod, don't drive in deep water.
