Wharton State Forest drive this past Sunday was great. I have been wanted to test out the new suspension and tires for a month now and finally got out in the mud. :thumbs:
no one seemed to get any pictures of me pulling everyone out but there are some of me getting recovered...LOL BASTARDS!!!
I took my girlfriend and her 2 kids with 2 of my sons in my truck (threw in 3rd row seat) and we had a blast. We hit mud,
trails, a red clay pit 
and hills 
all in about 5 hours which was awesome.
So the tires and new Fabtech lift are AWESOME and i could not be happier with its performance. My rebuilt tranny is working great too...thank GOD!. Some of the trails were tighter then i would have likes but most will buff out :sigh:
We had 8 other trucks with us and we went through way more holes then anyone!!! There were even two F350 Diesels with 40's that i got to pull out..LOL they stopped trying the bad mud whole after that embarrassing moment. We know how sensitive FORD guys are about being towed out.:shame:
I am going to look into gears next because when I really needed some low power I had to lock it all down in low and then run it in first gear. If I left the trans in Auto as Ii was plowing through the mud holes it would shift into 2nd and i really did not have the torque needed to turn the tires at the speed needed so i could throw the mud and clean the tread. Tires are great but need to be turning to be cleaned out as with most.
In this last picture i was sitting on my pumpkins where someone with 44"s must have gotten stuck before. No water in the truck this week, thank god, i just dried it out a month ago... when I was still stock.
Now mud inside the truck, different story... :gaah: For some reason my Drivers side air temperature went on the fritz and i had heat and my girl had cool air no matter what we did with the drivers side temp knob. So we had to have the windows up, NO AIR and i had to have the Sunroof open which i know is never a good idea. Well the new tires sticking out 4-5" inches do look badass
with the big aggressive side tire look BUT holy **** does MessiaH2 make a mess when slingin' mud...:dance and I LOVE IT!!! Top of the truck was a mess with mud and tree parts but Needless to say I had some serious inside cleaning to do this time which was not just floor mats.
All in all a great day, family friends, cold beer, sun and nothing broken but a heater gadget... Thank s for checking out my post guys! :thumbs:
