Waimak mud pit

Post by daneo »

Bought a new set of tyres in the weekend, thought the mud pit would be the best spot to test them out!

pictures and videos, photobuckets cut them out if you save as they will be normal size

yep up past the motorbike tracks keep going up the road, T intersection at the end of it right is stock bank left is river access go river way and follow the tree line up you will find the play area, this mud/silt isn't great for your truck you wanna wash it off at the end of the day don't let it dry up (im lazy i just do a few river crossings and leave it :roll: ), can be a bitch to get off and likes to wear out joints :mrgreen: have fun

Yeah tell me about it. I have mud all up in the engine bay that won't go away. Luckily its not very thick so it isn't to much of a worry but its impossible to get off without having to wipe it now, and I'm to lazy for that :D. Cheers.
