Uhm... soccer mom?
wow.... I could show them that a mini-van is a helluva lot more durable than a little toy car their parents purchased for them on their 16th birthday from a dealership. Older mini-vans are TOUGH.
Here here for the A4LD...:icon_rofl:

For at least the past 10 years a well aimed bird crap would make most of those around here implode.

I had a 79 dodge aspen ( 2nd car ) 225 slant super six auto, when I was in high school.
I would go through 2 feet of snow leaving the hot shot show offs in the parking lot with their claw tires and new 4x4 yota's. NEVER got stuck in mud or snow or ice in that car.
As is true for every vehicle their after car or truck.
Its not what you drive its how you drive it. You wouldn't and don't want to drive a purpose built wheeler as a daily driver. It would beat the snot out of you and really fubar the truck long term on pavement. Let'em talk smack driving their purpose built trucks to school every day. Then when you hear them in study hall complaining about the cost of new special order worn out parts due to road driving on a daily basis turn around and laugh your ass off while your driving away.
I see you have a 93 2.3 That is what I have now Back in School I had a 77 Aspen 225. Also back in school (and now) I tell people to go F&*% themself And od what I think is right.

finally got around to getting some video of the trail i wheel. it is nothing like you guys who have built rigs, this is just a dirt road in the country that gets muddy after a rain. i waited a few days before going out so there isnt much mud, just puddles, but it is bumpy as hell and will break stuff if it isnt tight or is junk. Let the bashing begin again.

no i didnt lose the brakes, the road has some massive ruts and there was a guy with a 4 wheeler parked on the side and a tractor in the field.

it was pretty thick on the 5th. we had a good 30 minute downpour and me and a buddy went out. i had the truck sideways in 4hi and almost slid into the fence and then almost off the bridge. you have to go through twice to get the truck real dirty. first to push the water out of the holes and again to get at the mud.

and froggy, yes it is:D

there is no such thing as real trails in northwest iowa and i am too poor to drive to where the trails are. i also feel like a bad father to leave my daughter at home with the girlfriend while i go wheel, so i guess im stuck with this for now.

Nothing will make your little girl happy like spending time with dad, and if you want her to share your interests. Get her out there, even on the bunny trail, lOL. You have a gift, id give my left nut to have my daughter with me to take out places. (Id give both of them and the wang actually)


Girls NEED their dads.

i feel like u may have taken that the wrong way i wasnt meaning to be a dick or anything im just saying that if ur enjoying doing that u would havea blast on an actual trail. and as for your daughters i grew up in the back of my dads truck. basicly every weekend we were 4 wheeling or working on the truck or somthing like that and thats how we bond. i think thats half the reason i love 4 wheeling so much because it reminds me of those days
