Next time your home and I'm available, we'll squirt some silicone in them. Let it sit for a few days before you start it.

Holidays kinda suck when you haven't spent any of them with people you care about in the last five years. I'm feeling better now, though. Talked to family and friends on the phone for a few hours the other night, and that cheered me up.
The lights on the truck help, too. It gives me something to focus on, and it makes people smile and laugh. Frankly I don't care if they're laughing with me or at me, cause I made their day better either way

Right on man... I understand that. The holidays around here haven't been as jovial as usual. I haven't spent Christmas with my parents in the past couple of years... which I'm pretty used to seeing as they live in KY and I'm in FL... but this thanksgiving, we found out my father in law has stage 4 cancer, so it's kinda hard for my wife to get in the christmas mood... but she's doing well all things considered

glad to hear you're cheering up though man

Well my89xj convinced me to take out the 'Manche today. No real trails; just some puddle jumping on mountain roads. When we were done, I traded my 3ft Firestik for his 2ft. I think I also blew out my muffler. The Jeep was running nice and toasty, plus the backfiring exhaust, and then I plunged her into ice water

So were we lol. He sent me a text to back him up so he could try a pit, and we ended up cruising a little bit. I shouldn't have wasted the gas since that laptop drained my bank account, but it was fun

That's in about 6" of sloppy mud with a foot of water over it and a frozen surface. Oh, and he's on passenger tires. At the end was a muddy 60° incline to get out, and he wouldn't listen to me when I told him to floor it
Manche didn't go through that one cause of the depth and because I didn't have a chance to get tempted. We left without success because a cop was patrolling, but he got out backward under his own power, and Barney never got stuck.

So he failed to pass the obstacle and you were just scared.
