Went for a spin today, lets just say I was up shit creek, (quite literally with the smell of this mud) But I have for 31 inch paddles to get me through it.

Things got scary at this point, can it go any further over?

Just a little more, a little out of my comfort zone to say the least

RAAAAARRRRRR

You must be talking about the reflection picture, I only have a sliding door on the left like everyone else.

yeah, that big muddy pool of ruts is about as ecologically sound as an oil tanker fire.

Bruce taught me well. Although I had done that same spot with him and didn't into nearly as much trouble with that lean.

But I got out, pressure washed a bunch of mud out of places I scraped up.

Its too bad that whole thing is just a man made dyke, it means the mud isn't really like mud, it doesn't stick as well.

I agree with Kuan, it's not fair to randomly drive through protected mud puddles without first doing an complete environmental assessment.

Adam, what could you possibly be thinking :?: :?:

Oh by the way - great rig :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

looks good... and like a lot of fun! I had a bit of mud the last 2 days myself, but not nearly as much as you, and I forgot my camera :(
you've got a sliding door on both sides! i didn't know delicas came that way.
Although that particular Delica doesn't have the dual sliding doors, they DO actually come that way... pretty much every one of the left hand drive ones I've seen pictures of have the dual sliding doors, mainly Delicas that were built for the European rather than Japanese markets, I'd love to have the dual sliding doors, but those units don't tend to have all the "toys" associated with the Japanese vehicles...

thanks guys...

Guess I'm just not the $17 000 luxury deli type. I'll spend the 9 grand I saved on repairs and lifts.

Pretty pathetic huh :oops: :oops: :oops:

I heard yours is spotless. I have enough trouble keeping myself clean, let alone a ride I have out in the rain and mud all the time. Can't wait to see yours at the meet, I'll bring some wetnaps.

You'll be the one laughing when I have mine spray bombed black because it was rusting too much...
