I really hated to beat on the daily driver to much but I could not take the non wheeling anymore. Went to Tuttle Creek in Kansas on Saturday. Here's a few pics of the weak midwest wheeling. It rained a TON Friday night that made the hills 10 times harder than they should have been. A few rocks alot of mud and a nice 75 degree day.

The XJ has a 4.5 Rusty's lift with 32X10.5's flexes pretty good for a DD. After that trip I need to change the oil for the first time!!

Good Job!! A 4wd is meant to get off road and have some fun - new or not.

Pictures bring back memories - I went to KU in Lawrence and went out to "Tuttle's Puddle" many times during those 4 years. I had a '68 FJ40 back then - not near as modified as my current FJ, but that was over 10 years ago.

Happy trails and keep the shiney side up!!

For being in Kansas that place is pretty dang fun. I need to get out there again sometime. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> My family all lives out in Kansas so someday here soon I will need to plan a trip.

BTW I dared my buddy to go through that area where that sub is (At least think it is) and he got sorta stuck. He was able to go, just not enough... LOL

I will have to post pics, but his site won't let me do it. I got em saved at home though.

You can't post pics but you can post the link. I cheated and found where they were before you edited your message. They are there. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> Looks like about the same place except the water is way up right now. Not much room to play.

Well I found them else where. I will just post the link to his page about it. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

It looks like the water is higher. I was told by a native that it rises and falls all the time. When we went there it was lower, however he said it was more sloppy muddy.

looks like you had a blast! I'm gonna have to run down there once I get my truck done.
