Well, just got home from an eventful day in the mud ... ended up trying to get up a muddy incline and the Deuce slid left .. found myself not getting up, a tree behind me, and the truck kept on sliding ... took some damage as a result :( Will let the pics speak for themselves ...

Ouch, too bad about the breakage
Looks like it was fun though. I found myself in some serious mud last week, and was wishing I had more agressive tire (still have stock ones on). Mud and snow just push you around if you can't get any traction.

On the bright side....................it didn't destroy your new lights
Looked like a lot of fun though.......................How much to fix the see through thingy?

Thanks Karl .. Yep, we had a riot of a good time until that happened .. got some muddin' in, got some rock wheelin' done, 2-3 tripods but of course no camera there as my buddy was leading and they gave me back my camera lol!
I tell you what, the Mickey's are awesome but between the mud, the roots stickin' up and being slicker than snot .. the more I tried to chew through it the more I slid .. Just glad I didn't take that d@mn tree sideways, would've been ten times worse LOL! But in all honesty, even with the glass busting it was one hell of a good time. That park is awesome .. they have hundreds of miles of trails in various difficulty levels .. allow camping anywhere you can put up a tent or drag in a camper to .. I'm definitely going back there again as soon as my truck is somewhat water tight again LOL!

I haven't gotten those things mounted yet lol .. started but got tired of it lol ..
I have no clue what the window will cost me ... probably what, $400-$500 dollars? Doesn't really matter, I gotto have one so I might as well just suck it up and make someone pay for it for me LOL!

Did it nail your rear marker lights as well? Or are they just clear, it's hard to tell.

I called a guy I know that does glass..... he said $543.52 for new glass.... or he said most places can bill your insurance as a safety thing and not affect your premium....

Good point .. too bad there wasn't a hugger around that tree when I slid in to it .. would've been somewhat of a .. poetic justice ... LOL! And yep, I'm glad this is the only thing that got damaged .. Guess I'll have to order the Gobi rack and ladder now so I can cover up the !@#$!@#$!@#$!@#$ dent with the ladder LOL!!

Thanks for checkin .. I appreciate it! I got a $500 dollar deductible so whether I pay the glass or the dedcutible it won't make much of a difference .. and it's ten times easier to just hit the glass place I normally go to and they will do it while I wait or same day at worst. I've busted a front windshield in literally every car I've owned but one .. they've done me right every time :-)
Ohh well, time to hit Full Tilt Poker and find me a fish to pay for my glass .. lol ..

I would say I was waiting for that one but my buddy who pulled me out said that same damn thing when the glass popped lol!

Actually, we kept on wheeling for a while longer .. had no choice because we were so deep in the park .. did a couple of good rock trails on the way out, I'm surprised I didn't have a tie rod to go with that glass LOL!
I'm off every other Friday too JD, so if you can make that I'm game!!!

$443 bucks through safelite autoglass ... It's going to the glass shop in the morning and I should have it back sometime early afternoon they said .. hell, they even gave me a discount .. I wonder if it's cuz it's the 5th time they are putting glass in for me LOL! I've had some BAD luck with rocks hittin' my windshield in the past :(

Shiot.....!.
I guess I will have to quit whining about my cracked windshield now.
Just remember, Hummers have SCARS, not dents....Show yours proudly.
BTW: After reading your comments on the MT's I have to ask, would you now consider some Swampers?
I was in a very similar predicament a few weeks ago (topping a flood control levy with trees on both sides) and the
only thing that got me up and over in a straight line were those TrXus MT's...They wouldn't stop biting. I was the
only one of 5 trucks that did not have any problems. One was on MT's and the rest were on Goodyear MT's or
knock offs........
At any rate, glad you had fun and thanks for sharing your exploits....It's always good to see what other peoples sand boxes look like.
