Nahh .. you just need to stop fighting the inevitable here and get modding hehehehe ... if nothing else though .. you're obviously one to leave the pavement and seek out the mudroad less travelled ... so wouldn't it make SOME sense to make provisions for that?!! :-)  I won't hit the trails without a winch or a buddy with me .. (I have no winch yet so go figured lol) ... call me a sissy (shuddup Mike, go play with the rocks lol) but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it .... Now .. of course if you do any night wheeling ... now you need some lights for it .. and if you go all out light wise .. well, time to get a bigger alty ... you can't mount the lights without a brush guard .. well you could but it would look silly ... and roof lights without a rack to mount them on or to accent them with .. that's just a crime in itself .. see .... I've even sat here and made cases for you ... tsk tsk tsk LOL! 

On a side note ... we'll have to hassle ya for our next badlands trip .. assuming we can actually get another one going here ... LOL!


Well.... I told myself that my days of getting carried away like this:



are long gone...  I'm more of any easy trail guy these days.... That being said, I did hit the muddy stuff on Sunday but it was in a fairly small ORV park with LOTS of other vehicles, so I figured if I got stuck the worst thing would be a bruised ego! LOL! 

BUT... that being said I will definitely invest in some off-roading accessories.... 

I also learned a LONG TIME ago the value of off-road lights at night!  We seen some "seaonal roads" Friday night on our little road trip... I was very tempted to check them out... but I wasn't going to do it with just headlight, especially since I didn't know the area...

Thanks!

Well... it was a very very hard decision... but in fact I let the Mustang go and got the H3 instead...  The Mustang was definitely a "Me Only" toy where as the H3 will now involve the whole family!!!  

The Mistress was a fun car and i'll miss here.. 317RWHP/309RWTQ, 12.85 @ 107MPH... not bad for a little V6... LOL

Ok... i thought that car in your sig looked familar!!!   So, yes, I was there at Norwalk!  I was there with the 4.0 Collective... Here's were I broke the news:

http://www.mustangcollective.com/showthread.php?t=11206

Well... I realize i could have gotten more money if I had sold it out right... but to be honest I wanted to be done with the car and just have it gone with no hassle... because I knew if I sold it to someone they would come back to ask all kinds of stuff, etc... sure enough today I get a call from the dealership... they sold the car and the buy wanted to call and ask me questions... I explained to them the reason for trading in the car so I wouldn't have to deal with the buyers after the sale... he apologized for bothering me and said good bye... LOL!

interesting choice.  i tried to trade in a lightly modded car a few years back, and the dealership tried taking me through the ringers..so i just kept it.  can i ask how the mods impacted the trade value?

Yeah, i was suprised the dealership would even talk to me about trading in my car...   I did have one dealership really try to low-ball me (jeep dealer) but the Hummer dealer gave me a fair price all  (all things considered) and got GMS pricing on the H3... I did lose $$$ on all my mods, but I'm am very very happy with the out come!  My 3 year olds favorite book to read before bed time... THE H3 BROCHURE!!!
