Thank you S14DB, for the link...That website is awsome!

So here we go.... First I will start off with some pictures from my first mudding experience w/ the 240 (this is with 255/70/15's in the rear and 235/60/15's in the front, with a DamnedButDetermined 3" suspension lift)

This is the result of a semi deep water hole that i got stuck in and was extremely close to sucking up water into my engine!

Don't ask me what i am doing in this picture??????????Cause I have no idea!

Well after the first trip I realized that i needed to make a few changes to the car. So I removed the front bumper and both front 1/4 panels, because the stock bumper was acting like shovel and it kept digging me into the mud and water. I replaced the fornt bumper with a Heavy Duty DamnedButDetermined Front Skid-Plate, made of metal framing studs, truck bed linner, A toyota sequoia skidplate, and a whole shitload of self tapping screws. I also solved my problems with water, by fabricating a snorkel that starts at the MAFS and comes out the radiator support area under the headlight, curves back around the 1/4 panle mounting surface and up the windshield and is secured to the roof on the car. I also broke down and bought 29" x 9.5 x 15" Super Swamper TSL's for the rear and left the previous tires up front. So here are some of the action shots.

As seen earlier...30mph w/ all four wheels off the ground

Then four seconds later I hit the huge mud hole I was talking about

This is what happens when a S13 takes on six feet deep of mud

Now it is time to see how she does underwater...I made it through everything you see in the pictures below

These are some pictures of a construction zone near my house...

WOOOOPS!
