Offroading with friends on 10/7

[John Johnstone]

Long time no post here. But, I haven't been doing much with my Sport Trac lately.

But last weekend I took her out again for some offroad fun with some friends near Bastrop, TX.

Our friend Doug, who is in the US Army, was out to pickup his Explorer 4x4 from Jeff in Bastrop. Jeff had installed a new transfer case into Doug's Explorer while he was away on duty in Afghanistan.

But in about a month Doug will have duty in Iraq. So it was nice to spend sometime with him and my other friends and to go wheeling.



Here's some pictures from the day:

Awesome!

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

What's a little playing in the mud amongst friends anyway?

 

[Martin]

I'd freak if I got my ST that dirty

Now that is just too flippin' sweet. If I could only bear the thought of scratching and beating on my Trac...Purposely even...



Not to mention the $ for the suspension.

I do miss driving off-road. There are so many cool places to see here, but the Mazda just won't work on trails.

 

[Matt Bruno]

Soooooo awesome! Thats a good use of a TRUCK!

 

[Gary DiPietroSr]

Great videos, I posted one for some Ford Truck World guys to see. BTW, tell your servicemen buddies, thanks for for protecting our country. They don't get enough of that.

 

[Jerry Johnson]

Now thats some serious stuff! Cool

 

[Woppy V]

Great videos! I kept catchin myself sayin 'Go Baby Go!'

 

[John Johnstone]

Thanks all. It's always fun seeing what I can do with the truck, and hanging out with my friends. The offroad Explorer people I have met over the years have been great. And yes, I thanked Doug for his service to our country. I hope all goes well for him in Iraq.
