I had fun in the mud.
It's been said - whatever you find yourself doing on the first day of the year, you'll find yourself doing all year long. So, choose wisely.

I’d love to say I hit the trails, but instead I hit the kitchen table …

Enjoyed the unusually warm 60 degree weather by installing a set of Nokian Hakka R5 winter tires on the new CX-5 just added to the family motor pool. Then I washed all the road salt off the Defender. And took down the outdoor Christmas lights.

It may be a few days before you eat at your kitchen table. We're about halfway through assembling our Lego Defender.

I installed a set of Lucky 8 Rock Sliders (I had them Line-X'ed).

It's a beast on the trails. Well worth the work.

@GavinC - I highly recommend limb-risers on that beast if you are going to keep wheeling in that kind of forest.
