DROVE?!? What have you done to your truck? That would require more than just a snorkel, were you wearing one too?

I redid the door seals myself with very thick rubber strips, all of the vent tubes for the rear ends and transmission are raised up right up by the wiper blades, however they weren't up high enough becuase the trans and rear ends took in water and had to be drained and have new fluid put in. Also I'm glad we had the 4 Hella 4000's on the roof becuase otherwise we wouldn't of been able to see where we were going.
i once made it through a very sticky patch of deep mud... only to accidentally back into it again and get myself very stuck.
(i was trying to position myself to clear the next obstacle on the trail)
also i would say "driving through an automatic carwash"... it had all kinds of warnings about not having roof racks and such and i went through anyway. bent my radio antenna enough that a twig tore it off weeks later..

i have even topped myself in the dumb catagory: last night in an effort to escape from nagging househlod-6 (thats a wife for the non-military out there) i decided to go off roading on military ground by post. at some point i ended up on the woop-de-dos of the humvee course. you know berm-trench berm-trench repeat. that course. except for here it has ben raining for 2 weeks more or less comstantly. so it was more berm-water obstacle, berm-water obstacle, repeat. anyway comeing back thru gate to get on post the guard politely informed me that i had a headlight hanging out - yup. held on only by its wiring. we pulled over to side of road and grabbed my disco repair kit - a roll of duct tape ready to put lght back in place for drive home. except for just the light - WE HAD LOST THE GRILLE TOO. with out ever knowing it. oops!
still wondering how im gonna explain that to household-6.
suggestions?

Maybe it doesn't count because it was my father's Grand Cherokee anyways... I tried to open the way to our cabin last spring. There was still 3 ft of snow. I made it up to the 3/4 of the trail. As I was climbing up the last slope, I had to back up but the truck fell beside the tacks and sinked in deep snow. I had to get out by the window. The good thing is that my friend and I have been able to get the truck out by itself. It wasn't in a Disco... but I definitely intend to try it with my Disco this year!
the dumbest thing so far was taking my girlfriend with me then i bought it.
suddenly it was her opinion that i had endless amounts of cash to spend and that she deserved something for my hard work and earning the money to purchase a vehicle for myself,,,,
im gonna go bash my head into a wall now,,,,

I hate that **** sloppyjoe. My girlfriend says to me all the time "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine." She actually means it. As if the $28 I have in my checking account is too much... [:@]
