In this picture, my Scout's climbing up a hill at the end of the big mud puddle. This actually also goes through the very end of the small mud puddle. At the left, you can see my dad's truck (he didn't want to take a 2 wheel drive in the mud and besides, someone needed to take the pictures!). Unusual for a diesel Scout as well as unusual for my driving style, I'm actually moving pretty fast. I don't want to get stuck in the mud again.


Here I am at the top of the hill. As you can see, the driver's side front wheel is actually off the ground a little bit. Bet you weren't expecting to see a diesel Scout do that! :) At the right, you can see the small mud puddle. Behind my truck, you can also see some pieces of mud flying off my wheels.


As shown on the last picture, I was cranking the wheel all the way to the left. That put me here, basically right in front of my dad, who's taking the picture. I had stopped, but as you can see by the CB antennas, the turn was pretty radical and I had just stopped.


Here's another angle of my Scout after coming to a stop. Between the mud and the big grin on my face, it appears that we've been having fun! :) If you notice the lights mounted on my rear-view mirrors, those are turn signals. I wired them into the wires running to the front turn signals. I added these for two reasons. With how far they stick out, they come in handly for trailer-towing. In addition, they come in handy for someone who's abeam of the middle of my truck who can't see the front or rear turn signals. This way, there's no way they can not see that I'm signaling. They may look corny to some, but I like them.
