    Dang Dude! I was expecting a big travel trailer.

    That sucks but it's a funny story you'll share on many camping adventures.

    I guess this is a good review on the K02s mudworthiness.

    :mudding:
    Or should I say flat ground and almost snow. ;)

    No I did not air down the tires are filled with nitrogen. I have the up most confidence in these tires and that the truck would have made it through the first time. Like I said though I was TRYING (lol) to be easy on my buddies yard. All in all we figured it out and probably most importantly we figured out that his truck has a issue with the 4x4. That is a good thing to know before the real winter months hit. Unfortunately my friend went out and test drove a slightly used 2018 raptor yesterday instead of diagnosing the problem with his 4wd. I will somehow feel responsible if he buys a new truck.

    In your defense, there has been a lot of rain and that place is surrounded by cat tails. Probably similar to my back yard in Michigan where I have a lot of red brush and standing water after heavy rain. There's a couple months during summer when it's not a sink hole, or when it's frozen, then you can drive something heavy like a pick up on it. Anything heavier than that and it can get ugly. Don't bother asking how I know.

    Funny thing happened just yesterday. My cousin always rips on me about my Toyota. He drives a newer dodge, works for Chrysler at one of the plants in Michigan.

    I'm in Tennessee right now and my cousin came down to help me for a day. It rained all day yesterday, the day he was here. I had truck and trailer blocking the drive so I said go around. It's a shallow ditch, we approached at an angle, shouldn't be a problem. He was just giving my shit saying good thing we had his truck and my Toyota probably wouldn't make it up the slight grade. In his dodge we go around my truck in two wheel drive and,... well that didn't work. Now he can't back up either because we're pointed straight and hitch digs into ditch. Try it in 4 wheel drive,... no load in the truck, no trailer, new all season tires on wet grass and a very slight incline,... he just tore up the lawn until I told him point the wheel the wheel hard right and slide front over, go across to the other driveway, turn around and come back. I wish I had been recording.

    Don't feel bad. We've all been there. :)
