First ride

[Laird]

I have owned the Argo for a couple years now and could never get my wife to go for a ride(probably remembers the first one) but she wanted some birch branches to make some sort of display and I told her I knew where there was some but it would require a ride in the Argo. She reluctantly agreed as long as I wasn't going to be crazy.???( define crazy). But I took it easy in , got some branches, checked out a couple of trails and easy ride out. Got back to the truck, loaded up and on the way home says"you know , that was kinda fun". Almost had another heart attack. Don't know if I will ever get her in it again but the one trip was fun. She is also turning 68 and not an outdoors type of person.

I know about arthritis. Some days I can make a fist, other days can't hold anything in my hand. I feel for ya. Try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water once a day. Seems to help me. Helps with gout also. But I think maybe gout is a form of arthritis.

John is there a pile of wheelers and sxs at that spot if so I guess it's mud tracks required?

nct ...i had my half tracks on my max 2 highboy at busco last weekend ...peeled on off turning in a slippery , soupy mud hole at a angle . tracks are good there if you just running thru flat deep mud of any kind . the problem is many of the trails have deep ruts left by 4x4's and side by sides . tracks don't fit them exact . in fact scott and john in their argo tracked 8x8 almost peeled off a track twice in those ruts . otherwise they went thru stuff we got stuck in . they pulled me out atleast 3 times and same with j shades max 4 . always nice having a ''recovery vehicle along '' . they should post some videos soon . have fun ....johnboy

Here I run trails that mud holes like u guys encounter are rare but deep ruts from other off road units a hazard and in the fall slick trails it's tough to keep from sliding into biggest reason I off and on run daul wheels ruts no issue then but the unreal soup I see on vids from that park nothing but tracks would do something I lack I have tracks for snow but no good for that type of riding looks like fun if ur setup for it.
