A MUTTs day out!
Hello everyone,
It had been a longtime since we headed out somewhere on the MUTTs, so on the last weekend we went to the beach and took the MUTTs ... along with a newly commissioned Toyota FJ40.
1st, I sneaked in a turn on SNAFU's to put the boat in the water
but hit loose sand in 2x4 & bogged down
Called in ground support & used it as a winch anchor
once out, headed to put task to an end. The winch worked well
....... careful not to touch the salty water.
Anchor Mutt and me in the distant background
SNAFU, back from its sea dump . note the heavy winch, its placed on between the bumper and the body rail, 4 bolts off and the bumper comes off and one can pull the complete winch mounting out, 4 bolts back on and its back to an original look.
AWOL's AWOL
Heading out
Fellow member AWOL driving his AWOL
Bro-in-law driving AWOL's SNAFU
We head to the mountains
A very nasty trail
view from the top of the hill
Midway chat
Making it back to the beach hut .......
I drove the FJ ..... it was fun drifting in it
All in all a good day out, I missed by MUTT for the outing .......

Know when to fold 'em

There'll be time enough for counting
