1st Place at Truck Show

Post by 14x4 »

The 4x4 club I'm going to join sponsored a truck show today. I had been planning on going for the past month but actually registering my truck was a decision made just last night. When I pulled up, the guy asked me if I was going to enter the competition or just spectate - I asked him if he thought I had a chance. He took a quick look at my truck and said "Oh yeah, you got a chance."

I ended up registering in the "Daily Driver" category. After a long, hot day of browsing through trucks, they finally called the winners for each category. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life when they called my name for 1st in my category. I truly was not expecting it.

Here are a few of the trucks that caught my eye.

I forgot to mention: later that night, to celebrate, I went off-roading with a buddy of mine and got the rig covered in mud. :rock:

It did surprisingly well on some difficult trails compared to my friend's 1500 Ram.

Well I didn't take any pictures last night and I sprayed off most of the mud when I got home, but...

My wheels are still dirty! Does that count? :lol:

That isn't even mud. That is missing your driveway in a wet time of year.

My truck looked just like yours! I even had grass hanging off the grille guard too. Like I said, I sprayed all of it off. :roll:

As for the following pictures - I used to get my four-wheeler that dirty when I had it, but I don't want my truck that dirty! I like trail-riding, not mud bogging! :wink:
