Does anyone do any real rock crawling/mudding
Looking at all of the modded up RC's has got a different fire lit under my butt. I have a '79 Ford Bronco that I have been wanting to turn into an off road play toy for some time now. I have decided to do 4 links front and rear. I want to get it done so I can go play in Moab. I used to climb, crawl, mud and bash my old stepside Ford, but I finally broke her and last year I sold her
.
So now I need to get it together and get my Bronco ready for off road. Does anyone else out there do fullsized off roading when you're not to busy with your RC stuff?

I'm not old enough to drive but I've always wanted a 2001 red Ford F-150 4wd with a V6 supercrew stepside. Then I'd put a 1 or 2" lift on it and some 30" tires, a plow, a sweet sound system, huge exhaust headers 
, and a hard cover for the bed

I'm on my 4th or 5th 4x4, depending on your definition of 4x4 (I don't count my 86 Civic WagoVan 4wd, some do, LOL)
started out with an 82 Jeep CJ-7 in 1997, sold it in '01 (stupidest thing i ever did), and 6 months later I got my 89 Isuzu Trooper. about 2 years later, I got my '91 Mitsubishi Montero for free, got it running, and sold it a year later (For $2700). After being 4x4-less for just over a year, I got my 02 Jeep Liberty 4x4 back in October. Have the lift, just need some new wheels and tires. Just sold my T-bird (I know I'll regret it), and I'm pickin up a G body El Camino sometime this spring/summer for a project (something short-term, just a motor swap and a little paint, long term projects tend to piss me off-why I sold the T-bird)
here's a pic from the KJ's maiden voyage (and I could have easily NOT have gotten stuck, had I been a tad more agressive with the throttle and a little better at picking a line)

Cool, I have an old VHS of me beating the piss out of my '81 Stepside Ford. Jumping and mudding and just generally beating her up. If I could ever figure out how to transfer it to digital I'd post it just for grins. I can't wait to get my Bronco going and do some off roading.
