Off-roading in the M-37

Post by ez8 »

Had a great Saturday morning out doing some off-roading with some friends. We went to Badlands off-road park in Attica IN and spent about 4 hours crawling around. I had zero issues with the truck all day. It seems like we can trust each other now. It took everything I threw at it and only got stuck once in a particularly deep mud puddle (last picture), but with a little help from a buddy and 4-low we got out no problems.

All in all the truck was running for about 6 hours straight and never once complained - no weird sounds, no struggling, just a dirty, happy truck. I got back and I was beaming.

Great Park, I've always enjoyed wheeling my M37 there. Looks like you and the M37 will have many more hours of fun in your future. Glad you had a great time and thanks for sharing!
Thanks,

Always fun to test the capabilities of these trucks. With Winter on the way I'll get mine prepped and ready (never did find my lost tire chain from last season so I'll be giving John at Midwest a call before the snow hits).

Great photos-thanks!

Looks like a great time out there. Thanks for sharing the pics.
I love getting my truck out and getting it dirty now that is a 10 year old restoration and no longer a "trailer queen" . They are really in their element offroad :)
