Subject:      2WD Westy sucks in mud
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

In case you didn't already suspect this let me assure you that it's true, at least with the tires I'm running (Wynstar Phaser RTL51 in the stock size)..  My wife took the Mopar dog van to the river this morning while I loaded my tools into the Westy to go do a carpentry chore for someone. The alley behind her house is dirt which after rain and snow is now mud, and trying to get up the slight rise into her back yard from the alley must have been been amusing to behold.

I now know what not to risk if I encounter this in the wild.
