I import a little real estate from every place I go it seems. Glad to see someone else is in the exchange program as well..

Bill, try spraying the inside of the wheel with silicon spray crap. Mud just slides off. makes cleaning brake dust easier too. Find one thats clearcoat/wheel safe.

Worst was when a tree (yes it was a tree, ok a sapling) wrapped around the rear driveshaft

Amazingly enough - my wife drove the truck like this for about 1 1/2 weeks because I was too lazy to pull a wheel off!

Embedded in that mud were three rocks - all about the size of (flattened) golfballs - I can't believe they stayed in there that long :)

The key is to get the mud spread evenly to keep the wheel in balance.
