How did this beast get it's name? More often than not when on trail I spent mys time 'towing' fellow 'stuck' wheelers out of mud holes as this 8,200 lbs made a good anchor. The funny thing is, I am the one that used to coax fellow wheels into the muck holes in the first place!

Here are a few pics of the Apache....
Here's a shot of the Apache getting ready for a snowy day of wheeling
One of the only competition muck bogs we brought the
Apache to before she retired for her rebuild.
Just another picture of the Apache,
she doesn't get out much anymore to get any new pics of her
Now this is an oldie, this picture was taken many years ago,
back when the Apache was little!
