Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 I'll just leave this right here. And Ill see y'all next week sometime. Big trucks playing hard: Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Ah good ole mud bog. The waterport mud bog is right behind my house I think they already had there first event the other week judging by the miles of mud left going down the road from the site. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Definitely a cool video. When i bought my first wrangler I went mudding one time...didn't get stuck but after having to clean it and change all the fluids I decided the fun wasn't worth it so I started crawling on rocks instead 1 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Mud and rocks are both stupid expensive. We went a lot in college somewhere around Springfield mass or Holyoke in that area. We broke both trucks we took a wrangler and a Toyota P/U. Wrangler snapped a drive shaft climing some rocks and the Toyota ran 3 tires off the bead while in the mud pit. Quote

I'm welding the frame and the tubes. He is doing the automotive part. Put a 454 in it and let it rip. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I want to see more of the dancing girls. Like flyfisher I went muddling once. I have not done it since. I will stick to fast cars, and making turns. Quote

tipptruck1 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Look up the Mudfest videos from Louisiana. And on that note. I will see you guys in about 5 minutes. 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Mudding causes way note damage than crawling too....when yo hare crawling and something breaks you know what it is and can fix it. When you go muddling **** will start breaking down the road from the added wear and friction caused by the mud in places you had no idea it could even get to. I don't mind running through a mud pit every once in a while but no way i am doing what those guys are doing... Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted May 26, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 26, 2014 If i am building a mud bogger you can take away a few of those zeroes Not like them BIG ones you ain't. Those tires alone cost a dang fortune. That's why I am building a rock crawler. Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 Yeah those ties aren't cheap but I know guys who would get them from junk tractors. The mudding thing just doesn't do it for me.. And yes, I have a wrangler now too. Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 Depends on when...I haven't started to build out my current wrangler. I am debating on the approach I want to take with it as the JK is pretty easy to get good ground clearance with minimal lift which keeps the COG low...crazy that I had to put 4" of lift on my old YJ to have the same size tire that came stock on my JK....

Super User clayton86 Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 Mud trucks are cheap to build 1 a red neck did it so you know it's 60% duct tape,20% zip ties,20% scrap tractor/truck parts. 2 a red neck did it 2 Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 I drive an Escalade. It has won every contest that I have entered. The statute of limitation should indicate that you need to shut up about those events, dude. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 26, 2014 Super User Posted May 26, 2014 I think the key phrase is "every contest that I have entered." Quote
