Just wondering if I'm the only one that tries to avoid mud in their 4WD these days..... going through it is fun, but the clean up leaves a lot to be desired. I drove out to the hunt'n land on Saturday and the usual water drainage at the bottom of a valley turns into a bit of mud hole. When it's full of water, going through it isn't bad because it falls off of the truck pretty easy making the clean up easier. Well yesterday the mud hole only had a little bit of water on top of it meaning that stuff had turned into red clay glue. I wasn't paying attention and I hit the hole in granny gear with not any speed and soon as I got into it, I started to feel the front end sinking and the truck not going anywhere. I stopped, got it in 1st gear, let out the clutch and stepped on the gas pedal and started to working the front wheels. The truck slowly went through it even with worn A/T tires, but for second there, I thought I got it stuck.. lol. Coming back through I went in with more speed and in 1st gear and made through pretty easy.
I know this doesn't look bad compared to a lot of other mud holes, but considering I have 31in all terrain tires with about 1/4in of tread left, it made it interesting:biggrin:
Note to self- Fix the pressure washer or get another one sooner than later.....
