Mudding Tricks?

I have a 2004 PreRunner 2wd. If I am going through mud and stuff should i put it in Low gear or 2nd gear or Leave it in Drive? And should i turn on the ETC switch to get more traction?

 

my best advice would be to steer clear of the mud with a 2wd but if u haft to go through it never stop. always keep your speed in a hole and the etc does not help with traction it deals with your tranny if you have it in low gear the etc button does nothing

 

My tacoma will go through more mud then alot of 4x4 smaller trucks and etc does nothing? What about over drive?

 

keep the tires spinning fast.

 

So high rpms but what gear and leave over drive and etc off?

 

I would leave it in drive with the ECT off. The Ect will not help you in the mud, it just changes your shift points.

 

Just romp it!! If you get stuck have someone pull you out. I have been to several mud holes where 4wd still only gets you so far if you don't romp it. But again you get stuck have someone get you out. I stand by if you haven't been stuck your not wheeling hard enough.

 

x2. and that goes for everybody not just 2wd

 

i have one in my tool box now

 

romp it and pray you make it through and not get stuck and have to call your buddy with a 4x4 lol JK

 

throw it in drive and hammer down.. its more fun that way ha ha

 

thats the reason why you get a 4wd

 

well mine is a 4wd drive, 4hi and second gear and my girl never gets stuck

 

Cocky huh? Be sure to post pics when you get stuck

 

i'll be sure to do that i actually have been stuck before my whole front passenger side tire was under water, i hit someones old rut probably from a full size but i wasnt stuck in mud it was water haha

 

Hammer down!!!
