2WD off-roading?

oh ok didnt know that hope she gets better soon

 

Thanks guys, didnt know you had to go fast through the mud and i think thats been the problem...

 

HIT IT HARD! get plenty of momentum and dont let off the gas until you are on the otherside. The second you feel the rear end start digging or dropping, throw it in reverse and try rocking the truck foward to reverse.

 

That truck is gonna have some repair bills. lol.

 

theres no trick to it, it's just a simple trick... stay out of the mud if you only have 2WD.
Or if you insist on 'mudding' keep your speed up, dont go too deep, don't stop in the mud!!! keep half the truck on more solid ground and stay out of the big ruts, turn your tires a little if you feel it slipping/sinking..kinda wiggle the truck thru it. I got a peg-leg diff still so I avoid the mud unless I can go fast thru it. and bring trash bags to cover your feet when you have to get out and attach a tow rope lol good luck

 

haha "stuck"....

I've never been stuck.. but I have the Locking Diffs...

 

No you don't.
You have a locking diff.

 

Hey just a quick question. If you do get stuck, how effective is it to use wooden boards to place under the tires to try to get unstuck? And does it help to dig out the tires with a shovel?

 

yo tacoguy if you bring the chick in your avatar don't worry about getting stuck, if anybody sees her they'll come right over.

 

Yeah, that will help!

 

and how much does airing down help in the mud?

 

i have never gotten stuck yet. i do all my wheeling in the mud and go to the beach never get stuck at the beach either so i never air down my tires i just go have fun and dont get stuck im the onethat pulls people out

 

i run a 2WD with about 32" STREET TIRES!! i am a logger and occasionally have to take my truck in the woods instead of using the work trucks. Keeping momentum is key but tire placement with keep you moving. Avoid dropping into old ruts if you can. I ran my truck at full tire pressure thru 2ft deep mud, soft sand, silt beds, and lots of Georgia clay... dont be afraid to try. BTW, a "snap strap" is an amazing investment.... streches 10% and pulls you out like a rubberband (requires additional vehicle)
