About to do a liitle mudding for the first time.

My friends are about to do a little mudding and they invited me. Only problem I have a little 2wd 5 lugger.

Anything I have to be careful of? I keep hearing about alternators getting ruined.

I know my limits and won't be pushing it that hard. Just want to get it a little dirty.

 

Honestly. Avoid it. You will regret it later. Mud=death for a vehicle.

 

exactly .....how much muddin are u gonna do with a 2wd 5 lugger

 

Well it's more like driving in a field with wet dirt.

 

you're still gonna get stuck. With your tires and an open diff. You are bound to fail.

 

Its risky with such low ground clearence

 

it better be a dry field

 

Don't do it if they are big mud pits but if its a muddy field have fun

 

Ok. Im skipping out this trip. Even though I wanted to go it's probably better listening to you guys. Thanks

 

not worth it. iv lost an alternator in mud and ill never make that mistake again. waste of time.

 

You will find mud for months, I don't care how well you think you cleaned it. Mud/sand gets into everything and its like sandpaper on bearings brakes starters.not worth it man. Excellent decision to sideline this trip.

 

you can still go but shotgun in one of your buddy's car

 

well i guess their trip got canceled anyways. they are going to go check it out in the morning. i may drive down there and check it out

thanks for the help guys you may have just saved me from some future problems.

 

Glad you had the sense to ask here first

I live down a dirt road and it always takes about 7 bucks in quarters at the car wash just to blast off all the mud from the undercarriage after we get a lot of rain. Not worth it for sure.

 

MOMENTUM

 

^^^^ and what he said

 

Ya I'm pretty sure I won't go into mud pits like that. The deepest water would be like 2". I just won't to go and get some dirt on my truck.


So the guys that do go mudding or even do light off roading run the risk of messing up their truck? If that's the case what is the point of even getting a 4x4 or driving in mud anyways? I'm just trying to figure this out.

 

Just go and try it out...use basic common sense, pack a tow strap and go with a group incase you get stuck.....oh and make sure you have plenty of quarters for the self serve car wash after.
