Mudding questions!?

True, im sure you have not gotten into any agressive terrain. otherwise you would have gotten stuck

 

soo turn it off when mudding? it helps with it off?

 

Not exactly. When you're trying to have fun in the mud your trac control is freaking out thinking you are sliding off a cliff on some slippery mountain road. Sometimes it does help to shift power from slipping tires to gripping tires but if you're really sliding around it's gonna be braking your tires so much you;ll be going through, just real slow with a bunch of beeping and 'shuttering' from your brakes. It's ok, just more fun to turn it off and let the driver control the factors.

Plus the 2nd gear 4HI suggestion is just a good place/speed to be getting through stuff... if you have an open area there's no reason you cant be flat out in 4th going sideways

 

4lo is for slowly crawling. Use 2H and 4H for mud. You can always select the gear you wish to be in to further lower your gearing, ie 1-5th gear with 4H.

 

Turn the TRAC off by holding the button for 3-5 seconds, then the game begin

 

4h, i was showin off to the gf yesterday and got stuck for about 15 mins cause i got hung up and 4wd wouldnt lock in....it eventually locked in though

 

so you say 4H also?

 

definately 4h to start, if you get stuck try 4l, if none of the above works time to hook up the strap.


i got stuck because i was showin off in 2h, got hung up and stuck, when i tried switching to 4h it wouldnt lock in, after about 15 minutes got it to lock into 4h and skinny pedaled out

 

if you get suck in 4h with the traction control off you may want to try turning it back on to get out of the mud. TRAC in 4h or 4l is auto limited slip differentials. meaning all four wheels will spin in the mud.

 

4wd is not true 4wd with open diffs. if your in mud only one front and one rear wheel will spin.

 

true well i went mudding today and got stuck.... mainly cause my car bottomed out in the tracks. luckly my friend had his truck and he pulled me out..... soon i am getting my 6 inch lift with my super swamper so ill be set

 

Another good 'secret to success' in mudding: when you start losing forward traction and feel like you might soon get stuck, start whipping the steering wheel left and right. It helps give the tires a fresh bite and can kindof walk you forward.

 

Do you have the actual address of this hill ?

 

Good thinking. Yeah this let's the lugs on the sidewall do some work as well.

 

there is no address to the hill. its a place my friends found and its a hole cut into a fence and there is a trail to this big field type place. and i got stuck since my car bottomed out on a try spot and couldnt get out.

 

i went to again today and coverd my carr... sooo nasty. i mudded right under the air show

 

Yes, you have to stop and hold the button down to turn it off. If you leave it on, it cuts out your accelerator when you lose traction, which is like always in the mud.

 

yeah i know. i did it today and i was set

 

yeah i know what you mean, I hit "120" on the speedometer while in the mud one time hahahah

 

nice. You beat me. I've only done like 100mph. That's the fastest my speedo has ever seen.
