Hi Kent,I HATE mud, always travel thru those spots as slow as I can...![]()
We teach in the Advanced Off Road course at Ford to head straight into mud and do not turn the wheel until you can bank off the other side of the mud pit...even if it is way longer than you think you need to go. Sort of a rim shot....otherwise...it is stuck city....Winch??? Help!!!!
And there is tons of technique that seasoned vets have learned.. I loved going places were "Jeep only" applied....But I would not venture with our Green Valley 4x4 group. Egos are big and experience is limited. Big ego guy in a brand new Jeep rolled it on its side..He had "tons" of experience in his own mind. Then came the upside down jeep that had to be dragged out of the narrow crossing...some $15,000 later the poor Jeep was back his garage....So much for being the expert. EX is a Has Been and a Spert is a Drip under pressure...
Best,
Phil
