Nah, that's half the fun, right? Bring a drink for the guy with the winch/strap, and you're good to go.

Hmmm should I? I don't have sliders yet or other armor still... Hmm

 

[TJDukit]

Even if the Jeep was running right now not a chance with all that nasty mud.

You have a lot of lift, easily as much as I do. Though the mud does change things...

Not a fan?

 

[TJDukit]

Not a fan?

I'll wheel some of the toughest trails around but when it comes to mud I drive like I'm scared of it, so yeah not a fan, mostly of the cleanup but that's enough to scare me away.

 

[Troop92]

@TJDukit -- I get that. I grew up with mud (rural Idaho on a weekend, anyone?) and just figure that's part of wheeling. I actually like the cleanup -- I know, crazy, right?

@chevymog -- If I can break free from work midday, maybe I'll venture out and see how things are. I've only done rattlesnake once (in the snow), so not sure what to think in mud. Probably less than ideal.

 

[chevymog]

its got to be better than the snow lol. it should be fun no matter what though. as far the mud and clean up my truck get trailered everywhere, and i still havnt cleaned from the last time lol. dry would be alot better but it beats working all day

to all of those on the fence about going i say LETS GO!!!

 

[Troop92]

I didn't think the snow was all that bad, quite enjoyed it.

**EDIT** Not gonna make it. I have meetings off/on today, and my wife conned me into carpooling. So as much fun as it would be to plaster my commuter with mud...

 

[Tonkaman]

I was up there Saturday and above rattlesnake was super rutted out with all the run off flooding down the hill. I actually made it farther in the snow than in that mud

 

[STAG]

I'll come out, but I'll be late, like 2:45. I doubt you guys will still be there. 1 is just bad for me tomorrow ha. I could either be there earlier, or later. But I do have to make an appearance in Spanish Fork around 1:45 so I'll come out after I'm finished with that.

 

[Thardy]

I grew up with mud too (dairy farm irrigation) but I won't wheel in it if I have a choice!

 

[STAG]

I have videos too

Tall.

Nope.

Yep.

Not yet.

Haha I dunno how tall they were, to compare I would say they were comparable to a truck with 8" of lift. The ford maybe 10". And no no one got any father than what my pics show. Just too slick. And I won't attempt it until I have better skid plates and sliders.

 

[chevymog]

my chev is sitting on 39.5 boggers with a shackle flip about an inch of spring lift and 5-6'' from the portals, so what ever that adds up to is what its got for lift

the ford is running on 52" tractor tires but not sure how much lift he has.

waynes world was slick and with my wheel base i end up high centered on the driver side slider. We also did sidewinder first time for me and the ford it was a blast. i will post some video when i get a chance.

also thanks for all the jump starts, i started having problems in the middle of sidewinder

 

[Troop92]

Looks like a good time and not TOO muddy... I'd have thought worse.
