HOrnbrod Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Use skinny tires. Like this unstoppable 1920's era Dodge 2WD sedan. Video courtesy of the Cruiser-man:
kook911 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 With built in roll bar. Just brush off the grass and go
Incommando Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Tall skinnies work great in mud. And they are generally easier on axles than the same height but wider tire.
Jeep Driver Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I want meat and lots of it.......no skinnies for me. But then, my truck does not see mud.
88whitemanche Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 If you got a buggy skinny v thread work awesome... But you want fat chunky tires to float on the mud... Skinner tires just sink in the creases and fill the threads fast... Wheel speed and motion gets you through thick mud...
Incommando Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Tell that to the ghost of the guy driving in that video.... :banana:
Pete M Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 yeah, cleaning mud outta your frame and drums just plain sucks. :(
benjy_26 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 It's horrible. We have "caliche" down in my part of Texas. It's basically limestone dust and chunks that have gotten re-cemented. When dry, it's hard as rock and you get pretty good traction on it. Wet, think super slippery clay that DOES NOT clean off of treads and is almoat impossible to take off of your undercarriage.

Then just let it rain makes the $#!& like ice
buxmj Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 That is a great video. Wonder if he ended up with neck problems later in life. Buck.
