Mud Runnin'....

The art of taking your vehicle and deliberately driving into a giant mud pit just to see how far you can go.... :)

Yeah....I've got quite a few more but don't have access to them at the moment. I'll attach a few more to this topic later this evening.

that's an interesting sport. Must be super high budget.

Nah, it's usually the blue collar working class types that do it.

You just need a four wheel drive with a strong drivetrain, tires with big lugs for treads, and the ability to get the tires turning fast. Taller tires will get the axle higher so you can hit deeper mud.

It helps if you have the ability as a welder and metal fabricator to maintain your truck, as parts break often. Usually suspension bits and driveshafts, sometimes engines. Vehicles built especially for mudbogging will often have the radiator relocated to behind the driver and protected from being clogged with flying mud.

The first time I did it with my Jeep I barely made it to the power wash because my engine kept overheating from all the mud on the radiator. Don't try it if you don't have a full reservoir of windshield washer fluid, either. ;)

Man I would love to try this one day, but my Ford Focus wouldn't cut it.

I love the pics, the only thing that could make them "that much better" is if in the last one the "mud staff" guy had some crack showing ;)
