You would have to pull it backwards with a dozer for it to get like that.

You get that by ripping through the mud bogs. All going forward. If I get traction off the line in 4 high this truck is unreal in the mud even with my wore out firestones. I`ve been looking for another set of 7 lug rims to put some super swamper tsl`s on. Put the eaton on top of that for next year. I will still run in stock class because it is a stock f150 blower.

It takes about 10 hours to clean everything each time I go though. This is the first time I wrecked something. The alternator finally piled up after 390km (240k+ miles).

guy`s think going down the track is an adrenaline rush. Go through 2 feet of mud next to an old jacked up GM running a 454.

that would be fun, just not doing it with my f150... maybe if I had enough beer.
I had my old truck that muddy, few pics in my album.

Yea the 5four don't have the nuts to make it thru a clay bog without the Eaton top end IMO.

An Eaton and Swampers would definitely help. But! Add in Stage2 heads and you'll have more than you need. I don't know about you, but that's the way I like it.

If you build one, IMO it's 500 hp or don't waste your time and expense.

BTW- I've fixed plenty of mud bog alternators in the past. Little pebbles wedge into the brush sleeves which of course prevents them from working at all lol. You need to disconnect/clear the alternator/pressure wash/ then blow it out w/compressed air/ pull the reg/push the the brushes thru the sleeves to clear obstruction/reinstall reg. . I have pics of this in my albums.
