couple of my buds want to go out to a friends farm mud pit and do a little four wheeling. but bein as i do not have really anything, i was wondering if it is worth it to go or not. any tips on wheelin a stock truck.
i know i wont be able to do what people with lifts and bigger tires can do.
but any help would be cool
Thanks

 

ull be fine i think just read the pit and if u get stuck the thing that used to help me was turn the front wheels to the side and gas it cus it gives it better traction, just becareful because when it does it takes off.
and have fun man

 

yea thanks for the advice
my main concern is i not alot of ground clearance, incase i slide into someone else ruts or something, and traction wont be too good probably with my tires
whats best 4 hi or low?

 

I would suggest staying in 4 hi for the wheel spin. Also I remember reading about someone breaking parts by putting the truck in 4lo and turing too sharp. If there is water check the depth before you go in I know from experience it sucks to sink your truck in water. Try as hard as you can to stay out of the bigger trucks ruts as well.

 

yea well where id be going they told me its just like pure mud really no water
one kid takes his f100 2wd on 33s in there lol but gets stuck, so im pretty sure i would be fine im assuming

 

well if a 2wd goes in and gets stuck but doesn't destroy his truck than you should be fine. Have fun cleaning the mud off when you are done.

 

just keep your foot into it.

 

oo forgot to mention its a 6cyl also

 

It sounds like a big place in open field to cut some dounuts. You should be fine. And if you get stuck in someones ruts it wont be a big deal as long as they are around to pull you out.

 

Just CHECK THE "PUDDLES" Before you go in Sounds like you guys will have a blast just make sure you have a good tow strap with you

 

ya man you should be fine. just take her easy. you dont gota test all its limits the first time you take it out. just make sure if you do get stuck you have a cooler of beer and a good tow strap.

 

yea so he can get a DUI. Be smart fellas

 

haha alright thanks
the only thing im gonna hate myself for is the cleanup
think im gonna order a recovery strap. wheres the best place to get one through?

The procomp straps on this page seem to have gotten good reviews from other members. If all else fails find a Tractor Supply store.

 

yup, like everyone says, you'll be fine. I did it many times with my truck. make sure you have plenty of recovery equipment (shovels, axes, TOOLS, compressed air helps, straps, maybe a "come-along" or another device you can help pull your truck out with. Bring a highlift jack, food and cooler, and WATER. Wheeling prepared is always a fun adventure and makes getting stuck half the fun. Goin out like a moron with out the right tools, getting stuck, then messing up your rig trying to get it out, then having to limp home isn't as much fun (still a blast to me). Maybe convince a buddy with a winch to come out and play ? and above all, you gotta bring a camera ! Take it easy, check your mud pits before going through them (either get out and poke with a stick or have someone else drive thru first ! ) and be smart! Have fun bud.
