Ok so i have a 2008 2wd F-150 and looking to go mudding if you have any suggestion for me on what to get please tell me.

 

If you search this topic you will get a bunch of stuff. But heres a quick few...
Mud tires
Tow strap (for when you get stuck)
And a friend with a 4x4 to get you unstuck

If your serious and have the money...
Rear locker or LS
Lift
Winch


Momentum is your friend, mud all in your engine- not so much.

 

Thank you

 

2wd and mud riding is really hard to make work.

1.Mud tires will be a necessity with a 2wd to be able to do anything at all in the mud
2. Go with a chain, not a strap. I've broken so many straps, and never broke a chain
3.Definitely have somebody to get you out. With a 2wd, you WILL get stuck. Often. Regardless of what tires you have
4. A locker would be a very good idea, and so would a winch. Warn just came out with the new VR series with 8,000 10,000 or 12,000lb models that aren't near as expensive as their other models. I plan on getting the VR 10,000

Wow. I've never seen a chain break like that. The straps that 18 wheelers use on their flat bed trailers are the best straps I've used

 

good read and kind of gives a run down on what to do and not to do. also explains how a recovery strap is better than an 18 wheeler strap.

yeah never use a chain, they break and a chain under pressure is plain scary. Get a nice recovery strap they also act as a "rubber band" and pull you out.

 

I guess I've just been lucky with never breaking a chain. I've broken straps and a winch cable before

 

texas is considered yankee? try again.
