Jeep Wrangler in Mud Pit at Rausch Creek offroad park - 2nd pass

[Mitch062]

cmon man, take the dog out roll the windows up put the top on and get BOGGED

[yaamyrider904]

peice of cake...siiiiiiiike



[Tmstar5]

Remember if you do 35's with 4:56 gears you bring it back to factory settings!!! Unless you have mods... Was thinkn of 35's but I stuck with my 33's love the torque and power

[Johnx18250]

I always wanted to go to this park. It looks sick. What town is this in again?

[gomofast]

@Johnx18250 Tremont, PA

[Johnx18250]

@gomofast yeah dude i thought it was something like that. Im not very far away from there. i subed.

[cantdonotin11]

how big of a lift kit u got on that

[TheJackCutts]

i think you did fine! and it got deeper it looks like haha.

[acidmatar]

is this car expensive nowadays? i like the old models but are they good enough or will they need much maintenance?

[fritzwents]

This isn't mudding. That was a hard bottom. Try going through a bottomless bog posers.

[xxxBAM77xxx]

@fritzwents no need for a bitch fit here..were all just having fun

[jeepfan186]

you should have stoped at .33 sec and then went forward and stept on it

amture off roader scared to go

[Sept0pus]

@jeepfan186 if he was scared than how come he did it twice

[jeepfan186]

you should have stoped at .33 sec and then went forward and stept on it

[FILMZ1994]

that my friend is badass!!!

[199jsb]

@gomofast Have you had any problems with your lift over the years besides the rear end sagging? And how long have you had it? Nice jeep btw

[gomofast]

@199jsb No, I haven't had any problems. I've had the lift in for about 6 years I think.

[brookidee94]

this reminds me of a crocodile! :P

[october001]

Nice jeep, nice vid! So many videos on here show guys easing into the mud and then pinning the throttle to the floor. Nice to see someone tackle it as it's supposed to be done.

[MrCuatro87]

look at the ladies head after 00:42

[TwiztidICP90]

do you lose any lift with that rough country kit?

im looking to get one for my XJ and i need to see how they do

thanks (:

[gomofast]

@TwiztidICP90 I'm not sure what you mean. The back end has sagged a bit over the years.

[mjolnirv17777777]

i love the dog in the back of the jeep, so mellow mine would be freaking out.

[FARTNOISE100]

@mjolnirv17777777 hell yeah that dog was think pppppppphhhhhhhh master going to beat this like his meat

[guevaraz101]

Piece of Cake, love the attitude ....

[dbzgt545]

nice nice nice.... love it

[BarbarinC]

did you have the lockers locked for this? and how are those gears on the roads? i have an 02, and about to put a 4.5 inch lift with 35's. but drive on the highway as much as i do the trails. so was just wondein.

[gomofast]

@BarbarinC I don't have lockers. The Detroit Trutrac and the factory TracLok are both limited slip differentials.

[gomofast]

@BarbarinC I'm very happy with the 4.56s and 35s. 

[09adge13]

@gomofast where is this offrd park located?

[gomofast]

@09adge13 Tremont PA

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast just a 4 inch lift and you fits 35s just fine?

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 Yup. If you disconnect the front sway bar, then the tires will rub a bit when fully articulated, but it's never been a problem.

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast so do you need a bigger axle?

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 I'm still running the stock Dana 35 axle, but if you're not careful, you can break it pretty easily.

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast k thanks. are those stock fenders and what back spacing?

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 They are aftermarket fenders. I don't know for sure the backspacing on the rims, but if you order from quadratec, they will make sure you get what you need.

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast so will having stock fenders affect anything with 35s? and i shop at quadratec all the time :)

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 I ran the stock fenders for years with my 35s before getting the wider ones.

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast k so what size engine you got?

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 4.0

[ChristianJames6759]

@gomofast how wide are your rims?

[gomofast]

@ChristianJames6759 10 inch wide rims

[Chevymuddin22]

is this hole on the pole line?

[gomofast]

@Chevymuddin22 Yes, this is the Mud Pit on the pole line.

[Chevymuddin22]

@gomofast i hit this july 4th weekend in my ZR2

[MultiProskills]

0:30 The do is not liking that

[xxrubicon308xx]

do those 4.56's work well or do u wish u would have went with 4.88's. im going to be buying lockers, axle shafts. and gears at the pa jeep show here and i was wandering what to get.

[gomofast]

@xxrubicon308xx I'm happy with my 4.56s

[Copperswilly]

Rausch Creek is in Tremont, PA 17981

[KyleMakYeah]

sick truck, poor dog.

[lamarfamar]

get a snorkle

[TheBrandon177]

what gears do you have and do your 35 scrub

[gomofast]

@TheBrandon177 4.56 gears, the 35s don't rub unless they sways are disconnected and the suspension is fully articulated. BTW, "scrub" is an alignment issue, not a tire fitment issue.

[Duskydriver]

EPIC!

[kyleosbun2007]

all that dog was thinkin was FUUUUUUUUCK hahahaha.

[euvi85]

No way a hummer could get through that...

[chef979]

is this a 4 banger.

[gomofast]

@chef979 No, it's the 4.0L six

[bigpop717]

nice!!!

[americanmonster1]

is this any where close to lewistown or state college pa? id like to come check this place out

[gomofast]

I don't know, try Google Maps.

[lamborghinigman]

sweet submarine lol

[americanmonster1]

where is this at?

[gomofast]

@americanmonster1 In the Mud Pit at Rausch Creek Offroad Park in Tremont, PA.

[americanmonster1]

35" s are the way to go man, they fit my 97 perfect with a 4" suspension and 3" body....they give you 2 more inches than 33" tires

[gomofast]

I agree that 35s are great with a 4-inch lift. However, they will only give you 1" more clearance over 33s (not 2"). I know that sounds weird, but think about it... the distance from the centerline of the axle to the ground is roughly half the diameter of the tire... so about 16.5" with 33s or about 17.5" with 35s (actually less due to sidewall flex). I know that's not a measure of ground clearance, but rather I'm just using it as a reference point for the height increase with a larger tire.

[mountainboundwbd]

next tire change get 33x12.5 or whatever fits ur wheels, u need 33" tires with a 4" lift, and you should get a 2" body lift with all of that, thats what i have on my 04 wrangler, and i get better clearance and offroad abillity

[gomofast]

I'm very happy with my 35s and no body lift.

[mountainboundwbd]

just saying, i got the rough country 4" x series lift with 2 inch body lift added plus the 33's and i get good clearance, especially when i take off the the removable sway bar, i can really flex

[IzZyTX1991]

Ok i have a 2000 wrangler sahara or whatever its got33'' tires and its lifted im pretty sure its 4'' is that good? Also wtf is a removable sway bar do i have one on my 2000? I just got it and am new to offroadin.

[pdlong123456789]

look for some kind of removable pin on the drop links (you don't actually remove the sway bar - just "disconnect it).

[Xdsin100]

@mountainboundwbd if he gets 33s he will have less clearance at his axles which is what you need when you are going through mud, rocks, and snow. The 35s are a better choice except is that a rubicon with D44 axles? If not, your setting yourself up for breakage with your D35 rear and D30 front.

[xxrubicon308xx]

@Xdsin100 that isnt a ruby look in front of the door it says sport. he may have upgraded axleshafts but i do agree if those are the stock axles, you have a really good chance of snapping them doing this kind of stuff. when the rear tire dropped into that hole, that is when the axle will snap.

[thepreme123]

Haha, The dog.... He bounces when the car bounces hahaah funny

NIce off roadin'

[iwishiwasboarding]

does anyone else just love the dog in the back?

[gomofast]

Haha, that's "Rocky", he loves to go 4-wheelin'

[nxmoparmatt84]

@iwishiwasboarding ya looks like a pretty happy dog

[9DevilDog3]

Does mud/water not get in the cab?

[gomofast]

If your door seals are good and your floor plugs are in, then it will stay pretty dry inside.

[Jeepgoup]

awesome

[gomofast]

nope, it's a manual

[Neil461]

how does that rough country ride? i wanted to get a 6" rough country for may 2000 silverado but i heard it rides bad

[gomofast]

Mine rides beautifully. I used plain hydro shocks (not gas charged), and I actually get a lot of compliments from other Jeep owners on the way it rides. If you use stiffer shocks, you will have a stiffer ride.

[Neil461]

oh ok. so gas shocks are stiffer than hydro shocks? why would anyone pick the gas shocks then

[gomofast]

Yes, gas-charged shocks are typically stiffer than plain oil shocks. As far as which to choose, it depends on the vehicle, the suspension, and your preference of comfort vs. performance. Softer shocks will be more comfy on the road, but bouncier offroad.

You should talk to someone with the same vehicle and lift, and ask them about their ride quality and what type of shocks they have. Or call Rough Country and ask them which shocks they recommend for that particular vehicle/lift combo.

[hondavteclover]

hey i've got the same lift w/33s and i was wondering if you have any problems with clearing 35s and i was wondering if you've got a dana 35 and if so have you broken anything in it.

[gomofast]

the 35s would rub a little on the stock flares when fully articulated, but with extended flares they clear.

Yeah, I blew up my dana 35 once, you just need to be careful.

[hondavteclover]

That dana 35 is the main thing i worry about, its got 110k on it now so i think im gonna stick with the 33

[wolfland1]

what size/ model lift and tires are on that?

[gomofast]

Doesn't anybody ever read the description? It's all in there.

[endeffect0]

cant wait to go to Rausch Creek. good point on mud getting into the bell housing. ill have to remember that.

IF only she hadn't spoken so soon eh?

[showbizkidIShot]

heyyy im gussing your jeep is a stick. mine is a work in progress. its a 99 stock with 33 mud rovers. but im jw. while in the middle of a mud pit, is it bad to change gears? or should i jsut stay in first?

[mcwk1992]

changing gears is not something you want to do in mud pit... changing gears make you lose power and just pushing clutch in you'll prob slow down to much to where you'll need to go back in 1st.

[gomofast]

I agree that changing gears in the mud is not a great idea, but not just because of momentum. The bigger issue is that pushing in the clutch separates the clutch disk from the flywheel, allowing mud to get in between the two. This results in a loss of friction, which can cause your clutch to slip. I made this mistake, and could feel my clutch slipping for the next three or four days.

[goomba2smash]

is there ANY mud or water seeping thru in the inside?

[gomofast]

yeah, actually I had forgotten to put my floor plugs in after the last time I cleaned it out, so the water came right in through the open holes

[borrowedparts]

as to the question of auto vs standard, yes standard gives you a lot of control, but for driving simplicity, the auto is the way to go, and as to wearing out autos prematurely, the only problems i have ever seen were the people who run in overdrive all the time, 1st or 2nd work fine, fluid loss from a rollover n burning it up without topping it off, but bringing extra is common sense, and drowning the truck n filling it with mud... so if you are a beginner, id say go auto,fewer actions is safer

[vipervnm]

If you're a beginner you probably don't know where your trans breather is located. Some autos on Wranglers have a very poor breather location. Beginners don't know that and swamp them all the time. Even experienced drivers get stuck in a bad situation sometimes. Go manual!

[Burtssard]

Shyte dude....awesome!

[Gsquad92]

why the hell are you crawlin?!? you gun it right through that shit, but nice video. btw your jeep looks like shit, and runs like it too im guessing by your its not strifing.

[gomofast]

Um... what?

[gdonfreeman1]

hay nice jeep

[bigtnew]

Haha my thoughts to his post exactly.

[TheJeepWheeler]

dude ur dumbass piece of piece. if yu knew anything about TJ's. if they got two LSD in both forn and rear , theyre good

[samcyanide666]

Time to change the diff fluid lol! Nice jeep man.

[shadlure1]

go a little faster and make the mud fly!!!

[lunchboxtrh]

how much did the lift cost you? and the tires?

[gomofast]

The lift was about 500 and the tires about 750, but that was a few years ago.

[darensmiles4]

rausch creek is inbetween tremont and tower city pennsylvania.

[gcmsboy1234]

0:25 Peice of cake.. You spoke too soon

[bloodeytear]

yea id perfaer manual for off road like u said more controll

[DieselProductionz85]

is it better to have an automatic transmission for mudding ? or standard?

[gomofast]

I prefer a standard because you have more control, and because they tend to last longer under hard offroad situations. But I'm sure there are arguments for autos as well.

[flyinhigh420yadig]

definately manual

[vipervnm]

Some autos have the breather right on the trans so they suck up mud/water easily. If you mud or water cross with an auto, be sure you install/relocate your breather. If not, at best you'll be flushing your trans several times. Just go manual :-)

[gmclung]

can u fit 33 inch tires on 17 inch rims

[gomofast]

You need to buy the right size tires. For example, 33x12.5x17... the last number indicates the rim size.

[taintedtomuch]

im planning on doing pretty much the exact same 4in plus 35s how big are your rims? because at the moment im running stock with 30in with 15x8 won't work for 35s?

[gomofast]

My rims are 15x10s. I would not try to put that large of a tire on the stock rims. You need more backspacing so they don't rub.

[taintedtomuch]

ight thanks ill invest in bigger rims aswell then.

[86powerram]

my brothers jeep has a 2.5 inch suspention lift springs and shocks and a 3 inch body running 34's his set up works awesome and ten inch wide rims

[TheJeepmike]

thank got its closed they were over charging people i think 65 dollars a day was kinda expensive and i had 32 1150 bfg muds and he's right they do last forever on a jeep i got 33 1350 ltb's super swampers thier great offroad but not so great on the road espcially when i have a 4cyl with gears 4;56

[gomofast]

What's closed? I believe Rausch Creek is still open and the rate is only $35 per day.

[TheJeepWheeler]

Hey man, overall hows that Detroit tru trac in the front? I take it your front diff is a dana 30. Can you tell me where and how much you got it for .thanks!!

[gomofast]

Yes Dana 30 up front. I love the Truetrac. It performs very well offroad, and it's completely invisible on the road. I bought it from Quadratec. I think it was around $350, but that was a couple years ago.

[TheJeepWheeler]

Alright, ever had it in snow? if so does it perfrom almost "2 tire fire" the whole time?. And whats ur ring n pinion up front?

[gomofast]

Every winter. It goes great in the snow. Still very steerable. The Truetrac is a limited slip, so it doesn't make you slide around like a full locker in the front end would in the snow. 4.56 R&P

[kingofpita]

I have a stupid question...is it easier to offroad with an auto or a manual tranny? cuz i was considering buying an 89 yj with the 4.0 carbed and manual tranny but wasnt too sure...

[gomofast]

A manual requires a little more skill and finesse, but I prefer it due to the added control you get with the ability to select gears. There's nothing wrong with using an auto, but if you do alot of hard offroading, you might wear it out quickly.

[DScherer09]

Overall, how was this trip? I'm looking into going to Rausch Creek some weekend before summer's over...Just want a little first-and account of the trails there.

And do you have lockers on that rig? Cos that hole was deep! Nice run.

[gomofast]

Rausch Creek was great. Trails range from dirt roads to a competition rock crawling course, and everything in between. Camping is primitive, no running water or electricity.

I have a Detroit Truetrac up front and the factory Trac-Lok in the rear.

[ericceallaigh]

How do you like your BFG M/Ts?

[gomofast]

They're amazing. I have over 50,000 miles on them. Gonna have to change them soon, but to get that many miles on a mud tire is incredible.

[ericceallaigh]

Hah yeah thats almost unheard off, how do they do in the mud? do they clean themselves out well?

[gomofast]

They go great in the mud and they clean out really well.

[mollydoodle0617]

to the guy sayin dogs love jeeps lol. i tried to find why you said that but couldnt.

but YES my border collie/wolf mix loves my wrangler

[gomofast]

Look closely, my dog is in the back seat.

[BGFury1]

Nice job. I've seen a few get swallowed up in that hole.

[xzbty]

fack i dont know change velocitys im my wrangler 1997

[kirbytheap]

Good driving. Most idiots that do not know how to drive, hit the water or pits of mud at a high rate of speed and kill their jeep. You know what your doing.

[gomofast]

Thanks. I'm spinning 35 inch mudders, and I've still got the Dana 35 rear, so finesse is the name of the game for me.

[bansheesheeder92]

where can you get drivetrain work done like gears, and difs? and i wanted to put a lift kit on my jeep do i need to do anything with the drivetrains or..???...

[gomofast]

Any good mechanic can do the gears. Lifts can usually be done by the home mechanic with a buddy or two. Whether or not you need to modify your drivelines will depend on the size of the lift. Do some research and you will find out what you need.

[gilberjm]

Very nice.

[daaaveed]

what kind of lockers you running?

[gomofast]

I don't actually have "lockers" by the true definition. I have limited slip differentials. The rear is the factory Trac-Lok limited slip, and the front is a Detroid Truetrac limited slip. The Truetrac is gear-driven so it should never wear out, pretty cool.

[XxGlamisDunerxX]

are you using the rough country shocks? how does the ride feel on the road

[gomofast]

Yeah, I chose to go with the hydro (oil) shocks, rather than the nitros (gas-charged). They are softer and the ride is great. I've actually gotten a bunch of compliments on the ride quality.

I installed the same lift on my buddy's jeep and we used gas charged shocks on his. He kept them for a few months, and then we ended up removing them and installing hydros instead.

[sirnotty]

thats sick. what are lockers?

[gomofast]

Here is the short, short answer... A locker is a type of differential that eliminates wheelspin by forcing both tires to rotate at the same speed, regardless of traction.

So with a traditional open differential, when you get stuck, one tire will spin, and the other will do nothing (think My Cousin Vinny). A locker will make both tires spin at the same speed.

[aloobi]

That's it.. I'm getting me one..

[holshotace]

good to see someone let the jeep do the work and not hit it at 20mph ,,,nice jeep

[Figgles274]

Did you just stall your jeep before your 2nd attempt at making it out of the puddle.

[gomofast]

No, I didn't stall. And I think that this qualifies as a little more than a "puddle."

[BobbyDangla]

haha more than a puddle. nice vid man.

[treyofour]

yeah that hole is fuckin deep, its so hard to tell on a video...but if it looks that deep on a video i can imagine how bad it'd swallow my 95 yj on 33 in boggers with no lockers!!!

[bamper42069]

those lockers make a big diffrence i dont think it would have made it through that hole wtihout em. Nice jeep btw

[theburnyvan]

Lol the woman talking almost jinxed them

[tigers567]

yeah, i didnt know if it would make a large difference or not with the leafs vs. coils...wow, that's not good to hear, i hope i dont have that issue. but i checked out the rough country website and they said i shouldnt need either so hopefully theyll end up being right.

[tigers567]

awesome...i was looking at the same lift from rough country for my YJ and was wondering if i could tuck 35s without getting a body lift added to the suspension lift. That's great to hear, i drive my jeep as a daily driver so i dont really want any vibration.

[gomofast]

The YJ suspension is totally different than the TJ (leafs vs. coils), so I can't say whether or not the 35s will fit. I would recommend calling the guys at Rough Country and asking them what they think. Also, I installed my same life on two other TJs for my friends, and both of them had vibe issues and ended up needing an SYE and new driveshaft. I think I just got lucky.

[tigers567]

hey great video...you were able to tuck 35s on a 4in suspension lift? Also, did you get a SYE or new driveshaft?

[gomofast]

Yeah, easy. They might rub the fender flares from time to time a little at full articulation (sway bars disconnected), but it's no big deal. And no, I didn't install a SYE or new driveshaft. I was lucky to not have any vibration issues.

[vjeep8]

hi mate. sic jeep. just bought my first Jeep the other day.. TJ Wrangler.. Has the jeep in this video got the standard 4ltr in it?

[gomofast]

Yup, stock 4.0 engine.

[afsisasotk]

NIce Jeep man. I want my next one to look and perform like that. I have a CJ right now. Good to see you getting so deep without a snorkel.

[BeboAltizer]

i am not trying to be an ass, but what color is it? (i am colorblind)

[SumoSizeIt]

gray-blue metallic, or slate blue I'd probably call it

[BeboAltizer]

thanks

[fenderguitarist05]

sweet Jeep dude!

[Dirtbiker1537]

i just got the 2.5 inch suspension 1.75 inch body lift from rough country. I wanted the 4 inch suspension but then i needed a new drive shaft and all that shit and it was just too expensive.

[crazytacostudios]

them things are unstoppable. never get stuck. even in wwii
