Come on man, that ain't real muddin!

[jrussell3176]

Feel free to show us some then!

The only video I see that you have is a mutt biting your pants leg. That's not a real dog you know! lol

[gearhead868]

[jrussell3176]

Chevy 350

[shootnmove]

snorkel would be sick on that jeep

[jrussell3176]

It has one! We just put them inside the cab because the corner of the windshield gets too wet and dirty. There's a shot of the snorkel in "Part 3".

oh ok i see what you mean..thanks

[lostinlox]

the guy in the background says......damn.....like he's impressed,it didnt even hardly get water or mud on the rims,one little hole at the end.....not impressed.....

[jrussell3176]

We were just shocked that he made it through so easily. If you saw the hole in person you would see what I mean. There's another video of him hitting the same hole from a different angle and he doesn't even come close to making it.

[jrussell3176]

Check out "Part 9" for the other video.

Its called tire flotation, thats what is impressive. I watched a Sami keep his tires on top ot terrain that my CJ just sunk to its frame in. He drove in strattling the 24" or so ruts I made and didnt' sink hardly an inch. The ground was so soft you couldnt' walk on it, but he could drive on it, lol.

[lostinlox]

The Sami stayed on top because it's probably 3000lbs lighter...come on chief.....really,it's not that impressive....

[l337pwnage]

Well, actually my CJ only weighs about 3200 top off, but at least you understand the concept. Thats what the big tires do, reduce the ground pressure so you don't sink. Some people like flingin mud around, which does look cool, but that means you are struggling. That doesn't impress me. Driving right up to and around some big bottle fed truck who is buried to the doors, and then driving away effortlessly, that impresses me...and pisses off big trucks. ;)

*geared

[gh5659]

the guy below when he said it is gearded for crawling..how can u tell from the sound what it is geared for?

[jrussell3176]

You can tell the gearing by the high RPM's and very slow speed.

If you watch some Toyota rockcrawling videos you'll see what I mean. The engines are screaming but the tires are barely spinning.

[jabey1111]

sweet dude it look nice

[jabey1111]

what size tires

[jrussell3176]

40x17x15 Ground Hawgs.  They only measure out to about 36" on the truck though.

[peterplaysbass]

sounds like that jeep's geared for crawling, not mudding. shift down!

[jrussell3176]

It has all stock gearing. That's just 4-low with a 4-speed manual.

[peterplaysbass]

That makes sense. Personally, I'd leave it in 4-high for mudding. You made it through just fine though, so who am I to criticize?

Cool vid.

[jrussell3176]

4-high is ok with stock tires maybe. You need to use 4-low when you have larger tires and stock gearing.

[Showtime10101]

Sweet, lol. Nothing like a lil momentum...
