I know this board is mostly geared towards hardcore rock crawling, but i think *some* of us are into mud too???

Personally, i am--its soo cool just burnin through a mud pit :D :rasta: :smokin:

BTW Woody, you dont have to tell me your opinon--I think i got the hint :D :D

After 15 years of four wheeling -- fauk mud:flipoff2:

mud can kiss my ass..hehe. its a bitch! plus i like the techinical, line piking aspect on rocks. whatever...:rasta:

I played in mud a couple times and I'm still finding adobe under the truck. I hate cleaning that shit almost as much as I hate rust.

Did get a pressure washer after one muddy trip tho. :)

Morgan

just wait a couple hours, ill show you some line pickin.....:rasta:

YOU WON A HY-STEER ARM YOU BASTARD:flipoff2:

-Max

i sure did..took me a month to realise it though..then i finnaly collected my prize..and sold em:rasta: . hehe...im happy w/ my x-over.

What about trail riding? I mean, I hate taking my rig in mud 'cause it'll plug everything up, and there's no rocks around here...I like to ride the trails and play in the sand!

And snow. Snow's good too (we just got 28.7" 3 days ago :-))

sorry guys, as much as i enjoy the rockcrawling, i love to goof off in the mud too...it's kinda like doing doughnuts in the parking lot. as for washing it...that's what the rain is for.

Yeah, i definately love trail riding too....thats how i started out!! brain fart for not putting it on there.

screw mud, to much of a pain to clean up. nothing like that crawling pucker factor! :D

easy there all y'all pretty boys! you gotsta pay to play, remember?!
personally, i love mud and i have a hard time resisting it. nothing like putting your foot down and then feathering the throttle to keep the needle right around 6K or so.
don't get me wrong, i did rocks just the same but every once in a while you just have to burry the pedal!:D

It must be nice to live where you have a choice? In Western Washington if you want to play on rocks ya gotta go through the mud. Unless you travel over to Eastern Washington.

Mud was fun to start with, but it got boring after awhile. I spent two years mudding in the Georgia swamps, and that muck was nasty! Plus it was a PITA to clean uo afterwards....Preventitive maintenace is a continual job cause water and mud get into everything...bearings, trannys, axles housings,etc...........
To me rocks are a bigger challange... But to each his/her own....:skull:

I live in snow.....it sucks

Mud is for kids, I haven't played in mud for maybe 40 years.....

Rocks are the shit ! Can't say enough about rocks, rocks are cool, and the best rocks are in beautiful places.....that makes rocks a beautiful thing .

Yeah, definitly rocks, rocks rock !

Mud=:rainbow:

Mud was cool when I was 16. Now it is too much of a PITA to clean. Gets in your rear drums (I know, I know:flipoff2: ), gets into every crack and crevice. Mud Blows. Now big ass rocks covered in slimey mud=North-East wheeling. Only mud I like.

Ross

When I was in high school it was ok but now its LAME!!!

We've *all* played in mud, but I think once you get into rocks, it's tough to go back. My worst beef with mud is the @#$%& clean-up, too much of a pain...besides, my first 15+ years of wheeling were in that oily, red clay mud that covers all of South America like snot. I still have nightmares of loaded Cruisers stuck for *days* at a time...

Forget it, I'm with Brian Swearingen, I HATE MUD!!

You guys need to come up here to Alaska...There's trails up here that RAWK! Seriously, I think the only reason I enjoy living up here is getting out in the scenery...And sometimes, I know you'll hate me for this, but sometime's it's actually better to get off whatever machine you're riding on/in and go off on a hike :) :) :)

yes snow...snow is fun..shoulda been on the poll. even w/o a v-8..or any hp for that matter..its fun. much less messy!

Where I live in Miss. is just past NoWhere. There is no snow sand or rocks. Only Goohy Sticky Gumbo Mud. and trail riding
So I guess I will choose Trailin. If that gumbo dries you have to chip it out.:mad2: :mad2:

I just like Wheeling! Any chance to get away from work. I do hate cleaning up after Mud though. Dragoneater, what trails do you run up here? Knik? PM me, gonna have to trail ride sometime. Bob B where are you in Miss?

I've gotta agree that the best mud is the crap that covers the rocks on most of the trails in the east. There are some trails that are mostly rock, and they are great, but for me, the mix of everything that the NE trails have (where the trails are still open:mad: ) is pretty great. Makes it tough, and every line is different from one truck to the next.

Plus my cruiser is way too heavy to play in the mud. sinks like a rock.

Damn Henry I wish I could find the pic of your truck here in that big-ass hole on the Fall Gathering run. At least it got further than mine!:D :D

:flipoff2:

Is it that obvious??? :D

I'll have to agree with Rabid on this. Up here in the North East, even our "rock" trails have mud. It makes things really interesting going from a mud hole to a rock with wet slippery swampers........ I agree that cleaning the mud outta the truck sucks but, it still adds to the challange of the trails....

I voted both in the poll, because I love the technical challange of rocks, but up here... we have lot's and lot's of mud.

That's why we run the big tires. It's kind of hard to get to the challanging stuff without going through the mud.

Ok, here we don't have rocks, but lotsa mud...
If we want to play, we have to do it in mud, so we do it...
Btw, what are "rocks" ? Never heard of that thing...:emb:

Who voted "mines gonna stay on the street"? If a cruiser stays on the street, THEN IT ISNT A CRUISER!!

Im gonna scan some pics of me muddin, will post them soon.

-Max

we gotta do muddin trail ridin, beach driving and sand stuff, all just to get to the rocks (if you make it)

the only thing we dont got is snow.......damn, i WANT some
down south they get some, but not right up here
wel got hill climbs, and all sorts of events

soon to be a big rockcrawling one coming in july im told, should be fun

Mud is the pits! I avoid it when possible, at least in pit/bog form. Many of the trails we run are woodsie with rock formations, can't always be avoided.

I don't mind getting a little on me, or the interior of my new tow rig. It's the hour at the car wash or in the driveway with the power washer that is just too much work for me.

Call me lazy, but as soon as I find a slide in camper that meets my needs and allows for the spares, screw tents and campsites too!

Let's wheel!

ok, the first one is of a j**p....but it does have a chev 350 in it:D

No j**p bashin cause they are our friends and are pretty cool people...we are the only cruiser in the group; oh well:rasta:

Heres the most capable rig in the group (the girl was on the passenger side when they went through a mud hole[huge]) the last pic will be of me in the mud hole....

heres pic one:

I SWEAR TO GOD IM GOING TO KILL TRIPOD!!!!!!

Rocks are where it's at!!
Mud is ok but way to much of a pain in the butt to get off, not to mention spendy, or the pain of trying to sneak into the car wash to get it off!( round here they get kinda testy if they catch you with lot's of mud in the car wash.)

ok, so tripod can lick my taint.....heres some images hosted by VILLAGE PHOTOS.COM!!!!!

Heres that first one i promised....
http://www.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=173880

I personnally don't know of any rocks to play on around me. So i have only played in mud and on some local logging paths. I know not very extreme wheeling but all i have seen so far!! :rasta:

"mud sucks" and "i hate the clean-up" sounds to me like a sure clue that you guys are gettin' damn old!
live a little!!!!!:flipoff2:
anyways, to each his own. i do like to wheel in all kinds of different terrain, that's probably why we drive for days just to go wheelin'?!:rasta:
it's a guy thing.;)

hey guangie i gotta agree with you, i havent seen any of these "rock" things around here. I think they must be all the mud dried up into chuncks.... i really hate mud... am thats all i have! washington sucks!!! I really want to try some realy rock stuff. maybe i will make a trip south. I was just kidding about the mud, it can be fun but the clean up sucks!!!! i gave up on plugging to keep it out of cab, cab is carpeted in mud\moss until i get around to scrapping it out. What i really like are the wet muddy kinda rocky hillclimbs... those are fun.
ben

My vote is for both! Here in NC we have trails like Tellico with some extreme rocks, however they are covered by mud. I think mud makes a good trails better because it can make for some very interesting situations.
-Jonathan

so did my fotos change anybody's mind about mud???
two problems w/mud....

1. The j**p that is coated with has a V8...and with mud on the rad. he gets kinda hot....

2. cleanup: all you need for cleanup is a good power washer; it only takes me like a half hour to get it cleaned up.


BUT DOESNT THE LAST ONE LOOK LIKE FUN?????:D :beer:
