mud rig

JeepinCoastie · Nov 27, 2007

most of the wheeling i do is in the mud and sand and crap not a big rock guy .... whats recommend for a rig like this ...armor, accessories crap like that?

like snorkel probably a good idea...
rock rails ... not necessary ... or @ least i think

lockers, flares that cover your tires, snorkel, a front end skid (keeps mud outta the engine bay) recovery points front and rear

For mud I figure the biggest thing that ever stops me is the hump in between the ruts. So tallest possible tire you can fit, don't worry about uptravel and flex and all that stuff as much, usually it's relatively even ground, it's just muddy. I won't get into the narrow vs wide debate, but the tallest the better, and don't worry about gearing as low you want to be able to keep the tires spinning and cleaning IF theres a bottom to the mud.

At the end of the day it depends on the type of mud and where you usually find it that should dictate how you build your rig.

I wish i had all sorts of money to put lookers front and rear .... but i got an aussie for my d30 up front... i was informed that if i was only going with one the front would be my best option ... true? false?

flares ... wont the mud just build up underneath?

front ends skid ... is rustys the only one who makes one of these?

the only aftermarket axles seals ive seen dont work with a disconnect axle

I always thought a front locker would be better cause most of the time I get stuck it's coming up out of the hole when the rear has no traction and you get one front tire in the air.

Front end skid is definately a good idea never know what you are going to run into in a mud/water hole...
