I went through it the other day when I saw you up there on Saturday. I decided to go straight instead of taking the side trail. With plenty of skinny pedal I got all the way to the far side and my front wheels up on the drop off. That was it though. That was as far as she'd go throwing goo everywhere. When I backed up for another run I couldn't even get my front wheels back up on the bank. I have a mud ring that goes all the way around my Jeep from it above the level of my bumpers. I am lifted 6 inches and on 33s. My tires were out of sight in the goo....LOL. Had to get dirty cuz my winch hook was under the surface of the goo. I hooked up to the nearest tree and winched right out but that stuff in that pit was nasty!! I will be ready to try the side trail next time...LOL!!

Do you have 4.88 or lower gears? If not those 35s won't help you get through this goo.

Ok unless some drastic action is taken like digging a trench or throwing in about 50 hay bales that mud hole will get bigger!!! The other way around is squeezing between the trees just to the left, which I have not even attempted yet. Looks like a body basher and lights crusher way too go. I'm sure the mudhole may dry out more in the summer but as for now I hope you got a tow rope or winch close by!!!!!!

What kind of tires are your 35s? The extra height might just do it for ya if the tread is aggressive. LOL...and the "trying like h**L" part, well, that is the FUN part!!

Hey, are you planning on coming to Elbe on Friday, May 11 for the weekend campout and wheeling run?

Dude, you need to write up you Jeeps stats and post some pics on your profile. I'm curious to see what it looks like now. If we've wheeled together before and I forgot you, I'm sorry. I'm an old guy and I have a bad case of CRS.

HAHAHAHAHA.....Dude, I gotcha. I took me a bit to figure it out. As you know I am an old guy...LOL. You did the same thing I did. Only you were smart enough not to put up an Avatar picture. So, it's the old type of blue jeep from Yakima, right??

I put up up an Avatar and my User name is pretty much the same because I think it is BS that I was banned or that you were banned in the first place.
