Cool. Looks like the camera man was scared to get muddy on the first run. With that beast you have to run it in some mud bogg challenges.

That looks awesome!
You gotta come out here if you wanna get stuck. This is my friend Will's truck, he has no problem getting this thing stuck on 44"s.

Now that looks more like mudding!
I'm from central NJ, Metuchen to be exact. Theres plenty of places around here, just don't get caught! Thats the only thing that really keeps me from doing it more often.
All of these pics are from a very local spot we all enjoy, where the mud is always soft for feet deep and its that sticky gets you suction cupped in kinda mud. This is my friend dan's old Rodeo. Lifted ~2" and on 32's. In the last one, thats after I pulled him to dryer ground when he hydro locked the motor... It was windshield deep a few feet back.
It ran again with a new starter and cleaning out all the water and goup... but it had a bad knock, and that was the beginning of the end of that truck.




And here's a hole that looked like a little puddle, but as you can see it devoured 31"s of tire and put the truck on the frame rail, or it'd be in deeper.



It's fun getting so stuck you have to get pulled out and you work at getting out even with a strap!
