Only if you don't mind getting stuck and laughed at by the other guys.

There is no reason you can't venture off into the muck as long as it's not too bad and you are with someone who can pull you out. A little bit of weight over the rear axle will help and a good aftermarket limited slip will make a big difference.

Yea, pretty much, but the tires your showing in your sig pic ain't gonna get you too far, you'd need at least a fairly aggressive A/T tire, no offense, but that meat is more suited for a soccer mom's suv...

You may want to upgrade to an Auburn LSD or detroit tru trac before doing this.

I heard just getting a 4x4 works pretty well too. Otherwise, anything other than some muddy grass has the potential of getting you stuck...

Yep, a limited slip rear end would help a bunch, it's on my list of wants for my 4x2, but that's just mainly for when I'm out in the snow... My truck is too pretty to get all muddy.... lol
