Got mud?
 
Yup, had an afternoon to kill so I went out playing in the woods.

This hole didn't seem to bad but about halfway across I dropped into a hole. :p

Swamped it good. Had almost 8" of water in it within 10 minutes :D
This was after I already pulled the drain plugs.

Winch pulled it right out and it fired right back up, even though it wasn't very happy about it lol.
You can see the water line in this one, it was deep. I had to crawl out the window and across the fender to get to the winch controls.

All in all I had a fun afternoon ;)

Good eye. It's actually a 2" budget boost and a 2" body lift. Super basic, and super cheap, but the 33's fit pretty well and it's gone just about everywhere I've asked it to.
I've swapped in a set of 4cyl jeep axles for the 4.10's but it's still a dog. I'm thinking 6.0 swap in the spring. Just need to get over to dons and see if the gm ecu will take the jeep vin. If it will it's game on that'll sling some mud. Yee haa!

You need to call me next time you do something like this. I bought a full size blazer and just finished the budget lift and stuffed some 35's under it. Right now it's way too clean! i have a gto for that swap, not a 6.0 but the 5.7 would wake that jeep up!;)

I already have a 6.0 lq4 sitting in the garage just waiting to go into something.
If I get that gto it'll stay whol and become my new daily ;) I couldn't bring myself to part one of those yet. Not for another 5-6 years at least lol
This was a spur of the moment trip but we plan some every so often. I'll gladly give you a heads up next time. We've got lots of trails close by where we live now ;)

Yeah Bird, I have a 94 Wrangler with a 4 inch suspension 2 inch body running 33's. But it is going higher in the spring when I can take it back off the road.

I keep fighting the urge. I really want to go 35's but then I ask myself why? Up until this instance I've never actually gotten it stuck, and even this time I deserved it lol.
Probably just gonna stay on 33's. It'll be easier on parts, especially if/when I do a v8 swap.

v8 36s full size truck axles run big back spacing on the street rims and then when you go off road swap on some 0 offset rims and get that flex and stability you want.

And eventually that's what I would like to do but for now I have other projects which I would rather dump the money into first ;)
