can't get stuck

[jasonmolinar]

I am convinced that jeeps cannot get stuck. Everytime I go four wheeling I try to get it stuck knowing that that is what will prove it to be a climbing machine, and it has yet to get stuck. Mud bogging, hills, everything. The only place I have yet to try is the trails in moab. Which I will be going down there in a week or two

 

[superj]

they get stuck. my brother used to get his stuck almost everyday. but driver ability has alot to do with stuff

 

[Jester32]

You just need some muskeg. Then you will get stuck.

 

[jasonmolinar]

What's muskeg?

 

[Jester32]

It's really deep mud/water that has a kind of crusty surface. Basically it's like a bottomless pit. Haha.

 

[Jester32]

A fellow jeeper in some skeg.

i have yet to get mine stuck either. i have only taken it off road once and there wasn't that much to get into, so i don't think it counts lol. i would love to venture down to moab but i can't take the time off work or school yet.

 

[jasonmolinar]

I get two days off in a row every other week so I could go down there for like a day and come back up the next. It just seems like such a long boring drive from salt lake city

That looks rough. I don't know if I've seen anything like that around where I live though. But I know i couldn't make it through

Ya. That's what we wheel up here there's this and sand and lots of it lol. Boggers are our best friend lol. I am looking at a set for spring I just have km2 right now.

 

[jasonmolinar]

Haha I bet. I keep changing my mind on the tires I'm going to get next. I have maxxis big horns right now. But they don't seem to have as much tread as most other tires. I'm thinking the tsl bias ply interco or some Goodyear wrangler's

 

[extra-medium]

once i get the cash im either looking at the bfg a/t's or goodyear wrangler authority both in 31"

 

[Jester32]

Ya. If you wheel swampers are king. They don't last long on highway though. I love my km2. They work good wear good are quite on the highway.

 

[jasonmolinar]

Yeah. I like the bfg's alot too. I have 31's right now and they look so small and I've only lifted my jeep 2 inches. Haha. I really want some 33's. But worried about losin too much power

 

[Jester32]

I didn't notice when I went to 33. But I have a 4.0l. With 4.10.

 

[jasonmolinar]

Yeah. I have. 2.5L. So it kinda sucks. I've talked to this one guy at the teraflex shop here that says he runs 33's with a 2.5L and it runs just fine. He says the only time he has trouble with it is when he is running it on the freeway. And if that's the case I don't mind going slow on the freeway. Haha

 

[extra-medium]

i test drove a 98 wrangler with the 4 banger and 35's a couple years ago when i was looking to buy a car, and it wasn't horribly slow, but you could tell it put a strain on the motor. from a stop it wasn't that bad, but if you wanted to speed up to pass someone you might as well forget it.

 

[Jester32]

Ya it's not bad. Just lose 5th gear. A guy I wheel with has 37s with a 2.5. But he has 5.13 gears to.

 

[jasonmolinar]

I just want to run 33's. Haha. I want to gear to 4.88 but that's just way too much money right now.

 

[Jester32]

Ya. I wanna do 4.88 to. Get back my crawl speed in low. But I have an auto to it's not that bad.
