2wd mudding??? advice please!
 

ok, i drive a 1990 Chevy C1500 5 speed manual tranny, with 33x12.5" tires all around. do ya'll have any advice on mudding with this? i'm used to 4wd but when i bought this truck, i didn't have the money for a 4wd and needed a vehicle asap. well i've grown very found of it and i want to mud in it, but i'm not very sure about how to go around it because that only other truck i've gone mudding in was my 1978 K5 Blazer, 6'' suspension lift, 350, the works. any advice????

I used to play in the mud every weekend with my ATV and there was a lot of trucks out there. Unfortunately the 2WD's did not do very well and were constantly being pulled out. There was a younger kid that was out there all the time and was stuck more than he wasn't. To teach him a lesson (after many warnings) we just left him stuck one day and he had to call a tow truck to get him out. You can do some off roading but I would keep it in the dirt and sand not the sticky stuff. If you just have to - get a big winch that can be switched from front to rear and have plenty of straps. Good tires makes a difference to, but in your case just in the rear. The fronts you want to just float so maybe do some research on some front tires that wont dig in too much (if that is possible) - Good Luck and have fun!

get a locker in the rear if you dont already have one. open differential on a two wheel drive in the mud = one wheel pulling.

only if the axle is flexed... i dont go muddin but have caught my self out in the mud a couple of times, and it was nasty but i didnt get stuck, both wheels were spinning only time one wheel spins is when the axle is flexed... best advice i can give you is if you feel yourself getting stuck stop hitting the gas back up and give it another shot, you might have to rock your self out sometimes but DONT DIG YOUR SELF!!! the big tires will help i only have 285 that are in my sig and they do me justice and couldnt be more happy with them!
