Great video! What I like most about the video is that you know exactly what you are getting into. 1st and second time through... And your rig is 100 percent set up to do it. Winch is ready to go at all times. Nicely done and thanks for sharing. Gives us new stockers some ideas about what we need as we develop our rides. Go Jeep Go!
For allot of keepers it's all about pushing and trusting the limits... Bury it to the axles and then try, try again. Usually an attempt like this is followed by upgrades... Bigger tires etc. It's a hell of an exciting way to pass the time and very addicting!
My grandfather told me many years ago that any vehicle could get stuck in the mud but a 4x4 could get stuck worse because the driver usually thought he could make it... This video proves my grandfather's words are still true, he passed away in 1978. Grandpa wasn't a genius, he just used a bit of common sense along with a lifetime of experience.
Great vid! Thanks for posting! I just bought myself a 2013 JKU and can't wait to get my new winch and play in some deep mud myself!! Can't wait to see what it can do! Looks like a shit load of fun!!!
Also, the tires were aired down to 14 psi. They just have a pretty stiff sidewall. Two schools of thought on aired down tires. 1. More traction with less air, but only on rocks and obstacles in my eyes. 2. Loss of ground clearance when aired down. Even though you are putting more tread on the ground. Some people prefer a taller and skinnier tire for mud, so they can cut to the bottom of the pit for traction. Only thing that would have helped me is way bigger tires and more power from the motor.
My 2 door had no problem taking 4 people for a weekend trip out of town. The hitch basket santa got me also means that cargo space isnt a problem at all anymore. And it can outclass any 4 door on the trails ;)
8500 lb has always worked for me and anything else I've pulled. The Jeep isn't heavy enough to pull anything while it's freestanding anyways. I always hook the back of it to a tree or put the front bumper against a tree to pull other people. Also, make sure that whatever size you get will fit on or inside your bumper.
So here's an update on my Jeep. After this video, I have not had any transmission issues. I did have some overheating issues most likely due to mud clogged from numerous bouts with mud in the radiator fins. That motor began to leak oil into the catalytic convertors on the passenger side. I replaced that motor in April of 2014, along with the full Y pipe and cracked manifolds. I hadn't wheeled for a year, and that motor broke the camshaft and was covered under warranty in April of 2015. This motor is doing fine so far. This is now the 4th motor in my 2007 Jeep. 1st motor replaced by Jeep for main bearing or something, 2nd motor over heating and oil issues, 3rd motor camshaft after 8k miles, and now I have 3k miles on this one and it's running fine. Only other major repairs to my Jeep since this video were Rubi axles with 5.13 gears since I bent an upper C on the front axle at Rausch Creek a couple years ago. I have recently replaced the radiator fan and the Jeep runs much cooler now. Ready to start making videos again when I get the time and money to go some places.
I thought those things were bullet proof... making me think twice about grabbing a wrangler... If i want a car that keeps breaking i have my mustang for that... :/
I bet those radiator fins probably needed a good flush after that. I overheated driving home after doing the same thing on another trail. Im running a JKUR with 35’s on a 3.5 lift with a snorkel and a WARN 9.5. Fun stuff.
No, the door seals on the Jeep are thicker than normal vehicles so that you can go through water to a certain depth. I don't have any carpet in the Jeep anyway, but no water came in during this.
Never drained any of it, and everything is still fine. Front and rear differential fluid will be changed soon when I get new covers though. Also extending the breather tubes when my snorkel gets here.
Trimmed. Pretty easy job, too. Get some masking tape, chalk, a few cut off wheels, a utility knife with some extra blades, and a roll of black door trim from Autozone. Mask off the line you want to cut, and mark it with the chalk. Hit it with the grinder, cut off the excess (the flares melt and goo up a bit so you'll have to clean it up with the utility knife) and then add your door trim to the edges to get a nice clean look.
In case you want educated further, I posted definitions for off road vehicle. Wikipedia: An off-road vehicle is considered to be any type of vehicle which is capable of driving on and off paved or gravel surface. It is generally characterized by having large tires with deep, open treads, a flexible suspension, or even caterpillar tracks Dictionary designed, built, or used for traveling off public roads, especially on unpaved roads, trails, beaches, or rough terrain: an off-road vehicle
I like the lift there because it can't get buried in the mud. If it were tailgate mounted, it adds extra weight to the gate that already has a 35" tire on it. I have too much stuff inside to mount it in there, and it gets in the way in the cargo area. It is bolted on the hood and I have never heard of one coming off in an accident. The same could also be said about adding a steel bumper with brush guard and a winch. I don't think anyone you hit would appreciate that over a plastic bumper either.
That I recall, it didn't seem like anyone got too close when it was under a heavy load. When the slack came out I advised them to move back again before it got tight again. But you can never be too careful around a winch line.
Amen to that jeeps are made for that idk what that guy is talking about. Im not an off road kinda guy but i enjoy jeeps and am thinking about getting one.
Nice winchout... but I must say, I think I'd have just gone around it, knowing that there wasn't a chance in He double hockeystix that you were gonna make it through.
I installed it myself. It is the Rugged Ridge snorkel. It is cheaper than the others, and it doesn't require cutting the hood. Just pull off the piece of your cowl and it goes there. The part can go back on if you decide to sell the Jeep. If you want help installing something, just join a forum like JKFreaks.com and hook up with some locals and a mod party.
ive had 4x4 since i was 15 im 50 now ive neave had a problem with a cluch not releasing or messing up if u going to play in the mud u seal everything up4 in cluding the belll housing inspection plate . ive had water over the hood no problem at all .
you are lucky you didnt suck water in your airbox. i was surprised it didnt stall out when you first sank in and that water came up over the hood. i have been in a similar situation with my jeep and got lucky too....my poor friend went through one the other day and now has about 1800 in repairs.
+Matt Sayre So Rick Dangerous is right. Don't buy used jeeps. lol That would suck for the person that will buy a jeep that went through that or worst. So much for carfax.
when ever hit a trail like that and i have no idea the depth...i always place drivers side wheel down the center of the trail. cause most likely the ruts are deep and once u bottom out u're done.
They are the old Goodyear M/T pattern. They aren't as aggressive as a super swamper of anything, but I drive it daily and it isn't really worth the money to me to wear out such a soft tire. Some day I might run into a good deal and have tires for off road use only.
They are from River Raider and have a skull machined into them. Most people put the handle toward the front of the Jeep and the sprayer doesn't hit it. Mine doesn't hit it at all.
I find the the highjack a bit dump mounted on the front, takes view and in case of a crash you throw heavy metal directly into the windows of your accident opponent. Not SOOOO nice. Hint: remove much more air from the tires, then you need no winch. thnx Tom
I really like rocks too...less clean up. My buddy just fried his manual for the second time in mud by shifting and bringing in mud and water. Hopefully I'll get good video of some rock crawling next wheeling trip I do.
This dealership is a little different then most. Has a small off road park in the back and a full off road shop that does pretty much everything. Ive used them for a coupe of years now even with our diesel jeep that no dealer knows how to work on.
He had all the breather tubes extended, but didn't know his drive shaft had worn a hole in his transmission breather tube. I guess it was just bad luck and his bad way of running that line. Mine aren't extended yet, but will be in about a month when I put new diff covers on and fresh fluids in everything.
Sorry if I read your smiley face as sarcastic, which I did. Like I said, the JK has the break over advantage and turning radius. The JKU is better on hill climbs and I believe the wheelbase is better for rock crawling. That is why most of your competion rock crawlers are streched. I'm not defensive until I feel attacked. So I responded. I will settle for going in reverse once or twice to make a turn, or giving it more gas to break over a hill so I can tow my camper, pack more gear, and people.
I will be buying more. I have had mine for a year and a half and still have 3/8" tread. You can'tbeat them for the money. They have worn very even too. Sorry for the late response.
That's my second time doing it that day. I needed the video. I also have a winch for a reason, I made it through under my own power. How will you ever know your limits if you never try to go past what you think they are? That must explain why you don't have any video of you doing anything in your Jeep. Maybe you could put a video of you doing some mall crawling. We can keep this going, but I just ask that you post something of you wheeling that's worth a damn before we continue.
Just came across this 9 years after. Good thing he had the winch. But ya gotta ask... Why didn't he just go around and use the little bridge?! Why take the chance of getting mired in?!! Hmm.🤔
It is to far out to the middle to check it with a stick, plus I already knew how deep it was. This was the second time I went in it that day, since I didn't get a good video the first time.
See that hill in the background with all the rocks on it? I would drive 2 miles out of my way to get around that mud hole to get to it. To each there own.
I like rocks too, this is just a video in a mud hole. I didn't have anyone to take the rock crawling video last time I went and the Jeep mounted camera didn't get very good footage. Next time I will post a rock crawling video for you.
Great video! What I like most about the video is that you know exactly what you are getting into. 1st and second time through... And your rig is 100 percent set up to do it.

Vin Jeep Aspire to get stuck in a mud hole for someone to get you out? Dunno what folks get out of dipping their rigs like this in deep mud holes.
For allot of keepers it's all about pushing and trusting the limits... Bury it to the axles and then try, try again. Usually an attempt like this is followed by upgrades... Bigger tires etc. It's a hell of an exciting way to pass the time and very addicting!

Great vid! Thanks for posting! I just bought myself a 2013 JKU and can't wait to get my new winch and play in some deep mud myself!! Can't wait to see what it can do! Looks like a shit load of fun!!!
But he came out of it knowing a lot more about his Jeep, what it can handle and not handle, etc. Kudos!
This folks is why you never want to buy a used jeep.
falcondriver100
falcondriver100 you have to be stupid to do shit like that.
If you do this to a new jeep do it on a test drive then take it back.
I should know. But I still love it thousands later
If you had a CJ 5 that Mud Hole would of been No Problem !!
Bought a jeep in 2017 never looked back. You rocked that shit. No fear!
Also, the tires were aired down to 14 psi. They just have a pretty stiff sidewall. Two schools of thought on aired down tires. 1. More traction with less air, but only on rocks and obstacles in my eyes. 2. Loss of ground clearance when aired down. Even though you are putting more tread on the ground. Some people prefer a taller and skinnier tire for mud, so they can cut to the bottom of the pit for traction. Only thing that would have helped me is way bigger tires and more power from the motor.
I wanted to see him open the driver door.
Dont worry that thing was surely up to his ass in muddy water inside.
My 2 door had no problem taking 4 people for a weekend trip out of town. The hitch basket santa got me also means that cargo space isnt a problem at all anymore.
And it can outclass any 4 door on the trails ;)
8500 lb has always worked for me and anything else I've pulled. The Jeep isn't heavy enough to pull anything while it's freestanding anyways.

The cost of wheeling was high in this case. Was it a daily driver?
Yes, and still is.

Your lucky your engine didnt flood from ur exhaust pipe being submerged
I thought those things were bullet proof... making me think twice about grabbing a wrangler... If i want a car that keeps breaking i have my mustang for that... :/
I do love the fact that its a dealership that is hosting this event.
I am glad to KNOW you were prepared with a winch! NEVER leave concrete without it.... Nice Jeep:)
I really like that he marked the mud on his jeep. He needs to put a sticker at that mark "Below good. Above bad."
Jeep best offroad vehicle in the world and never gets stuck
You're lucky! My friends and I have a rule; "you got it stuck, you're walking in the mud"
nice rig,nice vid olllllllo
The guy who ran back to the other truck is the real hero
Badass truck
Yeah..! Awesome winch. It's relaxing 😎
that was awesome! I've been cruising through RUclips to see what jeeps can really do and I'm beyond impressed with them. enjoy that ride! great video!
The only late model Jeep owner to ever get his Jeep muddy.

I feel ya bro. These kinds of "puddles" are my worst nightmare on the trail
I bet those radiator fins probably needed a good flush after that. I overheated driving home after doing the same thing on another trail. Im running a JKUR with 35’s on a 3.5 lift with a snorkel and a WARN 9.5. Fun stuff.
Why in the fuck would you ever do that to a jeep? Nose dive into mud? Smart move..
James Malone lmfao
James Malone okyes
I do that in water to wash off the mud lolol
Jeeps don't get stuck. They allow the competition to catch up.
No, the door seals on the Jeep are thicker than normal vehicles so that you can go through water to a certain depth. I don't have any carpet in the Jeep anyway, but no water came in during this.

Why would you run your Jeep in a big hole like that knowing you cant make it through it.
Maroon seems to be the best color for getting stuck. :-)
I now have a snorkel and can't wait to do this again.

That was fun to watch, and shows the reason for a winch!
How come the only thing I can find on wranglers is videos of them getting stuck?
Looks like a lot of fun great upload👍
Amen to that jeeps are made for that idk what that guy is talking about. Im not an off road kinda guy but i enjoy jeeps and am thinking about getting one.
when I saw that front end go down instantly looked for a snorkle then said "OH NO!" then he was able to get it up out high enough lol
+FlubahDub yea i think had the water been less muddy/thick it might have hydro-locked it up so that saved him here!
It's a Rugged Ridge 8500. I am really happy with it, and for the money, it has really worked well. I would buy another one if it ever quit working.
These Jeeps can't take a beating the old ones was the best the inline six 4.0L
OMG we are def reposting this.This is insane
Nice winchout... but I must say, I think I'd have just gone around it, knowing that there wasn't a chance in He double hockeystix that you were gonna make it through.
Does that smoke mean something bad is happening
Pure luck. I now have the Rugged Ridge modular snorkel, so I'm not worried about it any more.
I installed it myself. It is the Rugged Ridge snorkel. It is cheaper than the others, and it doesn't require cutting the hood. Just pull off the piece of your cowl and it goes there. The part can go back on if you decide to sell the Jeep. If you want help installing something, just join a forum like JKFreaks.com and hook up with some locals and a mod party.
That just convinced me to buy a Jeep wrangler.
FWI shifting gears with the transmission submerged lets water into the transmission.
really ? how stupid are u its a sealed unit.
If it's a stick, and the mud is thick enough, It'll lock up your clutch when you push it in to change gears. Ask me how I know.
ive had 4x4 since i was 15 im 50 now ive neave had a problem with a cluch not releasing or messing up if u going to play in the mud u seal everything up4 in cluding the belll housing inspection plate . ive had water over the hood no problem at all .
The door seals held up great. Not a drop of water inside.
You need a snorkel kit on that beauty
Nice Man, I just bought an 07 Wrangler Unlimited, 4 inch lift 35" Mickey Thompson Baja's, hopefully its a wet and muddy spring
you are lucky you didnt suck water in your airbox. i was surprised it didnt stall out when you first sank in and that water came up over the hood. i have been in a similar situation with my jeep and got lucky too....my poor friend went through one the other day and now has about 1800 in repairs.
Awesome winch ! Don't leave home without it. Jeep is optional.
And THAT.... is why you don't buy used jeeps...
***** probably right
Nothing is gonna show up on Carfax since I do all my own work.
+Matt Sayre So Rick Dangerous is right. Don't buy used jeeps. lol That would suck for the person that will buy a jeep that went through that or worst. So much for carfax.
That's comforting.
😂😎👍Perfect condition,only 55000 miles
That guys like... already, I know what to do. Get the winch lol
Holy crap, surprised no water came in, forget the winch, just slap an outboard on the back and you can take her around the lake! LOL
Remind me never to buy a car off of you
when ever hit a trail like that and i have no idea the depth...i always place drivers side wheel down the center of the trail. cause most likely the ruts are deep and once u bottom out u're done.
This happened to me on accident once. I now carry a stick to test the depth of those strange puddles
Brutuszilla just make someone else go first.
yeah every group has a jag'off friend willing to hit water/mud holes first. then u can accurately traverse the trail with confidence lol
And that's why Winches rock.
Good winching! That looked like a lot of fun.

Lol nice wench. If only they could talk during vehicle sales.
See that hill in the background with all the rocks on it? I would drive 2 miles out of my way to get around that mud hole to get to it. To each there own.
FIXED:
Jeep + Winch = arguably a great off road vehicle that occasionally gets stuck
And that there is why you have a winch. Nice job.
I like rocks too, this is just a video in a mud hole. I didn't have anyone to take the rock crawling video last time I went and the Jeep mounted camera didn't get very good footage. Next time I will post a rock crawling video for you.
Wat a beautiful jeep
Yahoooooo that's digging done wright !
i had a charger srt8 got tickets, traded it for the jeep and now im gonna hook it up, but im already playin legally with it hahaha

Wow deeper than it looked huh?
So far so good, but I know I am pushing my luck without extended breather tubes.
