I Took My Front Wheel Drive Escape Mudding - Definitely Need Recovery Points Before The Next Trip!!!

This is all about data collection. Before upgrading the old Escape to Four Wheel Drive we need some baseline data for how it does off road with only front wheel drive. You only truly discover what upgrades you need most by getting outside and pushing your vehicle's limits. All I can say is that recovery points are high on the list of future upgrades.

My first gen one wheel drive 4 cylinder was a beast in the mud I drove through w all the lifted jeeps and trucks and never once did I get stuck

[@markbaumeister4302]

Did surprisingly well for one wheel drive! Good times!

[@PaintedSpringsGarage]

It did better than I thought it would! Good times indeed!

[@noprouncle4705]

That's was some good effort from the one wheeler!

[@PaintedSpringsGarage]

I was mostly impressed with the Escape's performance! It certainly tried hard.

[@MatthewVerwys]

[@PaintedSpringsGarage]

We were all a bit surprised!

What did you hook onto at 9:27?

[@PaintedSpringsGarage]

I hooked onto the lower control arm, which was very difficult to access in the water. Since then I have fabricated a tow bar and winch on the front, and posted a video showing that setup.

Conditions are not favorable.

To say the least..
