How To Lift A Mud Truck. (:

The Lift Of Mud Trucks.

There’s a very hard process in lifting a mud truck. You can start to plant the skinny pedal to the floor and make that rev limiter scream like there's no tomorrow! Never mind the gallons of fresh mud engulfing your rig, just keep working that wheel side to side until the muddy projectiles have reached their final destination and you have conquered yet another bottomless pit. For many of us this was the setting of our early 4x years as we mercilessly dropped our stock rigs into the biggest mud hole we could find, thus teaching us one of the most important wheeling lessons to date: Trucks don't float. Compared to building a rockcrawler or a high-zoot trail rig, mud bogging is traditionally one of the most inexpensive facets that off-roading has to offer. For the average guy, an entry-level lift kit with an aggressive set of tires is usually enough to satisfy his terra cravings, and as long as you keep the maintenance up on your rig (grease people, grease!), you should have years of goo-slinging fun ahead. Although we've seen plenty of mud-stomping rigs throwing down more power than a stock car, we've found that even horsepower-challenged rigs can make the cut when matched with the proper gear and tire ratio. Though common sense is king when tackling the deep stuff, here are a few tips and tricks that we've learned along the way that will help your bogger battle the muddy reaper for as long as possible. As a rule we like to keep our vehicle's center of gravity as low as possible, but when you're driving through 6-foot-deep mud holes it's easy to see why tall is good. In the suspension department your options are wide open, but for most big mudders, leaf springs seem to do the trick. And since articulation isn't as important, a beefy spring pack with a tall arch won't impede your rig like it would if you were in the rocks.

Mud bog a hit at fair

“Patrons at the Jefferson County Fair might have learned after Saturday that it was OK to throw a little bit of mud around - well, maybe a lot of mud. “ The Workers began preparation Friday night at the fair's arena by using an excavator to mix 8,000 gallons of water into the 200-foot-long pit to produce 175 feet of mud that was 2 feet deep and the perfect consistency. They are having this held to gather everyone up for this event.  Participants paid a $40-$50 entry fee per run through the mud pit for their trucks, which ranged from 15,000 horsepower down to street class. Winners received a trophy and prize money ranging from $50 to $400. There were seven competition classes based on tire size and horsepower and the object was to get through the pit with the fastest time or the longest distance. This event helps explain about mud bogging. You got a big truck, take it through the mud.

Did You Know?

Did you know that Mud Bogging is an off-road motor sport of four-wheel drives or 4*4 vehicles? "Chevy sittin' on 44's, pipes louder than glass packs, straight pipes ya'll know". http://www.lyrics.com/mud-digger-album-colt-ford.html One of the biggest lifted trucks were 3312.50's by a long shot with a lift of 680.00. I'm amazed how big people can make their trucks. It excites me! :D When I personally go out to the woods, I like seeing big and even small trucks trying to romp through the mud. Mud bogging isn’t a popular sport as football and baseball. The trench can range from 1/8 to a mile long.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG. (: !

My topic is on Mud Bogging. Mud Bogging is a very dirty sport. You’ll only be interested if you like the mud and trucks. I’m interested in it because I’m a country girl and I’m not afraid to get down and dirty threw the thick mud in jacked up trucks. Trucks amuse me and I like those big Chevy 30-inch lifted trucks with their romping sounds and the mud that’s being splattered from the wheels spinning and sinking deep into the mud.

With my interests, I will tell you how the trucks go against in mud bogging, what was one of the first places to start mud bogging, each and every different type of truck and their lifts, and the possibility to get out when you’re stuck in the mud.  The goal is to drive a vehicle through a pit of mud  of a set length. Winners are determined by the distance traveled through the pit or, if several vehicles are able to travel the entire length, the time taken to traverse the pit. The modern mud racer is a dragster-style "rail" design with a supercharged engine and/or nitrous oxide injection. To get you're truck threw the mud, you are required to have four wheel drive. Back in the day, early mud boggers were pick up trucks or SUV’s modified with lifted suspensions and larger tires. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, large tractor tires became popular and the drive lines required to run such tires led to some of the first purpose-built mud boggin machines. Mud bogging has gone from back yard mud holes to events like Vermonster 4x4, South Florida Slingin', Triple Canopy Ranch and Truck Night at Yankee Lake. Mud bogging is a pretty intense sport. If you’re intrested, buy and truck and go romp threw the mud.
