Here's some vids from the mudbog graveDigger had at his place this weekend.
It was his son's 16th birthday, and he threw a heck of a party. Mudbog, food, fireworks, and a lot of fun. There were probably 500 people there thru-out the day, and the parking spilled out onto both sides of the highway for blocks when the two fields got filled up.
When it started, the bog was so easy, a stock truck could have made it, but after too many were driving out, he churned it up, and it just got worse. By the end of the night, no one was able to make it past 3/4 track, with most like mine hardly making it more than 60 ft. And there were a few professional mudboggers there, and even a ford on 79" tractor tires. No, he didn't make it out either. It got so bad, they filled some of it back in just so SOME trucks could get past half track.
There was another dodge truck there, a 76, with a big block that did pretty good with swampers, and then he did it once and made it out with some 40" tractor tires.
There was also an 02 (I think) dually ctd with 8 tires... yes, he had dual fronts. The tires were 39" irocs. he madeit to the end, but didn't make it out cuz he folded up his tierods, and the fronts were pointing at each other.
I ran it in hi range 2nd gear, trying to get some speed, and I was afraid of bouncing the engine off the chip the whole way in low. I was gonna run it again in low , but when I was 1 truck away, they shut it down. That was a little after midnight, and it started at noon.
The line to run was 4-5 trucks wide, and 15-20 trucks deep. There were a lot of trucks there, ranging from stock explorers, to full blown transbraked mud racers.
This one is some friends of mine trying to figure out my camera.

This one is me running it in hi (should have been in low... probably would have made it out then).
