Eric then found a way across with little effort,
just lots of RPMs and a locked diff. Paul in the
primered Jeep CJ5, just drove across like it was
nothing. Must be the Super Swamper Boggers and
the lockers.
My Yellow CJ-7 could have idle out of the mud hole
with just a little mud on the axles and MT SSRs but I
had the idea that I was going to get over to the other
side of the hole and come out on the side closest to
the stream. So I backed down and gave it a
shot. When the Jeep wanted to get locked into
the mud and it just didn't seem I was going to cut
over to get a good angle out of the hole, I decided to
get it over to the exit where I know I could get
out. But the ruts had a different idea. I
couldn't get it to turn the way I wanted and had to
throw mud all over the place. As everyone backed
away from the hailstorm of muck, I extracted the
Jeep. The amount of Mud on it afterwards was a
sight to see. |
