Driving in heavy mud?

When in doubt throttle out!

 

I agree that it's best to keep the wheels from spinning and throwing mud if you can help it. Easy on the throttle and dance with the steering wheel. The only time I get into high rpm's is if I'm pulling a steep hill, then I'll pick a gear and get a running start at about 2000 rpm's and feather off the throttle as I feel the wheels start to slip, and hope I have enough momentum to top out before lugging it.

 

You probably meant Land Rover. Range Rover wasn't imported to USA until 1987.

Sorry mate, you prompted me with that date.

 

Driving in the mud is like any other skill.....

Some have it, and others should stay home.

 

No worries, I stand corrected.

Thanks.

 

Sounds like you did well if you got in and out. If you have to try to make a start in mud, start in a higher gear within reason. Multiplying torque on slick surfaces can mean just spinning your tires.

 

Oooh! You got the good stuff. Here is what our trucks looked like when we got back out from delivering those terex scrapers. It was worse than it looks in the photos. Your truck is way too clean.... LOL

 

Only time the cabover had super singles...

Nowhere to clean it off, let it fly... Cars didn't follow too close...

 

Kinda fun to watch huge chunks of mud come flying past your hood.

 

Or no hood!

That was one of those days where you were asking yourself who decided TODAY was the day we had to get this stuff out...
