FireRescue,

Do you have a lift on your 2 door? If so, how much? And what tires do you have on?

Cool

I went to Camp Jeep with mine in 2007 and mine went every where. I went through the mud pit with no problem. I took it on the advanced trail and had a blast. We had an event in town that I drove people through the mud as shown in the picture. At Camp Jeep there was a Rubicon Unlimited stock that got stuck every where we went. It's all about the driver. Now mine had a 2" bb lift sitting on 35s but performed very well.

I played around in some mud yesterday in 4H and everything obviously was no problem, but because of the tires i didn't push it too far.
To compensate for the 3.21 gearing I was thinking 4L in maybe 2nd gear would be optimal for normal mudding. Correct?

Will something like this do?

Something like this (just an example) would be better. Its made of MUCH thicker material, and will hold the weight of the vehicle.
