Sayre Starr Motors in Suffolk, Virginia Jeep JK in mud hole VA4WDA 3-24-2012

[@cleehammer1210]

Great video! What I like most about the video is that you know exactly what you are getting into. 1st and second time through... And your rig is 100 percent set up to do it. Winch is ready to go at all times. Nicely done and thanks for sharing. Gives us new stockers some ideas about what we need as we develop our rides. Go Jeep Go!

Vin Jeep Aspire to get stuck in a mud hole for someone to get you out? Dunno what folks get out of dipping their rigs like this in deep mud holes.

[@cleehammer1210]

For allot of keepers it's all about pushing and trusting the limits... Bury it to the axles and then try, try again. Usually an attempt like this is followed by upgrades... Bigger tires etc. It's a hell of an exciting way to pass the time and very addicting!

[@somegeek]

Vin Jeep Gotcha. Good luck! Happy muddin'!

[@carlospita7]

Great vid! Thanks for posting! I just bought myself a 2013 JKU and can't wait to get my new winch and play in some deep mud myself!! Can't wait to see what it can do! Looks like a shit load of fun!!!

[@paulsimmons5726]

My grandfather told me many years ago that any vehicle could get stuck in the mud but a 4x4 could get stuck worse because the driver usually thought he could make it... This video proves my grandfather's words are still true, he passed away in 1978. Grandpa wasn't a genius, he just used a bit of common sense along with a lifetime of experience.

[@rfreemanmodeling]

that was awesome! I've been cruising through KZbin to see what jeeps can really do and I'm beyond impressed with them. enjoy that ride! great video!

[@mikesmith5375]

I am glad to KNOW you were prepared with a winch! NEVER leave concrete without it.... Nice Jeep:)

[@mportkiller]

Also, the tires were aired down to 14 psi. They just have a pretty stiff sidewall. Two schools of thought on aired down tires. 1. More traction with less air, but only on rocks and obstacles in my eyes. 2. Loss of ground clearance when aired down. Even though you are putting more tread on the ground. Some people prefer a taller and skinnier tire for mud, so they can cut to the bottom of the pit for traction. Only thing that would have helped me is way bigger tires and more power from the motor.

[@mportkiller]

8500 lb has always worked for me and anything else I've pulled. The Jeep isn't heavy enough to pull anything while it's freestanding anyways. I always hook the back of it to a tree or put the front bumper against a tree to pull other people. Also, make sure that whatever size you get will fit on or inside your bumper.

[@LJ.613]

My 2 door had no problem taking 4 people for a weekend trip out of town. The hitch basket santa got me also means that cargo space isnt a problem at all anymore. And it can outclass any 4 door on the trails ;)

[@aerostadt4693]

I bet those radiator fins probably needed a good flush after that. I overheated driving home after doing the same thing on another trail. Im running a JKUR with 35’s on a 3.5 lift with a snorkel and a WARN 9.5. Fun stuff.

[@MikeRobinson38]

Nice Man, I just bought an 07 Wrangler Unlimited, 4 inch lift 35" Mickey Thompson Baja's, hopefully its a wet and muddy spring

[@mportkiller]

I like the lift there because it can't get buried in the mud. If it were tailgate mounted, it adds extra weight to the gate that already has a 35" tire on it. I have too much stuff inside to mount it in there, and it gets in the way in the cargo area. It is bolted on the hood and I have never heard of one coming off in an accident. The same could also be said about adding a steel bumper with brush guard and a winch. I don't think anyone you hit would appreciate that over a plastic bumper either.

[@richardburns9772]

No, the door seals on the Jeep are thicker than normal vehicles so that you can go through water to a certain depth. I don't have any carpet in the Jeep anyway, but no water came in during this.

What is the other off road vehicle you're talking about? Also, what do you use for off roading? I don't see anything posted under your account of you tearing it up in any vehicle.

[@mportkiller]

Pure luck. I now have the Rugged Ridge modular snorkel, so I'm not worried about it any more.

[@716Flat4]

you are lucky you didnt suck water in your airbox. i was surprised it didnt stall out when you first sank in and that water came up over the hood. i have been in a similar situation with my jeep and got lucky too....my poor friend went through one the other day and now has about 1800 in repairs.

[@ronboatwright505]

I'm curious to know how was the winch operated after it was engaged for buddy to pull the jeep out? I understand the opposite end securing the cable or line around the tree with the shackle.

[@mportkiller]

I used my winch to pull myself out. Winch always functioned flawlessly.

[@TheDarthEmperor]

Talk about insane off roading!!

[@mportkiller]

They are the old Goodyear M/T pattern. They aren't as aggressive as a super swamper of anything, but I drive it daily and it isn't really worth the money to me to wear out such a soft tire. Some day I might run into a good deal and have tires for off road use only.

[@JohnAdams-tw1xi]

Why are there so many loser haters in this comment section. This guy is having fun, living life while you're all hating on the internet.

[@mportkiller]

That I recall, it didn't seem like anyone got too close when it was under a heavy load. When the slack came out I advised them to move back again before it got tight again. But you can never be too careful around a winch line.

[@R3putaytion13]

and all of that muddy water doesnt damage the braking system? Like no water in the brake lines or ruining the cylinders that push down on the brake pad?

[@GuillermoRamon55]

Good winching! That looked like a lot of fun.

[@mportkiller]

The door seals held up great. Not a drop of water inside.

[@justincase2281]

Just came across this 9 years after. Good thing he had the winch. But ya gotta ask... Why didn't he just go around and use the little bridge?! Why take the chance of getting mired in?!! Hmm.🤔

[@TwoWheeledBooBear]

Trimmed. Pretty easy job, too. Get some masking tape, chalk, a few cut off wheels, a utility knife with some extra blades, and a roll of black door trim from Autozone. Mask off the line you want to cut, and mark it with the chalk. Hit it with the grinder, cut off the excess (the flares melt and goo up a bit so you'll have to clean it up with the utility knife) and then add your door trim to the edges to get a nice clean look.

[@mportkiller]

That's my second time doing it that day. I needed the video. I also have a winch for a reason, I made it through under my own power. How will you ever know your limits if you never try to go past what you think they are? That must explain why you don't have any video of you doing anything in your Jeep. Maybe you could put a video of you doing some mall crawling. We can keep this going, but I just ask that you post something of you wheeling that's worth a damn before we continue.

So here's an update on my Jeep. After this video, I have not had any transmission issues. I did have some overheating issues most likely due to mud clogged from numerous bouts with mud in the radiator fins. That motor began to leak oil into the catalytic convertors on the passenger side. I replaced that motor in April of 2014, along with the full Y pipe and cracked manifolds. I hadn't wheeled for a year, and that motor broke the camshaft and was covered under warranty in April of 2015. This motor is doing fine so far. This is now the 4th motor in my 2007 Jeep. 1st motor replaced by Jeep for main bearing or something, 2nd motor over heating and oil issues, 3rd motor camshaft after 8k miles, and now I have 3k miles on this one and it's running fine. Only other major repairs to my Jeep since this video were Rubi axles with 5.13 gears since I bent an upper C on the front axle at Rausch Creek a couple years ago. I have recently replaced the radiator fan and the Jeep runs much cooler now. Ready to start making videos again when I get the time and money to go some places.

The cost of wheeling was high in this case. Was it a daily driver?

[@mrhupen]

Did you have overheating problems after the mud dried in your radiator?

[@mportkiller]

I installed it myself. It is the Rugged Ridge snorkel. It is cheaper than the others, and it doesn't require cutting the hood. Just pull off the piece of your cowl and it goes there. The part can go back on if you decide to sell the Jeep. If you want help installing something, just join a forum like JKFreaks.com and hook up with some locals and a mod party.

[@mportkiller]

It's a Rugged Ridge 8500. I am really happy with it, and for the money, it has really worked well. I would buy another one if it ever quit working.

[@chrisdieck]

can some on please explain me, is the motor supposed to be smoking?? serious question

[@ldcrallye]

I find the the highjack a bit dump mounted on the front, takes view and in case of a crash you throw heavy metal directly into the windows of your accident opponent. Not SOOOO nice. Hint: remove much more air from the tires, then you need no winch. thnx Tom

[@tomitstube]

curious since you cut the camera before you opened the door, those doors keep the water out? i know it can get up thru the vents. you have water inside or it that thing water tight?

[@JBBunno]

Even the JK has its limits, how did the door seals hold up?

[@SuperMattstube]

what kind of bumper and winch do you have

[@mportkiller]

In case you want educated further, I posted definitions for off road vehicle. Wikipedia: An off-road vehicle is considered to be any type of vehicle which is capable of driving on and off paved or gravel surface. It is generally characterized by having large tires with deep, open treads, a flexible suspension, or even caterpillar tracks Dictionary designed, built, or used for traveling off public roads, especially on unpaved roads, trails, beaches, or rough terrain: an off-road vehicle

[@mportkiller]

I really like rocks too...less clean up. My buddy just fried his manual for the second time in mud by shifting and bringing in mud and water. Hopefully I'll get good video of some rock crawling next wheeling trip I do.

[@mportkiller]

He had all the breather tubes extended, but didn't know his drive shaft had worn a hole in his transmission breather tube. I guess it was just bad luck and his bad way of running that line. Mine aren't extended yet, but will be in about a month when I put new diff covers on and fresh fluids in everything.

[@mportkiller]

Sorry if I read your smiley face as sarcastic, which I did. Like I said, the JK has the break over advantage and turning radius. The JKU is better on hill climbs and I believe the wheelbase is better for rock crawling. That is why most of your competion rock crawlers are streched. I'm not defensive until I feel attacked. So I responded. I will settle for going in reverse once or twice to make a turn, or giving it more gas to break over a hill so I can tow my camper, pack more gear, and people.
