Took The Sploder Wheelin

Took it wheelin at a atv/ohv park today. Burried it big time with the first hour being there. Took about 2 hours to get it out. It was a bottomless pit. Didnt look that bad wasnt any standing water or anything in it. Had to dig out around the fan about 3-4 times from the mud packed up in it and it started over heating and the winch was killing the battery. Had to pull a little and let it sit and charge the battery back up. Broke one of the "jeep" manual hubs. Also found a log burried in the hole and it jammed itself up into the fenderwell and stopped it from pulling out anymore. Hooked the come-a-long to it and got it broke off out of the way and finally got it out. Changed the hub and continued on.

Right when it sank


Started winching it

The path


Changing the hub


Rode around some more and met up with a guy with a chevy on 44's and rode around with him a little and he wanted to try out that mud hole. He came in from the other side and made it about half way across then burried it to the axles. It broke axle in it also. Got it winched out for him.



His ruts


Then a fourwheeler came along and decided he was going to try it. Came in the same way I did an it didnt make it far at all.


Rode around some more and winched a fourwheeler out of the river that sucked in water and wouldnt spin over. Got the plug pulled out and spun it over to get all the water out for him and got it fired back up.

Then found another mud hole the big chevy tried in 3wd.

First try didnt make it far.

Got it winched out again and he tried it again with a little more speed and a little different angle. Made it out of the deep part and it shut off on him. I believe it would have made it apart if it wouldnt have shut off.

Got it winched out yet again and got it started back up and called it quits. Had a blast. Definitely gave the winch a workout and it never missed a beat. Definitely reccomend it to anyone looking for a winch.

That place looks like some fun. So the Ex did pretty good overall, any other parts break besides the hub? I got a 94 4 door Limited that I'm going to build this spring and summer. I like how yours looks mind if I barrow some of your ideas

Yea, I forgot I also broke a front axle on the same side also. Believe it broke at the same time the hub did. But thats all.
