If you really want to go mudding then you better look at a tire change, those straight treads aren't going to take you very far!! With a more aggressive tire you don't have to run the truck as hard to get through or over things. The tires do the work.

i 2nd that u need atleast all terrains too get very far but u can go any way just too check things out just be prepard and bring a tow strap with ya so ur buddys can give a little tug when needed. if u do hit actule park trails depending on were u go most of em design there parks for friken jeeps only and its tight fits for us f150s ull get some dings here and there. one othere thing u might as well save ur self the trouble and remove those fiberglass crap step gaurds befor u go then u can sell em for a little bit. my 97 came with em with in a wk i had knocked em off LOL then there brakets get caked with mud and its a royal pain in the too the bolts off.

hey i understand that

i would go ahead and go just remeber go prepared
1. tow strap and a buddy with his truck
2. bumper jack
3. come along and chain

i would have atleast 1. but 2 and 3 arnt expensive and can be very helpfull when out playn in the mud but by far #1 is most important

Ditch the steps those will get tore off fast..

Radials arn't going to get you far at all... but if you go don't go solo or else you will get stuck. Tow strap atleast.

I mud my truck and offroad my truck hard............. and only broke a few things, Knock on wood....... Go for it, but don't get crazy until you know what your doing..

your not going to get anywhere with those tires, I don't even like going in mud with a/ts, just bring a friend and a tow strap
