A lot of water and some dirt = FUN! 
PS My wife is still pissed about me splashing her with one of the little puddles at the bottom of the pic...Really, it was an accident.

I am in Florida! That is all we have here. The vertical pic is the biggest hill in the whole state.  They actually make swamp buggies (10' tall rigs with 4' tall tires) for this and the area that I am wheeling in is all access. (JW Corbett Preserve)

Now that's what I call getting wet and vertical.

That's a great pic!
Edit: Now that the angle has been established, it's not as great. Still good. Not great.

Lol Mx, sorry, it just didn't look right. I'm actually a janitor for a school and have a small stained glass and candle business on the side. I noticed the correct angle after I had posted my pic. I could see where the trees had been cut off right above the hood.
That would have been a truely awesome hill to climb though. I hope I can find some places in my area but I doubt there is much. I know one of the Cleveland Hummer dealers has a test course. I may have to go up there to try things out.

Yup I like that pic too. Does the obsession to play in ANY puddle we can find come from when we were little boys? Cause if my jeep even gets near a mud puddle I drive straight into it...Keep getting dirty !

Damn... you beat me to it.
Don't try to BS anyone, MX. Go take a picture of the hill with your H3 at the bottom of the hill. Take one from the front, one from the side and one from up on the hill looking down on your rig.
I have a feeling you'll have a bunch of excuses as to why you can't.

This thing just loves to climb! This is all the farther it would go because of the mud and lack of traction, but look at the spare tire/ground! I Bent/broke the license plate frame.

A) No BS, as stated above, the original pic is in my album. I know nobody here has ever photochopped for effect
2) No excuses for the quantity of angles desired. I would have liked more too. For that I blame the Photographer, and she was still pissed from the first mud bath I gave her...(see original post)

No doubt, the hill looked steep, but not that steep. Now MX, if you want to drive on hills that really are that steep, i think you need to go to Moab and you no doubt will have pics that really do show how steep they are. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

OMG, That's awesome! With mine only a month old tomorrow, there's no way I could do that to her....
oh and fellas, speaking from experience, you're not the only ones drawn to the mud! I'm not afraid to get it dirty, that's for sure. |

Wheeling on rain soaked vegetation is very tough. You probably won't get any traction regardless of what you do.
With that in mind, I would recommend sticking to designated trails. Trailbalzing through vegetated muddy areas proves to be unproductive and just leads to erosion.
