I hope you realise their are as many kinds of mud as there are kinds of soup from thin broth to sticky gumbo. No tire or truck can cover them all. Maybe you need those tracks from Real Wheels. Regards 'The Rebel'

Exactly. We've got this clay filled mud on the Corrizo Plain west of Bakersfield. You can get stuck in one INCH of the stuff! It is slimy and packs up on the tire. No amount of wheel spin will get it off. Just walking in it, you can get up to three maybe four inches of height because it's so sticky. It takes for freakin' EVER to get it off of your truck. It bakes on like cement.

So, the depth of the mud means nothing.

I am familiar with several ways of being stuck... Georgia clay that when wet is like slime... Pennsylvania Mud, black and soupy with a clay base if you get too deep... Kentucky mud which is brown and think...... Saudi sepka, as close to quick sand as i have ever seen, swallow a tank to the turrent is you miss the tell tale signs.... Iraqi mud pits where all the top soil collects and hides the water and will bury a hummer to its windows...

The most stuck I have ever seen is in Saudi when a hummer broke thru the top of a sepka and sank to the door handles. no other wheeled vehicles could pull it out ( 5 ton and 10 ton wrecker never budged it) brought in a M88 tank recovery vehicle and it pulled the tow pindle and frame cross member completly off. Ended up having a Chinook Heavy lift helo lift on it and an M88 pulled the front tow hooks... which brought it out. Thank is my standard for stuck.

I would have to agree that the Georgia clay may be about the worst I have come across in the states. Slippery and if you get in too deep it likes to form suction under you ride and that leaves you digging out. It is and unique sound to hear you vehicle get un-suctioned out of the clay. We were wheeling with a friend on Ft Benning in his jeep and we swamped it crossing a stream near a pond. We had to fend of a courious gator while winching it out

We should delete this thread for damage control purposes. We only want PRO Hummer propaganda here.

Thankyou.
