I know this is a atv forum but i assume some of you guys have mud trucks.Im looking for one of my own.My dad has a blazer with 400h 350 crate(pics on my page) .But im looking for something different(not something so BIG) so if you guys have any veihicle recamendations let me know.Im thinking about a jeep.Something to beat the sh## out of.I will put bigger tires,cut fenders,take bed off(if it has one),and rihno liner it.Give me idea's guys,my budget for a mudder is 2,000.Thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

if you want a budget mudder go for a 86-89 suzuki samurai you can find them for about 800 to 1000.00 bucks they are very relible work great in the mud and parts are really cheap a clutch if i remeber correctly runs about 65 dollars.

I have seen them here at the local spot here in asuza california and these suzukis can take a beating or you can get a old blazer for about 2k but you are going to spend alot of money to get it to be mudder ive seen these blazers get stuck and the suzukis go thru the same spots like nothing but it up to you ohh and one more thing they get 25-30 mpg vs 6-9 mpg from a blazer with big tires.

 

Its funny you say that my uncle has one he tore the role cage out of.He took a 4-cylinder out of a mustang.Put 31-super swampers.We welded the cage.But your right great mudders.It sound like a *****d off bumble be without the exhuast.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

well maybe it broke beacuse he built it lol no just kidding but seriously they are pretty good machines ive seen this one guy crash his right into the side of a small mountain just backed up and drove off and ive never seen one get stuck ive seen the big duramax and powerstroke cummins & hummer h2's get stuck but no sammy's.

i wish i knew where you could get a samurai for 1k i look everywhere around here and they are much more .... anyway i bought a jeep cherokee. an xj. not the old ones that are so big. parts are cheap and the straight 6 4liters are great motors. good luck

 

Yeah,we have alot of trucks but our problem is once we get it we put to much $$ in it an then we wont mud with it.We do have our blazer(6,000 in it).My uncle has his samari(1500$$ in it).The suzuki is a little underpowered.And we dont have a locking diff in it yet.The blazer has about 4,500$ in the motor and 1,500$ in tires.A 100$ rihno liner paint job(spray can).Not many mudholes stop our blazer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

there is a easy fix for the samurai you swap out the old 1.3 and swap it for 1.6 from the newer tracker and it picks up like 35hp wich is alot for these little suzukis.

 

the prices vary ive seen them from 500-7500.00 it depends on condition milage mods alot of things put you have to look there are deals out there you just have to look lol.
