I just put a lift kit and 27 10 12 mudlights on the front of the big bear and 27 12 12 blackwater xt s on the back and tried the same pit that I got stuck in in the post stuck big bear. Although I still cant quit get through, at least I can back out of it now. It is clear that the machine can use some more bottom end power to turn those 27s. That little 350 works realy hard to spin these, but it still gets the job done. The engine top end is tired and it smokes badly for the first 5 min it runs, so I know there is some blowby and it is costing me power. Next thing on the list is a .040 over 10.5.1 JE piston, and a good 3 angle valve job on the head along with some very mild port work, hopefuly this will bump up the off idle power a little bit, maybe some stiffer cent clutch springs to make it engage at a higher rpm? Anyway, here is a video for you guys of me testing out the tires, enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fQwJXmAdgE

 

It looks like you have 3-wheel drive.

 

Nice Vid!

 

Nice hole!

 

Nice!!

 

If you'd pump the front break it would lock in that other tire long enough for it to help you out a lot.
