Orrs Mud Bog


One Happy Host


It was a cool overcast day, but no one seemed to care. The mud was good, if a little soupy, and people were happy. But what redneck wouldn't be happy at a mudbog?




This is the owners truck. It performed heroically with 40 inch tires, one ton running gear and a worked 400, but he actually ended up with mud inside the engine after getting stuck. The wave backed right up the exhaust after the engine stalled from a wet electrical system.




No problems with mosquitoes


























This guy didn't make it due to a wet distributor, but help was on the way.




Rescue truck came up and hit him without even slowing down... got him out though.















Here is an example of tenacity. He did not give up until he made it all the way through. Too bad his passenger didn't show the same fortitude.









The sun went down and the bonfire was lit, and another great time was had by all. Did I mention this sport freakin' rules.

Friends Truck

These are some pics of a truck a friend of mine is building. It started life as a late 80s F250. The frame has been shortened and the front Dana 50 has been changed out for a high pinion single wheel Dana 60.





The rear suspension is a custom 4-link hooked to a Lincoln locked Sterling 10.5. The frame has been shortened, and a custom shortened bed will go behind a stock regular cab.










The front suspension is the stock leaves with 1 inch blocks.





The tires are 38 inch boggers, and will surely move some real estate.






The engine is a fuel injected 460 that is stock except for mild porting on the exhaust ports, and a set of headers. These engines have great power, with 250 hp and 400 lbs of torque.
