Truck guys GTFIH! (measly reps)

[EliteQB]

2 questions:
1. I have street tires on a 2006 4wd Dodge 1500, they're not stock, but are nowhere close to being for off road. With that being said, can I still go mudding? If so how do I do my best not to get stuck?

2. Where can I go to learn more about cars/trucks, I want to try to get into fixing vehicles and where would be a great place to start?
(a job would be GREAT)

Please no comments about how Chevy and Ford are better

It just depends on how much mudding you'll be doing. If it is really deep mud I think it would be hard but it wouldn't be that hard. Especially if you go with some buddies how have 4x4 to pull you out if you get stuck. If it is just some light trails and mud you'll do fine. I had similar tires on my Jeep and I never got stuck. Granted I never went into super deep mud. For the job I am not sure. Maybe you could start off getting a job at a local autozone or something for experience. Depends how old you are a buddy of mine got a job at Walmart in the automotive section changing oil and such and he didn't have any experience. Goodluck OP

Don't lock in your four wheel drive until you have to. Stay in two wheel until you start slipping then use the 4x4 to get out, it's a lot better than locking in your 4x4 first then playing in the mud because once you get stuck while in 4 wheel drive you're phucked.

Also, my truck has 2wd, 4wd lo and another 4wd setting, which would be the best to use when about to get stuck?

Use 4 low to get out if you're stuck. It's just gearing. 4 low is mainly used for crawling out once you're stuck and 4 high is for higher speeds for things such as riding trails or something like that.

Seems like the supreme redneck activity
