Hearing guys talk about the fun time they had over the weekend mud bogging can only last so long. Sooner or later a person is going to want their own truck so they can get involved. It's a lot of fun watching the decked out trucks go through the mud pit.
This activity has been around for years in the south, but it is starting to gain a following all over the nation and even worldwide. It has several names like mud bogging, mud racing, or some simply refer to it as muddiing. Whatever name sticks it is basically when off road vehicles are driven through mud pits to see how far a person can make it. The person that makes it the farthest wins.
Watch a few of the first guys through the pit to learn the strong and weak points of the pit. Don't be to eager to be the first one,let a few guys show you the mistakes they make. After info has been gathered then you greatly increase your chance of making it all the way through or at least going the most distance.
There are many videos online that can be valuable knowledge concerning tactics and discipline. Many examples of how it should be done and how it shouldn't be done (some of the best learning is want not to do). Some examples show actual racing, others simply show drivers fighting their way through deep, muddy holes or pits simply to prove they can take it.
The two things that are needed to get any event started are trucks with good strong engines and lots of mud. The more moisture the better and the larger area the better. If it's just a couple of guys out for the weekend any wet hole will do but if there are going to be spectators then a larger area may be required. It does seem to draw a crowd of on lookers.
Just starting out any truck will be fine but eventually upgrades are gonna be needed. The engine is always a good place to start,the more power the better. boosting the suspension will help eliminate the swaying that can lose traction.
Basically it seems to boil down to the tires being the most important of any good bogging truck . The more aggressive the tread pattern the better grip the truck seems to have, and the better chance of going the greatest distance. Also turning the wheels in a back and forth motion seems to offer fresh terrain for the tires to grab on to. A steady momentum seems to improve performance, changing gears often seems to lose motion forward.

Mudding truck videos can offer a lot of instruction on how to get great performance, also highlighting some of the pitfalls of the sport. It can get very expensive if you push the truck to hard. Things break and they have to be fixed before you can go bogging again.
