4X4 Comparison Site

2-3 feet of mud. gonna need alot more than anything stock. a wangler stock couldnt touch that, maybe a unimog. heres a good test: get a yard stick, measure 3 feet up on ant 4x4 your looking at. if you run into any electronics, air intake, or even the bumper for that matter then it wont make it and forget about stock brakes, gearing, or anything else that you expect to work when you get done. people may argue the finer points of mud meets 4x4; but really if you have to ask it wont make it. you would need something lifted, with lots of power, oversized mud tires, etc. If your looking for your weekend camping trip wherer the dirt road has some standing water in places, then the difference in a fronter or tacoma isnt that great. Toyota has a good rep behind it, so I would go with that. but 3 feet of mud is probably up to your waist, and it takes a real beast to get through that kind of mud.
