Reroute the air cleaner intake high up near the firewall, or as I do through he firewall to the drivers compartment (neatly and carefully) don´t cut any wiring harnesses.
Buy a hazardous material glove (long mantle) and put it over the distributor, spark plug wires and such through the fingure holes and seal with cable ties.
Depending on how often you mud and the bucks, replace the mechanical fan with an electric (with a switch) the fan throws mud everywhere.
Make sure all of your drvietrain components have high vent outlets (including the trans). High up near the firewall works best.
Always have the tools with you to pull and clean the starter. Lengthening the cables or rerouting them some makes removal much easier.
Tires with big lugs work best, a little wider in thick mud, tall and skinny in thin mud. In thin mud you have to find the bottom or you´ll probably get stuck.
At a minimum have a hose that connects to your spare tire (you can overinflate it a touch) to blow out any electrical (ignition) parts that get wet. And a long tow strap (a high jack is also really helpful).
Figuring out a way to outsmart the mud, is half the fun of mudding. And doing it on a budget. Cleaning everything with high pressure water and regreaseing will save alot of maintenance costs.
Had a VW buggy we nicknamed the submarine, ran just fine under water.

since i live in NC, mostly all i can do is play in the mud. So obviously my jeep will suit me best if it can play in the mud just as well as i. Now my tj is bone stock, so what should i ad to make it perform well in the wet dirt? What size lift do i really need? What size tires? How wide should the tires be? what brand? anything else that im forgetting?? alittle help would get me off to a great start, but keep in mind that i am on a budget! THANKS!!
