MudKing 450 Video - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Hey guys,

This is a video shot about 4 months ago in the bog back behind my house I've worked up. Pretty simple, but still good, though not as great as what you guys have. Shows what the capabilities are of a basically stock Foreman in 4WD. The only reason I got stuck at then end is because it's an uphill bank that's slick clay, which nothing can really make it up, except maybe some Vamps.

If you notice the tires spinning then stopping, then spinning in the end I was pulling in and releasing the front brake, but I didn't realize at the time that the front wheels stayed locked in the entire time.

I like the front brake trick. I use it quite regularly. Mine always
locks up when i do it. That is probably what keeps me from gettin'
a locker. That & i don't want to break an axle.

That was probably only the 3rd time that the 450 had been introduced to mud. And that was it's first try in the bog.

I've since taken it through the opposite way to avoid the bank, and made it completely through about 3 times, and I tried it again after all of the rain from hurricane Dennis and buried it up with the frame about 3" under. The Ramsey did a job pulling it out then. I hope to make another video sometime next week.
