Re: Thinking about starting a mud pit place...Need advice.

now if this is more for the public, then there's a lot more involved. If it's for friends and family then just go out wheeling. If for the public, you need to get insurance on your property to cover you for any issues that might arise. people sue people for the silliest stuff now a days. Are you going to charge the people? Then either it needs to be donations, or you need to check your zoning laws to make it a commercial section of the property. ect ect.

To get it all done very easily, a backhoe with a bucket on it really makes things a lot easier. And also you would need a water truck to fill it if it's not already naturally filled.

Now for a rig, a mud only rig, you need huge lift and tires. If you just cut the crap out of the fenders or remove them that lets you get big tires with minimal lift. You need a Dana 60 front axle and a 14FF for the rear both with some kind of locker. And a high horsepower motor. Also safety equipment to be on the safe side. I would recommend a roll cage as well as the standard helmet and 5 point harness.

If you are serious about this, This should be able to help you get into the spirit
