One of the more interesting places to go wheeling is the infamous Redneck flats better known as Stave lake mud flats. Here you can often hear the words "bet you can't" followed by something that would rival any monster truck shows.

Jason and his newly purchased Jeep YJ was itching to play in the mud all day. His first choice just happened to be one of the deepest, muddiest, water-filled holes dug out by numerous rednecks before him. Warning bells should have gone off when the mud pit was right in front of a line of parked trucks with 44's and not one of them made a attempt.

With adrenaline pumping and a few beers in his belly, Jason lined up to attempt the pit. Of course as soon as he lined up for his run hoards of rednecks - a few with camera's - lined the pit to watch the show. No turning back now, Jason laid the peddle down and made his best attempt but came up short as water entered and choked his engine. Jason, taking inventory saying his amp and speakers would be toast as water was still filling up the interior and his jeep was sinking!

Jason, understandably in a bit of a panic to get his truck out of the hole, remembered his tug 'em strap was rapped around his rear tire carrier and climbed out of the jeep. Mike, no stranger to getting down and muddy when wheeling climbed, into the frigid muddy water to grab the strap. Maybe it was because Mike felt guilty that he suggested Jason try the swampy pit!

The fun was over for Jason. After the jeep was extracted he spent the rest of the night pulling his spark plugs and replacing the oil.

This opened up the flood gate of rednecking as "bet you can't" was heard a few times more that night. Five more trucks attempted the same hole and all got stuck except the biggest redneck of them all, a monster Ford with 44" Super Swampers and of all things, a Keg of beer in the back!!!!
