I've got an isuzu with a diesel in it but, it's lack balls. Plenty of torque. If you wanna crawl it's great but, not much fun slinging mud.

put 2 and 2 together on this one.

massive torque + no traction = CRAP

you're trying to gain traction in the mud, not completely lose it.

alright man... it just seems that the more torque the vehicle has the better it does in the mud that is from what I have seen

I don't have any pics. It's just an old 83 isuzu P'up. 2.2 liter of non-turbo torque. It smokes under acceleration pretty bad. Just keep it parked in hte back yard for hauling yard clipping and home depot runs. Just thought i'd add my two cents.
