I got grabber ATX's on rusty and i just drug my 2500lb trailer with 3 low tires uphill in the driveway at the old house in a couple inches of mud.This is true. Here's an example..

This is a picture of my truck 'stuck' just about an hour ago. The ground is solid.. it's just the top inch or two is mushy once you put 2.5 tons on it. Even with the rear end locked the tires were just spinning. While I probably could of just put er' to the wood and spun my way to hell out of there.. realistically Needed 4x4.
I do have general grabbers.. but.. same difference.
Granted i was into the throttle...but they seem to bite ok in mud.
The BFG's will work in mud...just takes a ridiculious amount of wheelspeed to self clean.
I got my 97 250 (2wd) stuck in the yard once. It was soft and mushy from springtime melt and rain. I couldnt go anywhere untill i said "f*** it" and hammered it to the floor. Speedo read 55-60 (i swear i felt it go into O/D), mud, sod, stones flying everywhere...but damnit i came out.
This was on BFG's at about 60% tread
