If there's water involved stay slow, you want to make the swell go infront of the truck, not into the engine bay.
Now with mud, kinda depends on your setup, the key is to keep the tires spinning, this helps fling the mud out of the tread, so the tires don't end up looking like slicks.
Now momentum is another thing all together, you don't want to hit the mud at full speed, your ifs can only take so much, but you do need to be moving along once you enter the mud, so don't just drop in and gun it, more than likely you will get stuck doing that. I'm sorry I can't give you a mph that its good to hit mud at, its really a feel thing.
With my truck, I drop in and let the tires start digging. But my truck is also setup much different than a normal f150. And I like getting stuck.

I know what you're talking about. Once you go in mud in these trucks good luck getting it all out :P I took my gas tank skid plate off and dumped probly around 45# of dirt off it.... I could pick it up with one finger after it was cleaned.

I go through deep crap all the time. I got stuck there because my friends Jeep made some HUGE ruts and I got stuck in them.

How did you get in to that, it looked like you backed into it, did you go all the way accross and then get stuck?

Haha pictures can be decieving. Its actually dry about 5 feet back from where im at. The stuff in the back of the pic is where its real deep and we were trying to go around it. Initially I was all the way over that hump but once you get over that its straight goop. We were able to dig out the back tires the first time but the front tires got stuck when i backed off.

haha it is more time consuming than facebook your right. But nope no body lifts for me its suspension or none so im waitin for the money pit to get deeper so in about 50 years ill get my 6 inches gotta pay for everybody elses runny noses and crap like that now which greatly reduces the toy fund
