Question Mudding

Does anyone have a list of pros and cons for mudding? Like, what could be the possible damage, and that sorts?

Well, that depends on how hard you plan on running and how deep you plan to go. You can mess up your electronics under the truck if you go in deep water, but other than that as far as light wheeling goes, you won't really tear up anything taking it easy, trust me I do it all the time in my 2004 Blazer. : ) Just be sure to get a hose up under it when you're done. Hope this helps.

mud gets in everything. every ball joint, tie rod, bearing, u joint. axles, if you have a slight leak.

i have a truck now that has only seen offroad for about a hour about a year ago and when i took the lock out off there was a little bit of mud in there.

x2. Mud gets into EVERYTHING. Every little crack, nook and cranny of your truck is going to be mud covered and filled.
Obviously, going off roading and mudding puts extra stress on all part of your truck. If you take it easy though and are smart about it you can have fun while not breaking anything. If you're scared about breaking something though I wouldn't recommend offroading. It's more of a question of when you're going to have something break and not If.
I will say mudding and off roading is a hell of a lot of run though. That is one major pro. The cons are pretty obviously. You're going to be much more prone to breaking parts.
