Recipe for Success
Excelling in the Tank Trap would require a healthy (preferably also waterproof) engine and really good mud tires for starters. Since it's basically an uphill mud bog consisting of a series of pits within a relatively steep mini-canyon, the midwest-mud-mobiles should shine here (but maybe not literally afterward). In actuality, a 6x6 CJ-6, a normal CJ-6, a CJ-7, and the Scorpion aren't exactly what we'd call mud boggers, but each indeed got its spot in the slime light. So did, less surprisingly, a K-5 Blazer and an F-350, both sporting the mandatory 44-inch tires. And then there's the four-banger Toyota show (no, really) pickup that tied for First in 1993. These days, a good winch is a near must to win the Tank Trap, and since you need a winch to enter TTC anyway, it may as well be a good one.
