Mudding Four Wheelers.When it comes to mudding four wheelers, most atvs will do a decent job with the right mud tire mounted. The best mud 4 wheeler would be a 4x4 atv. Any quad with a torquey engine and good forward bite will make it through most mud bogs without too much trouble though. Rider skill has more to do with mud riding than all the ATV accessories you can bolt on. How to Turn Your ATV into a Mud 4 Wheeler.ATV Mud tires.  This is a good example of a mud tire. Notice the directional tread pattern and the space between the lugs. The tire you choose depends a lot on the kind of mud you'll be riding in. The thicker it is, the more tread depth and space between lugs you'll need. The mud will have a better chance to "sling off". That's what they call self cleaning in the business. A larger diameter tire can also help by limiting the amount of tire spin. ATV Snorkel Kits.  A snorkel kit will be a good idea if you plan on riding in deeper mud or water. They basically prevent flooding your air box with muddy water if you go deep. If you've ever sucked water in an engine, you know why this is a good idea. If you haven't - well, just hope you never do. ATV Winches.  If you're going to be mudding four wheelers, you need a winch. One that has enough power to pull your stuck ass out of whatever bog you got yourself into. This is an example of one of the many atv winch kits on the market. Handlebar grips. If you're going to be in thick, slimy mud, you want to be able to maintain a good grip on the handlebars. There's nothing worse than losing control just as you're trying to miss that submerged alligator. We like the grips with a deep waffle pattern because they just seem to work better. Make sure you put 'em on with a good grip glue - They won't work very well if they don't stay on the bars. Cleated foot pegs. Pretty much the same deal as the grips. Only for your feet. It's pretty hard to stay in control of your mudding four wheelers if your feet are flyin' around like a C list celebrity auditioning for Dancing with the Stars. A lot of quarters for the car wash. This is probably the most important part of the whole deal. After all, you don't want your neighbors to think you're some sort of Neanderthal who goes out destroying the environment all weekend - Do You?
