If you’ve ever been mudding with a group of guys and gotten stuck, then you know the importance of a good snatch rope. On the UA, getting stuck is simply part of the trip. Bottomless mud pits seem to appear where you least expect them. To give us a hand when we needed a quick tug out of the swamp, Bubba Rope sent two Floridians, no strangers to playing in the mud. Sharing driving duties in the monster Xterra known as the Iguana was Ricardo Olavarrieta and Faron Tidwell. When the giant lizard wasn’t using the high-strength Bubba Rope to pull other rigs out of the muck, it was bouncing off the rev limiter and putting on one heck of a wheeling show.
