I took it mudding 2 days in a row. The first day I had a little trouble. I was about to pull someone out and then it died. I got I to start then I drove it home. Next day I go again and it dies, I dry out the distributer and cap and it starts but had real difficulty starting it. Then for no reason my brakes gave out almost all the way, if I press down really hard then it slows down a little bit. Any suggestions will be helpful and should I see a mechanic or is it easy to fix?

Thanks:
James

PLEASE take to someone for brake system check - before someone gets injured.
Dying can be a fuel, ignition or compression problem. The only way to diagnose the cause is to test these things while fault's present. Sometimes it's easy (experience helps immensely), and sometimes the fault can be VERY elusive to pinpoint. If you've still got the factory "connecter" in-line on your small ground wire from the batt.- Replace it with a good butt splice first thing.
