I was going down the trail, roughly a mile long, that was the last mud hole....
I hit it at about 25, rather than crawling through it and when i reached the end my back end fell through the ice.
I couldn't go forward because my front tires were off the ground.
I couldn't go back because i was stuck on about 8 inches of ice.
Basically, none of the wheels had ANY traction!
Needless to say it was fun and i took it much slower the rest of the way back.
It is a jap, but its a 4WD, and it had a VERY hard time pulling me out. He had to do a 3500 RPM clutch bomb in 4LO just to get me moving, i was buried!!
And because i don't like jap cars that much either, let alone be saved by one, i have "good" news. The Nissan killed its clutch plated during the drop and is in the show now!
figured i'd update, i checked my rear fluid all is well, its a little on the brown/black side so i think im gonna change it soon, and i'll do the same for the front.
