well i decided to pop the cherry on my new tires and went out for a night run at Stave lake mud flats... needless to say 44 ruts with 33's dont fair so well...

when i finally realized "#### i am reaaaaaalllllly stuck" i felt my foot getting wet, sure enough mud water half way up the driver door and all over the floor!

broke 1 tow strap and finally got a beefy strap and just reemed on her to get it out, hoping to god i didnt break anything, probably will need an air filter, and it sounds like something else is on its way and this just pushed it over the edge and its teetering...

ill snap some mud pics tommorow..

good news, i was shooting 30 foot rooster tails off all 4 wheels trying to get out!
 






fan might of sprayed quite some mud all over the engine bay... good you were able to get out
:thumbsup:
 






....pics.....sounds like a good day of cleaning up then engine bay...good thing you didnt hydro lock it.
 






I did it with stock tires. Couldn't even tell I was spinning the tires under the water. Needed a new rear main seal, but everyone says it is unrelated. Too much to be coicidence, but I think the silty water that got up there chewed it up.
