Playing in the Mud

It was pretty rainy and wet here in the Denver Metro the last couple of days, so I decided to take the old dodge mudding (76 3/4ton w/full time 4x4). I was having a blast, puddles 2-3 feet deep nothing serious, (just trying to get her good and dirty!!) have to drive to work...

Well, I was coming around a corner at about 20-25 mph, and I was about five feet from a new wash/ditch thing that was forming due to the massive amount of water... And all of a sudden I stopped going forward and started sliding sideways.... I ended up 4 feet deep in a puddle of nasty water and I couldn't get out. There was a fairly steep hill to my rear and right(where I slid from), and I couldn't gain enough momentum to get up the hill. I kept sliding down!

So my friends Toyota T100 had enough oompf to tug me up the hill enough so that my truck could get tractuib and crawl out of the muck...

The damage...
The mufflers, are full of water, and the tranny refuses to shift into 4th gear without grinding... So I am assuming that the tranny has water in it?? It still runs great, however the clutch was a little wet and touchy, and the brakes really need to be taken apart and cleaned.
