And that is why mud blows.
What's your plan for the interior?

That was good video what kind of helmet cam was he using?
I don't think I've ever seen a video of a truck stuck in the mud where I don't see a guy with a beer in his hand. haha

I was really hoping you would just turn around the first time you backed out. Its one of those clips that your yelling at the screen for the person to stop, but they don't.
So you still thinking of selling it? You can add a nice new carpet to the for sale ad...

OP. That sucks, man, no doubt. I've been there. I think it was avoidable though if you had built up some momentum. Rule of mud = As fast as possible, as slow as necessary. Easing into that mud pit like you did is probably what got you stuck.
Last mud hole I got stuck in did it for me. I don't attempt them any more until after I have investigated them by either wading in there or testing the depth and consistency with a stick.

ouch, have fun cleaning your interior. How far up did the water get inside? I assume the old carpet is trashed, where are you going to get another one?

1. If you are from Walnut Creek, CA, have you gone to Hollister, CA? I have never been 4x4 in Tracy but Hollister is pretty cool.
2. Never be the first one to drive into a mud pit.
3. If you do drive into mud pit, try going sideways not longways first next time.
4. I would be concerned about any water getting into the intake.
I'm guessing you will find out within 10,000 miles if any did.
5. Suggest changing the oil - yesterday.

Dude! I find this comical! You just finished telling me I should pressure wash the undercarriage of my truck because it's all greasy and you've just F'd up your interior with a swim in a mud hole!
I'd rather have a greasy undercarriage man, than not have a carpet in my rig! lol!
I'm sure it was fun though.....so that's all that matters!

I like the stick method, but reminds me of how kids like poking dead things with a stick.
