What did i DO?

[Bens4runner]

Today i tried to flex by getting my driver tire up yop of a 1.5 ft tall tree stump. I put in 4 wheel drive and pulled to it slowly, when my tire touched i let the clutch out slowly and gave some gas, still riding the clutch a bit so it wouldnt die I gave more gas for about 10 seconds then started smelling something bad and saw some blue smoke coming out from around my T4r. I let off and said f@@$ it as I was afraid i messed something up, the smoke was gone, I popped the hood didnt see anything unusual, no fluid leaks etc, and the smell lingered for a little while longer as I drove, then all was good...

Anyone know what might've happened? maybe I should of tried a different tactic to getting up a vertical obsticle? what could that smell and smoke of came from?

that was your clutch burning. Think of a dragster smoking it's tires, that's what you were doing, except to your clutch. As long as it wasn't done for too long, you should be fine. I've done this a few times in my old '89, and there was no discernable damage done.

As for scaling vertical objects... lower gearing.
