lol. went offroading in some really wet trails /mud pits.
after about 45 mins of drivin around . i found a really nice pit to play in . was kinda deep , i could bury half a wheel in it.

only mistake on my half , was i forgot to put it in 4lo , i am all time 4x4 so i thought id be OK.

but it didnt get stuck or struggle at all.

and then im on my way out and the road is rough . i hit a pothole and then 2 seconds later my diagonis screen tells me "transmission fluid Low"
and im like wtf??? i stopp. i go to move forward out of a puddle. and it feels as if a slipping clutch.


so i get it out and yeah , the line that goes to the cooler radiator lookin thing infront of the radiator , popped off , dumping all my ATF away. dad towed me home . and im fixin it tommorow.

atleast theres no REAL damage seeing as i stopped driving it . and then when i stopped is where it dumped all the fluid.


good thing i was less than 2 miles from home lol.

there could still be damage so dont be suprised.say your oil pump quits and your motor pisses all the oil out.since its in drive to tow it your motor is still turning.same thing with your tranny.more than liekly it will be fine but def give it a good flush.

i got 2" spacers up front, and my drivers side is all mangled. its making my coil bend and hit the little shaft or w/e that prevents the coil from coming out when u flex.

clunks like a bitch.

....that would have helped nothing in this situation. he didn't crack or skid on anything, he bounced a cap off of his tranny cooler.
