So today I took my 4x4 ranger down a trail to a river. I decided to go off the trail on a grassy area to turn around. I had my friend get out to check that the ground is solid and she okayed it. So I drove through there, but there was a huge 3 ft hole that she didnt see. So my lovely little stock truck got its front left tire stuck down there and it bottomed out my truck.
Now I am smelling a burnt smell coming from truck while I was driving home. Is this normal or is that bad...? My truck doesn't get hot or anything, just smells like something is burning. I have heard this is common when using 4wd when it has not been used much. I have gone mudding a couple times before where I have used 4wd. However, this time I got so stuck I am scared that I broke something.
What should I look for/watch out for? (I am keeping my eye on the oil)
