So this Saturday I went out to a friends farm and rode around with a bunch of quads. Did some water crossings and rescued the quads. Then on one unfortunate quad rescue, the truck slid sideways into the mudhole it had just pulled a quad from. It proceeded to sink 30" into the muck. 3 quads daisy chained couldn't pull it out along with the help of a come-along. We wound up using my highlift jack and digging it out. Accidentally Roasting what was left of my 150,000 mile old clutch. So It had to be towed out of the woods backwards by a quad and then towed away to a mechanics. Overall it could've been better but It performed well. The resulting damage: One ROASTED clutch, 1 wing mirror knocked off by a tree while being towed backwards, one bug shield, one fog light knocked out, and top lights disabled. I'll probably have to remove the bull bar too. It got bent pretty badly. Anyway, here are the pics:

Haha you got some bad luck both of your vehicles would be undriveable at the same time. That just means some good luck will be coming your way soon! Sounds like you had fun though.
 
Hopefully I get some good luck. My wallet needs it. haha. Here's some other pics my friend took :headbang::

That first one is a good shot! Is your truck fixed yet?
 
yup. Got it back on Thursday. I would've like to do the work myself but I didn't have anywhere I could take it. I couldn't get it down my driveway unpowered. Its too skinny. I'm still waiting on my mirror to come in and I have to try to save the bull bar. Otherwise, its fixed. haha. The clutch grabs really well now.
 
Nice. I just replaced my clutch as well, huge pain in the ass lol.
