The way I wheel, I ALWAYS expect something to break or get damaged. That way when it happens, I am not that disappointed.
It sucks that it happened to you, though. I try to avoid mud and water as much as possible just because 1) I hate washing the truck afterwards, 2) if it's a stream, it could be water that some family is using for drinking or 3) you don't know what all is in the water/mud. Also, I hate getting stuck and then getting out and being like "OH ****!"
Now that you got your first damage, you shouldn't be too sad about the rest. Trust me, it'll keep happening.

I want pics .
Well I understand what everyone here thinks when you wheel you should expect damage , from mud ,rock,roots , extractions .
But I can kind see this guys point , its a giant metal post .
To the op take this as a learning experiance from now on dont go through water or mud unless you know whats there , count yourself lucky it wasnt worse .
