Destroyed The New Truck Already

Well i took her mudding late wednesday night got a little bit to greddy and went for the bigger mud needless to say that bigger mud just happened to be about 4 feet of mud so i got stuck and it took 3 tow trucks to pull me out snapped the 4wd drive shaft bent a rim snapped brake lines punctured gas tank and broke the exhaust so word to the wise dont take a stock height truck into 4 feet of mud cause it gets real ugly i should of followed the basic thumb rule of mudding always check the depth first ill tell you what it was the sloppiest mud i ever seen and should of never entered it but you know how greed goes but needless to say insurance covered everything and its getting fixed right now and she is getting a 6" lift kit fully paid for and a gibson exhaust compliments of my insurance co

whats the point in having a truck if it cant get dirty i was actually testing the 4x4 just got a little bit greedy and didnt know the 4 feet of mud was actually 4 feet the dirt looked compacted but i guess it wasnt and no its not my first truck i actually had a jeep wrangler with a 12" lift with 40's and that thing never got stuck i guess thats what i was used to off roading in.......
