Default novice+mudding+mud down intake=bad

the black beauty is fine!

but my buddies nissan is toast. we installed new shocks last night and went to test them at the orv park in his nissan. me an my other buddy were in my truck and he was in his. he went missing for a few minutes and we found him stuck in a mud hole getting pulled out by a huge chevy. his truck wouldnt start so i attempted to tow him with 2 500lb straps which snapped after about 50 yards. we finally got some chain and i looped in on the tail end of my frame which ended up bending it pretty bad and ripping through one of the holes i had the hook in. LOL. I had to keep it in 2nd gear and tow him 10miles on the highway. the HO motor did great under towing though. there was mud on his plugs, and intake was coated with mud. 4x4 would have been nice to tow him on the gravel though. under 1/8 it was just showering his windshield with rocks.

drying the air filter

damage to the dak, ripped through the frame, im not worried though
