HeikIlm: By the looks of that mud/water line across the license plate, your axles were submerged by a good amount. I'd say you were far deeper than the design intended!

Yeah, I went past the designed strength

But looks can be deceiving, it wasn't actually that deep, and it was mainly just muddy water. We went over the ditch which had couple of big rocks, clay, tree stump, deep ruts... Almost rolled my truck to it's side, and probably tie rod took a beating when I tried to get the left front tire to climb on to that rock, only to get thrown against the right side bank/rock/what ever was there. Eventually we used winch to get my truck out. Oh, and the planetary of my winch went fubar while we were at it
