I love muddin' it and trail blazing are my favorite off road activitys. I have learned tho, that for a mud monster, you want to get an old $300 beater that you dont care much about to bog with. Get something cheap and easy to get used parts for. In this neck of the woods, full time 4X4 Dodge trucks are awesome for that because you can get good used parts for next to nothing. THey hold up decent too. The 1/2 ton axles leave alot to be desired tho. But for a mud monster, use a cheap beater you dont care much about then that way, if you TOTALLY destroy it, you arent out much.

As for your truck,I would drain, flush and refill the trans, transfer and axles. Do that ASAP and keep watch to see if you get that milky water-oil mixed. Hopefully you didnt. To dry out your clutch, pull your inspection cover, and spray some brakekleen or good strong carb cleaner and let it wash the crap out, After it has dried, hop in truck and run it, applying and letting out the clutch EASILY! That should fix it.

Good luck!
