Recovery Turns Into Destroying My Truck

Описание: Got a call for a Jeep Gladiator stuck on Rose Garden Hill late at night. So I decided to go in with the Scrambler and get the people out and assess the situation for later repairs. Once there I seen the ball joints had come out from the axle u joint breaking(common failure). But the steering knuckle hadn't broken so that was good. The following morning we gathered up parts and headed up Onion Creek towards Rose Garden Hill. We got up to the vehicle and began repairs. Once back together we got them turned around on the hill and headed down. I got a little carried away playing in the water, I even had a warning from the truck when I swamped the distributor. It started back up and was running good and I should've listened to myself and calmed down. At the final crossing I hit it a little hard and heard the motor stop. I knew what I had done but I thought I had clutched it soon enough and not damaged it. I was wrong. After pulling the plugs and draining the water, we started it and you can hear at least 1 maybe 2 rods are bent. It was a total idiot move on my part and I made a fool out of myself, luckily it's all on camera so you all can laugh at me. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.
