Went mudding...

My buddy in his brand new jeep and my truck went off roading this weekend. I went through some mud but the jeep got stuck two feet in mud. Anyways, Jeep enthusiasts are saying that the Jeep should get a diff and t-case fluid changed since mud might have gotten in them. Better safe than sorry. Anyways, although I wasnt stuck two feet under, I went through some deep mud. Should I be concerned and take precautions?

I've gone through alot of mud a water in my 79 Bronco with 36s, and I change my fluid more often than I need just to check for water in the fluid, and see how my internals are, and very seldomly do I have much water in the fluid unless I get stuck, and stay sitting a while.

I also would like some pics.
