Hope it just tweaked the pan and compromised the seal and they can swap it. Good luck.

That sucks!

It makes me feel better about spending $2700 on BudBuilt 3/16" stainless Stage 2 skid plates though.

I hope it's a reasonably cheap fix!

Looks like you could have used your friend's help with spotting before you got to the rock and avoided the whole issue.
Glad you didn't get stuck up there and your GX probably just needs a new pan.

That sucks, but as a glass is half full person, I'm happy to see repair was not worse, could have stranded you there and required a new transmission.

You mentioned before your GX isn't even lifted yet, right? Would a lift have helped you in that exact situation, do you think? I keep going back and forth with my first off-road mods... sliders and skid plates OR 33" wheels and 2" lift?

LFD Hybrid Front Bumper

Thought I might show off my new LFD Hybrid Front Bumper. Just finished the install. Now I am ready for a winch! Going to put together a video of the install and why I went with a hybrid bumper soon. Cheers.
