Humgirl: You're 100% gutsier than the semi-male dorks who came out to berate rather than help. I'm sorry about your tough luck, but I respect you for pushing the limit. I think if I tried something like that, I'd have a fellow H2 along so if one of us got stuck, the other could help out.
Regarding the warranty: If you were just driving off road and something broke, that should be covered. Voiding a warranty generally takes place when you modify the vehicle [put in a super charger and break the transmission] or do something that the vehicle wasn't designed to do [towing more than the rated weight for the vehicle]. You were driving an off road vehicle off road. If I had to bet, I'd say the warranty should cover it. However, I'd try to wash all the mud off (especially underneath) before delivering it to the dealership. No sense in giving them too much to think about.
A post a month ago spoke of cleaning the undercarriage by parking the truck over a garden sprinkler and moving it every 2 hours.
Good Luck,
George SSSS
