picked these dick cepek 31x12.50s on ZR2 rims for 100 bucks earlier and had to go wheeling. got out to some little trails that had more mud than i expected. tires were amazing until the motor sucked in some mud lol let it run for 10 minutes at idle and everything cleared up. pulled my k&n just a few minutes ago and it was full of mud and my airbox had mud in it still lol
heres a pic from when i got back. you can see how clean the front end is from all the muddy water that ran over it

let me know what you guys think of the new wheels and tires

Probably not the best idea to let it just run to clear things out....

Glad your engines ok though!

I wonder if the K&N had anything to do with that!

I would change your oil, and make sure that you don't have any mud in you intake still. That could prove to be really bad later on down the road.
