Brake Issue - Muddin

Took the 93 off road yesterday. Had a freakin blast. However, I encountered one issue, that I found very odd.

We did an extremely steep climb yesterday, and due to me needing new tires (I seriously have MAYBE 5% left), I slid down. Transmission was knocked into neutral.

HOWEVER: The brakes went straight to the floor. The pedal just went, and it felt like the brakes weren't catching. It would take about 50ft to stop the truck from 20 mph. However, we went down a hill (as we had to get down), and as soon as the hood pointed down, the brakes went back to acting normal, having ABS, having feel and not hitting the floor.

Thought I may have a leak in the line or something. Couldn't find anything and when we rolled into the gas station I checked the brake fluid, which was full and exactly where it was last month. Any ideas?

I also put in 3 pics I took at the gas station. Even though I don't have many of the trail... it was muddy. You can probably see for yourself.
