a mate of mine misjudged a creek on holidays.. at the back of flagstone... the water was rising.. had to be left over night and recovered in the morning....

What a disaster mate!!!

Thanks for the pics!

[scrawn]

going through the creek it self and hit a hollow spot couldnt get traction after that... try winching it out but water flow nearly doubled so had to leave it... its half stripped out and will live again in about a month

WoW, not good. Where abouts is flagstone??
How was the recovery, bet it wasn't fun!

Welcome to the forum Scrawn, when you get a chance drop by the introductions section and tell us a bit about yourself and your Patrol.

she was a RB30 on gas but will be a TD42 when its back on the road... front diff got no water.. rear was full and gearbox had a bit it in too. sub petrol tank got a tiny bit of water aswell..

Tip shots mate, and most importantly, your mate got out of it ok. Cars can be rebuilt old mate ... People usually can't ...

Now the nice stuff has been said ... WHAT A HOOT!!!!! When can we go out?? When??? Seriously???

Not a good thing to go through at all & not to mention the damage to the patrol.

Im glad your friend got out safe & sound but I also hope he has learned some things as well, it may just save he's life one day.

man i would be in tears if this was my car, hope your mate got out ok and hay what a good excuse for a few upgrades too..

Bugger. Glad all was well. I too would be rather upset if it was my ute.
