Ok, your 2 hours into a big loop, nearly back to a gravel road, just gone down a pretty treacherous hill with buckleys chance of getting back up, and then you come round a corner and BANG! there's a bog hole....... What do ya do?

Well you go through ti if you have too. The point John is making though is that when guys go out and aim for the bog hole cause its fun well apply his rule. Bog Holes cost money Period. He is sharing Wisdom with a new member and is absolutely Spot On. I hate bog holes and will drive around every one i can. And you have all seen my build thread.!!

The Smart guy drive around them. The young bloke drives through them, sits in them and laughs with his mates while they figure out how to extract the thing. The old bloke sits and laughs with a slight nod of his head and wink to the other old bloke sitting there. Laugh we shall. The lad will learn one day!

I am with 3dogs all the way with htis one.

Bag it, wrap it, spray it, seal it. Drive it, Wreck it, pay for it, replace it, wreck it again, replace it again. The evolution of the Old bloke ;)

yeah totally understand darren but your called Mudrunner, you hit a hell of a lot of bogs, you must love it, youve said the you love the challenge of those insane tracks, theres heaps of pics of you hitting the mud, you've built and rebuilt your truck for the mud and back in those days if someone hinted that you were an idiot for doing it i know what youd say to them!
Yep its definately good to offer opinions to new drivers but dont ever say "no".

I totally agree with this statement:

And that doesnt say "no dont do it" :)

Heres what Mudrunner and Threedogs are talking about. It is worth avoiding if you can. But having said that, all i did was hose it off, soap it up and scrub it with a small hearth brush. That day killed my aircon compressor pulley but everything else was fine.

I have no aircon so im not worried there, its the dizzy and alternator thats my main concern, i like the fish pump idea, and yer the second i drove in I knew it was a bad choice , i was very pleasantly surprized that it was all ok , still trying to dry the carpets though

There is a product for petrols to spray in/on dizzy, guy did demo on my troopy big accel hei dizzy.
tipped 1/2 glass of water in dizzy then told me to turn it over, bloody thing started, no farting popping zilch
cant recall name but was in a spray can.

@ Lucas thats cruel, dirty motor thats for sure, lucky only did air con. AAhhh bog holes

That wasn't even from a bog hole lol. Didnt go through anything deeper than a couple of inches all day. Most of that mud came from an uphill section!.... We get all types of mud here lol.
