Water/Mud - What was I thinking?

[TPC]

Time to get a snorkel and raise the breathers for difs and gearbox and try it again.
No I think this may have cured you, great write up and pics.

I'd have to wait another year for some more water probably ...

Would have thought if water collected it would have a solid base.

I guess the other point, that's obvious when you think about it, since most of the water was gone already from elsewhere, the only reason that this water hadn't evaporated yet was because it was TOO DEEP.

I'll have to go and have a look at the hole one of these days, it will be dry by now and can see if there was ever any chance I'd have got through it.

I just love how after you got stuck the first time and flooded the interior, you went back a second time just to be sure you did the job right.. Thats the spirit..

Kind of like "two for the price of one"

Great effort Cameron, and great write-up

Mine took on a little water on that side too recently - nothing like yours, the waterline on the carpet is only an inch wide of the kickplate - but what makes it interesting is that I'd taken the passenger seat for that trip on a night drive, and my mate must have taken my exhortations to "DRIVE IT LIKE ITS YOURS!!!" seriously - he has a GU IV as well as me, but his play truck is a GQ beater... and as well as the mud, his driving was making me spill both my beer, and his rum/coke, which I had to hold because he's only got one arm

But hey, why have them if you're not going to use them. I certainly didn't buy mine to do the shopping.

Thanks for the warning on water ingress, my compressor is under the seat too and although I've often championed that location for a compressor I think I might move it to the top of one of the rear wheel arches now...

I woulda charged on in as well

Twice!

Cam my hat is off to you for showing the Saudis how we do things in Aussie

My wife was sure that I didn't buy mine for shopping either. We just went to the super market and could hardly fit the groceries in (and I don't even have the fridge in at the moment!)

Great write up mate. Good thing she's still running.

Check the gearbox/diff oils.
I blew my lux gearbox as the top seal wasn't sealed proplerly and water went in there. Drove it like that for a week then it went boom!

[rusty_nail]

looks like you had a hoot at least mate and no serious damage done. looks like too much speed hey. better luck next time!
