Being towed out after getting into the mud to fit shackle

solarman216 · 23-04-2018, 19:03

Back in the car park to see how bad the damage is, turns out as the water was so thick with mud it instantly blocked the filter which imploded and stalled the engine, once we got the intercooler off only traces of muddy water were in the turbo and inlet manifold was clean, so wound it over and away it went sweet as a nut, on the down side while I though I was dash camming the whole thing, when I plugged the chip in the last event was mid March, so think that it was not set to overwrite, but cannot confirm that as cannot find the instructions, suffice to say no video other than one of Dave on a climb, will try and upload that in a moment, good side is the trol performed very well did not get stuck once, used 4 wheel 2 or 3 times partly because I needed low box up hill and did not use rear diff lock at all, I did find the wide tyres struggled in deep thick mud as they pilled it up in front instead of cutting through it like the skinny 7.50x16's do that was one of the times I needed low box but not 4 wheel, Rick

Looks extremely muddy but I bet you had a good time

solarman216 · 23-04-2018, 20:10

Had a great time, forgot to mention for Tdoug's benefit, yes the shields on the rad worked a treat with no hint of temperature rise, Rick

Do you have any photo's of your patrol in the mud?

Not good I first made two out of plastic sheet, but on trying to get them in could see damage to the air con rad being done, so elected to cut a couple of bits out of my old foam exercise mat that I use to lay on, no risk of damage now, and held in place with a couple of bits of thick wall pipe lagging, Rick
