the titel says it all. me and 2 of my buddies decided to go wheel after school. i had never been to this spot before. didnt even know it existed. so we hit the trail. it had a couple mud holes about a foot deep and bout 10ft long, no biggie. then we came up on a big one. now im not much on hittin mud holes, but peer pressure kicked in lol. a guy that goes to school with me sunk his bronco in it a few days before. so i thought ill show him what the ole yotas got. so i hit it. i got to the point to where i was boggin down, so i started to back out. i looked at my friend dakota and asked what he thought. he said " come on hit it your already half way there!" i did. and got stuck. got pulled out by an f150. after i got out my truck was spittin water out of the tail pipe and sputterin rally bad for about 2 minutes. but its fine now. im gonna change all the fluids thursday to be safe. heres pics



can you spot my first good piece of body damage in the second pic? at the front of my bed. got that this weekend. call me crazy, but im proud of it haha

 

im also gonna rip the carpet out thursday hopefully, cuz my passenger floor board had about 3inches of water in it and i still aint got all of it out. im gonna herculine it. no more mud holes for me

 

Get a respirator...Worth every cent.

 

huh? im not sur ewhat your talkin about. i searched and all i seen was paint masks

 

I believe he meant snorkel.

 

I think a locker could have pulled you through; that's on a bit of an angle

but that's the #1 reason I don't go mudding anymore... but I love to watch me some good ol country boy southern mud'n


doesn't look like the intake would have seen much water, but much deeper and your ECU might have been in trouble

 

MAke sure your distributor cap gasket is intact. Mine was mostly gone, what was left was hard like plastic. Made a new one from RTV, helped my slight running issue in the rain

Time for a locker!

 

Yeah gasket maker is the best.

Run a hose from the distributor straight down so water cant get up into it

 

hmm at least u dont have obscene words written and drawn on a muddy truck, and see the deep scratches after you wash the truck... imm sooo choked.

 

Good thing your truck will live to see another day.


One of my stupid friends did that to my old car, it was dusty but the paint was in really good shape. I washed it off then beat the crap outta him haha.

 

Oh yea, in the 2nd pic, you are on the wrong side of the pump....

 

:

 

Easily removed with a polish.... buff and so on. At least you have a nice paint job. All the paint is comming off my truck, you can see many spots of primer on the passenger side

 

polish wont remove it, its like thru the paint. hmm better start knocking heads and get the ppl that did it to pay the insurance deductable to get it fixed

 

Yep, a locker and you'd have blown through that hole. Front and rear lockers and you could have turned around in it.

 

reminds me why i dont go into mud holes anymore...



Had to get pulled out by some fishermen in a chevy avalanche. Woops.

 

I second that. I thought I could spray my bed liner with no mask. WRONG! I usually spray paint and do everything without a mask. But this is horrible stuff. Sticks to the inside of your nose even. You'll be smelling it for hours even away from the truck.

 

yea it was a pretty hairy situation. i wasnt getting gas jsut parked there to wipe my windows off cuz i didnt have any washer fluid lol. i scratched up my rattle can paint job pretty bad in the last week. and dented my bed and cracked my passenger mirror. the good thing baout it is i got about 10ft farther then my buddy did in his bronco hahaha. i will probably end up gettin a snorkel. just for a little insurance. i dont normally do this kinda wheelin but yall knnow how it is when your got your buddies with you. im ordering my thirds in the next littel bit when i get enough money. im ordering the rear thursday then ill have to save for the front. and gary, i had the same thing happen to me. one of my friends drew wieners all over it in the mud, with a bottle. a few thrreating words later, he bought all the supplies to paint it

 

There is a gasket? Crap I need to check that.



Did you drill a hole for the hose? Again I need to check my dizzy cap.


Oh and why in the hell don't folks check the depth of a water filled hole before they bail into it? God water always worries the hell out of me since it can do so much to a rig once it gets stopped.



Last thing. If you don't have diff breathers you might want to change that fluid as well and then install some. *grin*

 

you read my mind junkers about the diffs. i need to geter changed and some breathers
