    I agree Zach. It's not about who has the best rig or the coolest stories that makes our PNW group...its the comradery and willingness to help each other out that really keep us a tight-nit group. It was an epic trip, and pretty amazing how we managed to get so much carnage from a relatively tame trail.

    Avoiding puddles at all costs is what lol.

    That really sucks, Ben. I hope it doesn't end up as bad is it sounds like it could be. Such a bummer.

    You guys have caused me to seriously consider a snorkel. I don't think I could resist the temptation to drive thru big puddles.

    I found a little damage on my truck today from this trip. the passenger side nerf bar got hit and bent back a little on the mounts. may have stripped the threads on a bolt or 2. also, i have a locking pin to keep my stinger on, and the side that unlocks got bent. in trying to get the pin out, it was too bent to slip out of the holes, so i put the locking portion back on, bent by hand and snapped it off. Got a new one for about $25.

    Ugghh. 5-6" of mud water inside is just adding insult to injury. :(

    How did it happen? I've been through the hole many times and never suffered any damage. I have to find the video's of us going through with mud over the hood. Never a hydro or water intrusion in the interior.

    whole front end dropped in and I am sure water flooded the air intake almost immediately. pretty sure that the wheel well where the intake tube starts at had all air access sealed off by water. put the vacuum of the motor drawing in air onto that and it pulled the water into the intake faster than Ben could reach for the keys to turn the truck off.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I have been through it on our first trip (vid HERE) and didn't have any issues.

    Not sure what happened on this one, but I purposefully avoided through the deep parts, I just didn't feel the need to do it again. So, I was skirting around the edge, and weaving through the stumps, drove the shallow pit on the far side and wrapped-around. I stopped before the small/narrow pond area (right HERE) and thought I would just drive through to the other side, as soon I was all the way in, it got DEEP and maybe it was the perfect combination of turbulence, throttle, and intake velocity, but my aFe gulped a ton of water and the engine died right in the middle. I called Tallon on the CB to get a tug, and after sitting for about a minute in the water, it started seeping in though the doors, probably about 5"-6" total.

    We pulled it out, and pulled the spark plugs and intake to clean them out. After all the plugs were out, I cranked it over to eject all the water from the cylinders, and that shit shot out like a cannon, but after a couple turn overs, it seized again. I crawled under and turned the crank by hand and it rotated freely before stopping. Reversed the wrench, and it did the same thing. No bueno!

    Tallon towed me out to the staging area, but we had to stop to re-rig the strap...that's when we noticed oil dripping out of the skid plate. :facepalm:

    It sucked/sucks, but what can you do. I feel like a complete idiot, and had a few "woulda, coulda, shoulda" moments, but I don't want to waste my energy emotion being pissed at myself, I just want to focus no getting it back in action.

    Your not the only one. I did the same thing years ago while wheeling on the gas line at the other end of town (Belfair). I'd been there before but failed to take into account the time of year it was. Mission Creek was overflowing to make Mission River after a weeks long rain.
    Being an even dumber kid, I just left it sitting in my driveway for a couple weeks, too depressed to work on it. I wasn't thinking about the interior at all, but replacing it cost more than the new engine because I didn't take care of that right away.
