Tacos in St. Louis area

Since you’ve got the interior torn out, now you can add sound dampening and those rubber floors

 

@CygnusX191
Dude, that sucks.

 

oooo where was this hole at?

 

It'll live. Vacuumed it all out. Took everything out. Vacuumed it again. Mold spray. Have fans and heaters running in there now.

Bottom of a trail right next to the parking fields. No idea which number. @JTFisherman might know

 

@bijick

 

Did @95tojo rip off his bumper so now he needs a fancy rear one?

 

Surprisingly no. Ripped one of the bumper caps off

 

So.... Yes. He needs a rear bumper

 

Oh I agree that he needs a rear bumper. Just surprising he didn't rip it off

 

I think I had a pretty good run of not breaking off one of the end caps until now

 

Time for a high clearance. That factory bumper is a total loss now

 

Thanks to help from @Willy224 the inside of my truck is looking much better now.

Pulled the carpets, pads, seats, most of the interior. Vacuumed the carpets and pads 6x. Let the truck sit in the sun. Put a floor dryer and oscillating heat fan in the truck, then hot boxed them in (closed doors, windows barely open with truck running floor heaters on full) for a good two hours. Sprayed with mold control. Put everything back together.

I'll tackle the doors another day. But apparently Taco speakers are somewhat waterproof. Who knew...

 

I think I'm gonna get rubber flooring in case in this happens to me

 

I just don’t drive though water I can’t either see the bottom or have walked first lol

 

True. Rubber flooring is way easier to maintain also

 

You have options for 2nd gens. Not so much the 3rd gens.

 

I’m glad you got it all dried out. Hope it all goes smooth from here. We probably should have checked that bog with a stick.

@TacomaDad18
Pretty sure it was right here (blue circle at bottom) we came down off transfer case and stayed on the outside (blue line). Timm and I lost the convoy at that fork because @bijick Jeep got a little cozy with a rock. I figured we were better off staying right at the fork to hook up with the service road sooner to find them. I was wrong.

 

Also the problem wasn't water depth, it was depth/softness of what was under the water.

Thankfully it was so much mush that @JTFisherman was able to pull me right out with minimal fuss.

 

I think I'll do this mod soon
