Do not go wading in deep water until you have extended all your diff and transmission breathers either. Water in your transmission is BAD!

yeah mine used to always be fine in deep water, now on the odd day it decides it doesn't want to play :lol:

Personally I'm not going anywhere that water run, because of that I had to drive 55 miles home with no clutch and very wet seats, I would only suggest that you try it if you trailer your vehicle to the site :thumbup:

This was Tango a bit further along the same run, that SJ was quite a bit taller than mine :lol:

Hmmm yes I'd rather not get completely soaked to be honest... although if i do drive into one accidentally I'd like the engine to keep working at least :)
