That's exactly where I set mine at +6. With a high pinion and 43's.

Happy 4th of July to you and thanks for being a bad azz servicemen.

 

When in doubt, throttle out!!!!



Both rubicons with lockers needed winched out. Hehehehhe

 

Got my first dent tonight from wheelin

 

It's only the first one that hurts... after that, it's just another one... adds to the character

 

So tonight wasn't our best wheeling trip. Found a 20km swamp trail and the further we got the nastier it got. I swamped my truck and now it's running very rough. After we tried towing it we decided to leave the truck for the night. Made it 100ft and both jeep rubicons I was out wheeling with got stuck as well. Then the winch broke and then the high life jack broke. Ended up walking 5km (3miles) in swamp at midnight.

Anybody has any technical advice for the truck? Went through a hole that was deeper than anticipated. My electronics got wet and its running extremely rough. I think it's misfiring. Can't even spin the tires. Its not hydrolocked. Stalled in about 5ft of water because it was really bogging. Got towed out of the water and it atill starts just doesnt have the power to move. Going back out tomorrow.

 

Wowzers dude! Great picture fjording that mess!!


I guess my suggestion would be to get the front end propped up like 3-4 inches. Just some incline or jackstands, wood, etc. Something that is manageable and safe while still working on everything. This will hopefully have any standing water run out...somewhere.

I'd go ahead and pull the spark plugs, take cap and rotor off and wires (keep track of everything with pictures before removal or some way), pull off coil too, and ground wires.

Let everything air dry out naturally while inspecting. Look at all wires that "appeared" to have been exposed. While everything down as this will tell you what ones you have "touched".

Then when ready use air compressor for some gentle/progressive air drying. I say gentle just in case too high a pressure and you hit something too hard. You want to knock out debris and standing water.

For the ground wires you'd want to pull them and wire brush whatever to knock off the built up scale from the water exposure. Same for the battery. Review anything in conduit. Anything you see contact metal exposed, clean it. Find the ones on the frame too.

I'd then start to look at the air intake and throttle body. Looking for any evidence of moisture suck in or just debris in the form of silt/sand/etc.

Wipe things as you go paying attention to where it may drop down onto. Someone with you holding shopvac would catch much of that.

That would be my start....for now.

 

Night before full moon mild run Friday night. This is not at the top as I was trying to catch the last sliver of sunlight.

(sorry cellphone pic with default settings)






Saturday I didn't drive. I was the support/spotter for a run of 7 rigs on a pretty sketch trail. No pics b/c of running around, literally was almost takin out by a Bronco that lost brakes...he recovered it. I should be getting pics from the others soon.


My campsite




On the way up....that is a pack job....

 

Okay. Heading back out now in an Argo with my winch that isn't installed on my truck yet. Going to put it on my buddies jeep. I just hope it runs because the trail isn't over yet. If it doesn't run I have no idea how we are getting it out of there.

 

Given how deep the water is, check your oil, and trans fluid for water intrusion. Since it sat in the water all night, just change the diff fluid.
