tested her out too much
`went out to the local mudhole, and even with it being super dry i got "lucky "
and found som mud still there
this last one is where i tested her to er limits, and just missed the pathway.
I was following the guy infront of me as he went through but i guess i ended
up too far to the right and thats where it splashed a little and hydrolocked as
the front right went down. I took it to a buddies shop and he spent all night
manually pumping the water out of the motor, and got it back up and running
this morning. he is takin it for a day to test the motor and make sure nothing
comes up with it.
Fixed your pics for you

RE: tested her out too much
similar thing happened to me but it was due to rushing into the mudhole too quick all the water went up the hill then came rushing back down ontop of my hood...I think I am going to make a DIY snorkle once the weather gets a bit nicer around here...
But it did look like fun till the last pic.
keep us posted on how it goes.

RE: tested her out too much
I did something similar to that at work. My old Commander and I were out horsing around and I was following him through some holes like that and we went through a little too fast. The wake from him closed in right in front of me and stood the dang thing on it's nose, when it settled back down I had sucked a bunch of water into the motor. Apparently according to the motor chief that caused it to throw a rod. Drove it from VA to Ohio that way though, damned thing just kept going . That's one good thing about doing that at work, I don't have to pay for the mechanics .

RE: tested her out too much
my camera died when we first opened her up, it was covered in a slime lol and when we first undid the clamp for the airbox a little bit of watter leaked out. i wasnt there when he cranked the water out of the motor though. my ride had to head out so so did i
