  • Bog hole damage ??

    Hi guys, I知 new to 4wding and just got my 04 petrol prado a couple months ago.

    on the weekend I was out with a few mates, and after a bit of peer pressure ended up trying to tackle a decent bog hole. Got stuck, Water was about half way up the doors and it was a good 15 minutes before I got out

    safe to say I regret it lol. Interior is f**ked. My hand brake and abs lights are constantly on, and my starter motor shit itself luckily just when I got home.

    after a bit of advice on what else I should be checking/ replacing, I知 assuming my diff and gear oil may be full of water ??

    and what upgrades should I do to be able to tackle a bit of water? Not planning on anything crazy but rather be safe for next time if we go through a bit of water

    cheers!

      Your alternator is likely to be full of mud and compromised too.

        diff breathers and snorkel would be a good start

          here are the brushes, clean them out with CRC or something , blow them clean, flush the rest with clean water and blow dry

            take the starter out
            pull the triangle shaped cover off
            pull the plunger out and wire brush or lightly file it
            clean the cover and put a little bit of grease on it
            you may need to pull the contacts out as well , clean them and refit. google that it's pretty easy

            or get another alternator & starter to get the car going and do yours up as spares

            and dont forget to put the car on the lawn and run a sprinkler under it for a few hrs

              When I was younger and bought my first 4wd, like u, thought bog hole driving would be the bomb. It is fun but ultimately does cost you. Mud = money. Bushes don稚 like mud drying on them either. You値l be better for it when u steer clear of the stuff. Shame u had to learn the hard way.
