that was actually the second time he drown it.

The first time it just got a little wet. This time it was drowned good.

After the tow home...

Bought a bunch of cheap oil and literally filled the engine with it. Let it sit a few days. Water went to the bottom. Drained the water out then out came all the oil. let it sit a few days with the plug out. put in a little less than a quart shy of the recommended amount of oil. put in a quart of transmission fluid with the oil. It was a fantastic pillar of white smoke for a while when it finally started.



Picture is shaky, but gives you an idea. Transmission was never the same on it though. Not that it was working all that well before the puddle.

Then recently it was having over heating issues, and someone poured cold water into the nearly dry radiator while the engine was overheating. It threw a rod...My guess is it was weakened by the hydro-lock.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but it was all I had at the time. After I dropped the front end in a rut, the spotter behind me calls out "Stay to the ....left"

I think he meant his left..

From the side


What the back look liked.


umm.. Yea.. we're going to need to find a bigger tree.

Here's how we do it in Russia...we use a powerful Wench for extractions.

And here's how we do it in the Pine Barrens...

I remember riding in one of those trucks as a kid back there... It was cool as hell at the time.

Wow, the highways are pretty rough in Russia...

You get the chance than try and watch "Long Way Round" It's a video documentary of two Brits crossing Russia other parts of Europe along with Alaska, Canada and the USA. They do it on BMW motorcycles and little to no support. Russia is damed tough and the roads were like this. Trucks like the one pictured really saved their trip. The one guy Ewan McGregor (SP) is a pretty famous actor. I thought it would be a "publicity" thing but these guys had a real hard time and did real well!

WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS ROADS
Black Bear? Ha!

My friend frank (fpmdl3) at the Badlands. Just went gung-ho into it, rather than checking depth or anything.

today's main event..doing a u-turn and wanting to grab a bit of the edge of the roadway...well kaboum..




I had no idea this was a ditch...the snow level can be quite deceiving...daaaaame.
I riee to get out..but to no avail..the edge of the dotch was almost 90 degrees//and the road side was full of ice... good luck.

Then when I thought I was almost out... bam.. I sink all 4 wheels in the ditch..

tow truck service was a big help ..

haaha damnn that sucks

high centered in snow...

and my buddies hardbody also stuck..

Dude, Theo, is this what I missed last weekend when I left camp early!?!?!?
