There wasn't really anywhere to properly knacker your truck there, unless you were being a muppet or rolled it. I was staying on the side of caution and it was still a great day and I drove it home. There was a guy in a vitara that drowned his car but he was hitting water at silly speeds.

They were telling us story's of when others have knackered there trucks. They clean them off push them to the road then call the aa :laugh: the recovery drivers are getting wise to it though.

Got it home then popped back out and took it through good easter and terling to give the underside a little clean off.




Both of these were taken at terling! approx 2 ft deep with no real rain for the past 3 days

Looks like you've been having a ball & learning with it!

Be sure to strip your front hubs and get some fresh grease in those CVs & kingpin bearings soon. Have you got axle, transfer & gearbox breathers?
