At the Bunyip state park & we got stuck in ruts on the Western track so being alone we decided to back out, so I let the woman do the driving,(regretably)

Tip:
If you're like the majority of 4x4 Drivers, you won't be able to change the diff oil until you get home, because you won't have spare oil and a sump pump to change it. If you suspect contaminated oil (a deep water crossing without extended diff breathers or perhaps you have leaking diff seals) then you can try and remove the water by draining the diff until only oil comes out the drain hole. Do not drain too much and leave your diff short of lubrication. Collect this oil and water emulsion as you should never dispose of oil into the environment. Save it till you get back home and dispose of it properly. Its not only diffs that can have water contamination, but also your gearbox, transfer case and engine oil. However, it is usually only when a 4x4 is stationary in deep water that these components are contaminated.

If I was there, I’d have driven off and left his ass. She did a fine job, even with him nattering at her like a buffoon. Somehow I’m thinking that she’s the smart one in that twosome.

@kowz4u. Gday again kowz4u no its not a law to have aerials on the bullbar, its just that the bar comes with mounts for the aerial and also spotlights. Some people here call em Roobars but most call em Bullbars, most highway trucks here have huge bullbars attached to them and they cause terrible damage to Kangaroos. Cheers again mate…

I though the bumpers are called a roobars turning aroo into a wasaroo poor roos. But bullbar sounds cool also. Is it a law that the aerials must be on the front bumper. Oh it was sweet to see so many snorkels on so many cars and trucks. hi wife of kingbrude you need a 4wheeler of your own. I love mine.
