Given the 4 x 40′s was so much fun, we gathered again and went to Toolangi this time to do a few tracks there. We are starting to come out of the muddy season and into the dry and dusty season, so this maybe the last wet trip for a few months. All the 40′s went well, the Patrol had tyre issues (3 x popping the bead) (I had some stuff go down between the rim and tyre and also a broken valve that we replaced on track), and we ended up by going down Rocky Track. I’ll put that up here as a separate video. We finished early to go and watch the Bathurst 1000. Go Holden.

Tip:

Maintenance after Water-crossings<br> So once you have successfully crossed to the other side and are on your way home, you don't need to give the water crossing a second thought, right? Wrong! Any crossing at axle depth or deeper necessitates a checking of the diff oil for water contamination. Having an extended diff breather is not a 100% guarantee of waterproofness and any crossing above your axles without extended diff breathers should mean a mandatory inspection. Checking your diffs for water contamination is very easy. Since water is heavier than oil, it will collect at the lowest point in the diff, right where the drain plug is located. After allowing time for your 4x4 to cool, just loosen the drain bolt and run a small amount (~20mls) of the diff oil into a glass. If you're unlucky enough to have water present, the diff oil should be drained. It is best to flush the diff several times to ensure all traces of water are removed. Milky colored oil also indicates water is present and should also be changed.
