Your frame and all of the body cavities will be filled with mud most likely if it was submurged.Wheeled some muddy tracks in the Mammut Park here in germany. Decided that I had to follow the 2 short Lada Niva's. Got stuck in a mud hole. Flooded the truck up to the seats. Killed the alternator. Flooded all light housings.
Drove back 180mls without any working electrics.
God bless that rediculous slow 1hz engine that needs nothing except diesel and oil. Will post more pictures as soon as I get them as well a short video of the trails.

not sure yet as I haven’t put it on a scale but it’s lighter than the Cummins for sure.any idea what kind of weight thats all clocking??
So, what angle do you think that is on one of those $15 tip-o-meter guages that a lot of us have stuck somewhere inside our cockpit?? 25 - 30 degrees?This is pretty darn close to the tipping point . Without the yellow strap, if you went about 6"higher with the forks it would be possible to manually push it over onto its side. Great access to the underside though..

It took a lot of french words, pipe wrench and section of the floor jack handle to finally loosen the drag link and re-centered my steering wheel. Now I just need to figure out why my whole car shakes and shimmies at certain speed, could be the tires so will go in for a balance soon.
felt really sad since I saw the thread about Kevin/Tools’ passing. Used many tips from him especially around the front axle. I know we don’t live forever but still felt sad and little empty working on my 80 today.
Well, that's good to hear that the drag link adjustment fixed your steering wheel issue. That is a bit strange though it happened in the first place after the Surf n Turf. Could you see if the tube was bent at all? It may have just bent a hair. Not a big deal obviously.
Also I know you're a full time member here, but did you check your 4 lower knuckle nuts to ensure they weren't backing off?
I was talking to a buddy mine who has a Jeeo and he said he had similar problems before he got hydro assist where after every wheeling trip his steering wheel was off and had to be adjusted. Nothing was broken and he doesn’t know why it does it every time but just happens so I’m hoping there is some sort “fuse” mechanism in the 80 that goes es a little inside of the steering box and Once set off I just need the drag link adjusted.
