Ouch, any damage?
I went through some water just shy of that depth, I am lucky it didn't suck in water as II don't have a snorkel.

[QUOTE=Grippy;1552809]Got mine dirty over the weekend up at Loveday's 4x4 park. The place is great, bits of everything to do. My mates new Prado made it up the steep and crazy hillclimbs without a problem, I got stuck on a couple, time for a locker I think.

Spend some money on front swayer disconnects first if you haven't already done so, makes the front end nice and flexy.

A WJ in my experience should poo on a Prado in most places but I'm biased.

I felt like it should shit on it too. I will get the discos, although have read it can pop the springs out. Will!start looking for a locker soon too.
At least mine sounded much better

It has never happened to me FWIW. The sway bar isn't designed to hold the springs in, the shocks do that for you so you shouldn't have any problems.

Disconnecting the front sway bar transforms the already good articulation, best money you can spend IMHO.
