    Was off-roading for a couple of hours went through a river crossing water got sucked into the intake on the 4Runner opened the hood and checked my intake box and I had a loose clip that was not snapped on properly and water went in. Of course the 4runner is still alive ;)

    thing about water crossings isn't so much how deep but how fast its moving, fast moving water can push the vehicle off the track.

    Great river crossing advice, only other suggestion I would make is to wind the windows down and take seat belts off before entering the water. Easier to vacate the vehicle is something unexpectedly goes wrong.

Congratulations for their excellent job. By the way, I wonder why you do not seem to be worried about any crocs or snakes when you walk through these waters or rivers. In Australia I would not go into any water, lake or river. I guess I would pee my pants.

    Prado footage please, a more 'normal' car ;). Ronnie something I noticed is your videos need a low pass filter to remove the sub bass, every time you bump things etc it booms the sub hard. The scenary and editing is fantastic and looks amazing, but the audio needs that fix to sound professional.

  • @nate4036
    @nate4036 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ronny, does a top mount intercooler cause any issues with deep water coming over the hood/bonnet? Excuse my ignorance on the topic, being from Tennessee, we don’t have these Toyotas available. All of our vehicles are front mount coolers. It seems front mounts would flush the debris through as momentum is assisting. Does the top mount trap debris and clog as it’s more gravity than momentum flow.

    SO you recommend a bra for petrol engines but don't use one in your diesel. I thought the idea was that the bra assists the bow wave and the clearance inside the engine bay. Yes that may help with electrics but surely the main thing is the wave rebound on the fan?

    I've always thought if you drive through deep water (not really over the front end but well over the bottom of the doors) that you should have all windows UP & the air blower on low speed to create positive pressure inside to help keep most of the water from coming in.

    • @ontic2354
      @ontic2354 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Common misconception, the only way you will create positive pressure in the cabin with the blower is if you have the fresh air vent open instead of on recycle, and all windows shut-but that is risky given the height of the fresh air inlet. If you have recycle on, then it’s just moving air around within the cabin, not changing inside/outside relative pressure at all.

      JJ's Adv if it’s actually a broad ADR by design and not just poor sealing, I’d like to see it. If so I suspect it would not be too many years/decades old as most cars leaked too much air for oxygen depletion to matter-most probably still do. What you are also saying is that even if you turn fresh air off and turn on recycle, that water submersion over the fresh air in vent will allow considerable (20%) water in. I’m doubtful, and older blowers and vent systems I’ve had apart are not like this-even if they don’t seal perfectly.

      @@ontic2354 Fair enough.. do some Googling.. around 20% is brought in from outside in various ways. But recirct isn't 100% recirc.. The vent entries are normally in front of the windscreen, and yes, if you get that deep, water will come in.

    Hey Ronny, I've heard this story too many times, diff (or gearbox) is hot and in contact with water will get cold thus sucking water in. It doesn't make any sense.. can you please study the phenomenon and let us know the thruth? I know it sounds right, but it can't be, when it's hot it's dilated, getting cold will get it constricting therefor PUSHING air out and not sucking anything in.. I don't know, I may be wrong but can you please study it a bit more for us?? Thank you

      The issue is not the diff itself (which has a negligible size change) but the air inside it. That air cools down massively as the diff itself is cooled and draws more air (or water) in through the breather.

      @@dustyhats Hi Dale, thanks for the explanation but I feel it's somehow the same thing, I can't grasp the physics behind.. Inside being a hot mist of air and oil which can't be dilated because it's not under pressure

      @danghita4386 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh wait, I think I understand your answer Dale, so the air getting cold will shrink but because there's water sealing the valve the pressure inside drops to the point it'll suck water! Gee.. thanks Dale :-)

    Letting evrything cool sounds like a good idea. Do you change all of thebfluids after a trip that involves water crossings?
    It looks like quite the adventure, but my "adventure vehicle is also my daily driver. There is no way I'd take my daily driver through deep water. I don't want the carpet, seat, interior being soaked for weeks from the water getting in. Mold, mildew, rust...no thanks.

    Ronny your shows are excellent, your reviews are excellent, you've made it, just get rid of the muscle singlet you dont need it looks lame. You now have genuine credibility on the content of your shows. Thinking it through a bit more, re merchandizing gear, the hat you wear is a good look and sunsmart, that would work with a logo, some sort of outback-camping practical with pockets sun-smart shirt with your logo could also work??? A winter one for cold conditions and a summer one for hot conditions ?

    With water crossing should you follow manufacturer guideline? Mine say 600mm water limit but my air box is like 1.5m from ground and I have snorkels and diff breathers. 600mm is not that high but I am sure I can go higher. Don't know If I should risk it but.
