legacy drowning

Post by phil-allen »

well last night while off roading with a couple of buds I went through the same bog ive been through a million times but the legacy stopped moving and began to sink the water pushed itsself through the doors and ended up stopping just befor the guage cluster. My friends and I managed to climb out the windows and wade out of the into waist deep water.

watching my leg sink like that was the most devestating feeling all the work the hours spent with her

it turned out that a only a few more feet stood between the leg and the end of the deep

well as soon as I hit the deep water I turned off the electrical and the engine so im hoping beyond hope that im not hydro locked and if I am ill manually crank the ej and drain all the water and a look


what do you guys think is she salvagable?

Hydrolocking's the least of your worries. Fresh water's better than salt water, but you'll be forever chasing electrical gremlins. Plus, good luck getting that interior habitable. You'll also probably lose your wheel bearings and steering rack (unless, maybe, if you pull the boots off and get the water out ASAP). Sorry, man.
