The first time I ever went 4WDing with my brother-in-law (diesel GQ Patrol) and his brother (diesel Jackaroo), I went through a similar puddle and killed the ignition on my '86 Rangie. Oh the embarrassment - and the ribbing I got for ages afterwards.

A new set of ignition leads after the event fixed that problem. It never occurred again.

At least I recovered some cred when the Rangie powered up a rocky hill with no problems but the GQ took several attempts and the Jack even more. Oh, they were also impressed by the RR's articulation, so much so they took photos.

It was one of those holes you drop into and then climb out of, we were nearly out when she gave up You can see how the back is lower in the water than the front.
It has new leads (8mm) and new everything ignition wise, just really dirty now.
The TDi Disco had no problems with it. The second hole was deeper, above the bottom of the door, and with a better entry I had no probs, just got snagged on the diffs. It was mainly the embarrasment of a stock Prado out doing both Disco's in this hole that bites. 3 recoveries for the day, 2 for me and one for the other disco.
Taller tyres and some trimming in order I think

Mate at least you were out having a go. I did nothing but sit on my bum most of Easter.

By the sound of things it was not only Landies in trouble, the LC 100 did it's front diff as you said.

for your penance, you shall visit TOYOTAHEAVEN 5 times a day for a week.

That's a bummer. Didn't realise that Prados were so good, I always slag them off as being SoftRoaders.

Better get that V8 waterproofed.

Don't forget the Prado has LSD in the rear which gives it an advantage (unless you've got lockers)... You still should have beat it!
