Thread: Rubber bungs in the front of the chassis rails

Hello everyone. I was doing some rust inspection on the 110, its a 94' so getting on. I noticed rubber bungs in the front of the chassis rails, on the ends of each rail. So i removed the bungs, cleaned out the muck. Was wondering if its worth leaving them out or keeping them in? If I leave them out will mud get so far up inside the chassis that it will be impossible to remove?

Don't any of you flush your rails?

^^^^^^^^^^^ what tombie said!!
Most driven lr's don't hold water, the mud in the chassis does
Once or twice a year at the car wash I walk around the 110 with the high pressure lance and squirt into most chassis openings for as long as it takes for the water to run clear as it leaves through all openings
(For geelong guys I use the car wash opposite try boys ?? Apco?? On the way to Clifton springs from melbourne-CHEAP!!!!)
Maybe once a year I fire up kerro gun and squirt fish oil into the openings when I know the chassis is dry and clean until it runs or mists out
This is handy for the bulkhead too, just remove the top hinge and squirt through the holes
The fish oil thins (if its cold) nicely and sprays well through the kerro gun at 100 psi
