Don't know wether it would be an issue for you or not, but how would it go in a river crossing? Aren't the factory 4WD engines silicone sealed and the electricals protected from water?

Not as well as you think. The only motor that is pretty much a sure thing in the drink is an old school mechanical injection diesel providing it has a totally sealed air intake. I have had mine in the drink plenty of times and the only cutting out issue I have had has been because the exhaust has blocked with swamp water. A diesel has more compression to blow the crap out. Mine does get a good spray of lanolin or such like under the bonnet before it goes in the water and I generally as a rule try and strap a tarp or something to the bullbar. Il try and get a couple of pics of mine up. |

Ever seen a 4WD V6 Rodeo under the bonet ??? Check it out when you get a chance  Do you think if an engine was sealed it wouldn't leak oil ?? As far as intake goes, yeas, pays to have that fully sealed. |

Very nice looking bus MAV50L. The old Patrol's are pretty much unbreakable hey.. I used to have one myself.
Can I ask wy you didn't keep the serpantine belt setup ? Did you need the scoop for it to fit, or is it for looks ?? |
