Deep Water - Post Trail Maintenance?
 
Hey guys,

Alright, so a few friends and I ran a trail that was flooded and caked in ice. Here's the kind of stuff we're talking about (JK is on 35s and 3-4" lift):

Anyway, I was wondering the kind of stuff I should check post-trail. My diff breather tubes are extended, so I'm pretty sure my diffs are ok. My buddies will have to change their diff oil though. :-) My air box looked good. Some splashing into the opening, but the engine should be ok. I'm more worried about my t-case and transmission. Do they have breather tubes? Kinda late know to ask the question, ey? :-) Should I change the oil in both?

I'll post a few more pics in the Trails & Tales section...

Need to check the gear oil in the pumpkins for water also.

The transmission and the transfer case have breathers on them that go into the engine compartment from what I've been told. But, I haven't tracked them specifically.

Matthew,

Do you have a picture of those t-case and trans breathers? I'd like to check the 'splash pattern' around mine. I might send Melanie over to Guy Couture's garage tomorrow for a complete fluid change (I have to work, while she's in-between contracts). I'm pretty sure my diff and engine oil are good though. Not sure about the t-case. It gave a little knock this morning as we took off, as if some gears were stuck. Might be caused by a little water in the t-case maybe.
