Frontera Technical Support

Yes and yes. Managed to push my bull bar into my offside wing, nice big dent, I got really carried away going through this big body of water and so kept going through faster and faster and the engine swallowed a fair bit of water went all noisy and horrible for a mo, but then was fine so touch wood got away with that, Nearly got stuck in a really deep water channel but managed to reverse out which took about min and a half by which time there was copious amounts of water in the footwell and dripping from the dash above my feet :lol:

we even had to use a squeegee to bale out once we got to dry land..

Mentioned Fog to the fronty guy and he seemed quite keen tio have a look. he kept saying I had to go to stoke to a place they have there I think he said it was called tipton, but he was raving about it.

The guy in the green fronty had machos on 235/70/16 and they where huge he must have had a good inch of tread plus the extra on the side wall. So I think once ive worn these out they will be next. But' I never got stuck once all day or had to be rescued(he did) :lol:

and then i rescued the rescue landrover

by **Drift** on Sun Jun 10, 2007 5:45 pm

What did you hit and how deep was the water

by **BUMPTJ** on Sun Jun 10, 2007 5:50 pm

I think I did the wing on a turn. The pic where I am looking back at the camera with my thumb up, As I came round the turn there was a ruddy great trough and i didnt half crunch but then I was up and out.I never noticed the dint till later.

When I was doin the water I had all the windows and roof out and the water was shootin up higher than the sides, couple of times the bonnet was completely submerged up onto the windscreen :lol:

What a hoot. There was a very pretty site photographer taking pics so i was showin off for her. Hopefully some will make it onto their site. If not she sells them on.

Not broken just battle damage.....I always make sure she's fit to take it. Temp gauge never got above 1/4 all day and it was a scorcher.
