UPDATE!!! HELP: Minor Flooding Offroad

[AuSeeker]

I thought I would update this post. I was able to pay off my debts to my parents!! I ended up having to replace the following:
Starter
3 Idler Pulleys
Water Pump
1 O2 sensor
Jute (stuff under carpet)
And a full fluid flush.

These were all done with OEM parts at a Toyota Dealer. I am very glad I kept Jeb (the 4Runners Name) My parents have gotten over it as you said they would and have let me start offroading and start to modify the 4Runner.

It ended up being that the exhaust was not compromised but it was the pulleys that were creating the Toyota tick.

Again thank yall for your help and time figuring out this matter. If anyone else sinks their 4Runner send them to me I can help. LOL

I just got a Job for the summer and senior year so mods will be coming in hot first up is Kings. Go and follow my IG account @jeb_t4r to see stuff going on soon. But I will be starting a build thread shortly. Here is a photo of Jeb doing what Jeb does the best wheeling! Dad was driving this time lol and we blew three shocks at Jambo whoops.

Sam thanks for the update, I was wondering how everything worked out, good to know your T4R is in great shape!

Glad to hear you have paid your debt to your parents off, that's something not every offspring does, many seem to think their parents still should be paying for everything, I'm proud of you!

Just an FYI, my son's name is Sam also, so I sorta feel a kinship with you even if it's just in your name but the way you're taking responsibility for yourself makes me feel good about you, all young adults should be more like you, but all of ya'll need to avoid big water puddles. :lmao:
