What could go wrong?

[SCRunner12]

I went 4wheeling the other weekend and found some deep mud and water holes to play in. I know have looked into the things that could go wrong with crossing water and mud in a stock t4r.

Here is how high the mud was.

The differential can get water inside of it, which will cause issues down the road is my main issue. I'm going to extend the breather lines for both the front and back this weekend and hopefully drain the diff fluid.

What else should I look into. My t4r has been sounding like it has a scraping or humming sound in the engine. It gets louder when I accelerate.

About the diff breather, I read that the Nissan breather works well. Is this true for all t4r?

Any help would be great, seeing as I'm trying to make another trip out in a few weeks.

Thanks

Wow thats a lot of mud, I wouldnt of even done that with my lifted on 33s 3rd gen haha. Check inside the engine compartment to see if there are any chunks of mud (I doubt it, but you never know). I also doubt that there was water that got into your breathers, but if it will make you sleep at night Id drain your diffs. The scrapping sound could be lil rocks or mud stuck in your break pads. Does the scrapping stop when you hit the brakes?

Yeah it wasn't the smartest thing, but you live and you learn. It was mostly water with shallow mud bottom. The scraping sound gets louder if I just rev my engine. I don't think it's the brakes in that case. I might just power wash my engine and see how that goes. Thanks for the response.
