SHITT thats bad, not ur rig is it Goona??? kinda looks like NSW plates, but it didnt think it rained that much anywheres, tell us more Goona

dean

I like the "tassles" on the bull bar - very perty.

Hope there was minimal damage though!

should have bought a snorkel

ok apparently there is flash floods out ur way Goona, some chick on the news was at eugowra or something and on the map its out near orange i think, out past bathurst anyways and orange is out that way somehwere, hope everythings is good man, and i hope thats not ur rig

dean

Yeah thats my rig, well technically it's dads. We were camping and were about 5 metres above the water level at the time which was its usual shallow depth and at about 3:30-4am one of my friends woke us all up sayin there's water everywhere and when i jumped out of my tent all i could see was water. So we grabbed everything we could and dumped it as high as possible but the jabber couldn't be saved, tried to get our valuables like wallet, phones, gps out but as i waded up to the jabber it started to float away and that's when we decided to head out and find help. Jeez that water went up quickly though, never seen anything like it before, rose from about my aankles to my chest in about 10 minutes! Unfortunately the jabber looks like a right-off as it was nearly fully submerged and is now covered in mud and silt.

The tassles just add to it's 'character'
Oh an it's actually registered in Vic but we live up in Orange. NSW.

one more of the inside

Geezus another Jabber bites the dust
Not good................

Ouch, that looks very familiar.

crazy mate, sorry to hear that the jabbers gone, that kinda shitt always seems to happen when ur sleeping, time for a new one then

dean

Hopefully insurance will come through and we'll be able to replace it. It's kinda werid having space in the garage now...

Oh a quick question...at the moment the jabber looks like it's gonna be written-off, would it be worth buying/getting the wreck back and trying to salvage anything or would it all be pretty much screwed?

Find out what your insurance company wants for it - since it wasn't running (was it?) most mechanical bits should clean up OK. Dash gauges etc should clean up and function OK, the ECU may still work if cleaned properly.

Parting it out yourself should make some money, but it'll take time and effort. You've got a decision to make!

Has it got any good bits? like locker etc? there are plenty of bits that would not be affected in the least by being submerged.

Bit of a pita to part out if you don't have the room and/or inclination though.

Oh and bummer btw.
