SALISBURY PLAINS | Stuck in the mud | Off Road/Green Lanes | Bog holes and broken trucks | 4WD UK

In this episode we take a trip down south to the infamous Salisbury Plains. Josh has a pretty evenfull time, first sinking his truck in a bog hole... then sucking water and mud into his airbox turbo and intercooler. Mr AA man thankfully gave josh a lift home.

Glad you enjoyed our local lanes, respect to the Suzuki driver who was virtually stock and seemed to adhere to the old LRO slogan of ‘tread lightly’.

Fair doo’s to the Suzuki it really does get everywhere it needs to 😁

That mud through the air filter/turbo/inter-cooler is most probably going to mean an engine rebuild!

Luckily we have spare engines 🙈

mmmmmmm ? seats belts as the green lanes are still highways? speed limits ? tread lightly ? has anyone had any off road driver training? i am all for having fun in the mud and water but this is not doing the U.K. off readers any favours.

[@4WDUK]

Hi Vinnie, somehow we missed replying to you :( our apologies As Little Bull said bellow it’s more of a seal issue. In grahams case it’s just the seal between the air box lid and body, everything else is most defiantly sealed. The design of the air intake on the d2 was piss poor in my opinion. On my truck(big blue) I have a custom snorkel and air box.

On the fence. We live in a tiny fucking country and we a have to take care of it. Ripping bombholes ruins green lanes and they WILL be closed. Then we're all fucked. On the other hand it's out country too and if we want to rip bombholes why shouldn't we? Just hoped you tried to at least pick up after yourselves lads. No way should there be THAT amount of shit after the air filter 😂 That's not right chief I'm telling you now 😂 Nice to see you all having a laugh 👌👌

Sadly you cant please all the people all the time , we are NOT a bunch of yobs detroying lanes nor are we sandal wearing anoraks , would like to think we are a middle of the road (or bombhole if ya like ) kinda gang , and just wanna have some fun , no one died and tbf those bombholes are driven by tanks !!!!! Dont fink Dora would really do any more damage than a 30t tank , we appreciate your mid way view as it shows tolerance and maturity something we hold dear here at 4wd uk 🇬🇧 We defiantly cleaned up after ourselves, we quite regularly end up with 2/3 bags extra of rubbish cleaning up other dirty buggers mess 😑

[@myrongaines5542]

Any clue why the snorkel failed?

[@4WDUK]

From what we found, the snorkel hadn't failed. The Water, Mud and bits of smashed plastic from the snorkel grill came from the top 😬🙈

[@m4drx]

I’ve had similar on my d2. It’s the woven fabric coupler between the air box and snorkel. If submerged, water gets through it. It’s not easy to get that much water through the top. Also happens if you don’t locate the air box lid perfectly over the filter which seals it or if you have missing clips, which most seem to. Only a few quid from Land Rover.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

@@m4drx You need to silicon all joints.

[@m4drx]

@@Robert-cu9bm I have done mate and added a few layers of waterproof tape around for good measure. No water or mud in the air box since and it’s been about 4 years of laning trips to Wales, Salisbury etc.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

@@m4drx 👍 What people don't realise when they have one is that they're not a "snorkel" they're a high air intake. The standard airbox isn't designed to be submerged in water. Best to get a aftermarket aluminium one and make sure all joints are sealed correctly. That amount of muddy water isn't coming through the top, that's leaking in through the joints.

[@Oneeyeben4wduk]

All your videos are brilliant ! What lift and tyres do you have on the d2’s ? I have a 1999 d2 that is a daily driver but looking to use it off-road on the weekends too ! And I’m looking for inspiration in the lift/tyres area.

[@4WDUK]

The gray d2 (Dora) is on 37” tyres in this video, 3” suspension lift and 2” body lift. The green d2 has 35” tyres and a 4” suspension lift. The blue d2 has 32” tyres with a 2” suspension lift. All depends on what you’re planning to do with the vehicle on how far you go. Our little blue d2 will get 95% of places if you push it 👌🏻

[@Oneeyeben4wduk]

@@4WDUK thank you for the information !!!! Somewhere between Dora and the party bus I think 🤔 then I can still drive to work every day but also triumph in the lanes on weekends 👍

[@mikeb53]

@@Oneeyeben4wduk For the vast majority of lanes or general 4x4ing a 2" lift and 32" wheels are more than sufficient. While opinions may vary, I personally would not want to use a D2 with 35" knobbly tyres and a 4" suspension lift as a daily driver. You might as well commute in Tractor it will be pretty much the same thing. If you go larger wheels and higher lift, you are going to need to spend a lot more money. There's an adage for every inch you go over 2" that's an extra grand per inch. As you'll need to correct the castor and radius arms. and the drop links. You will need longer brake hoses and possibly extending the wiring for the ABS sensors to accommodate the flex of the axles. As for tyres, you can go up to 5% bigger than standard without too much issue. 29" is standard on a D2. if you put 32" tyres you are going to notice its a lot slower. If you go even bigger you are going to need minimum of a stage 1 remap to make it drive worth a damn and if yours is an automatic then you can't put more than 380NM safely though that autobox and the standard Td5 Torque converters are not the best either, if its manual go for a stage 2 that means making changes to that exhaust and also, you may need to change the gear ratio of the transfer box too. Normal ratio on the D2 is 1:1.2 so you're going to need to get the transfer box on 1:1.4 like a Defender or even 1:1.6. Its a big job and you have to budget for it as its not cheap to get everything you need for it, and know what needs doing, simply raising the suspension and putting fat tyres on is just the tip of the iceberg really.
