After getting the Sea Rover into the shop, Kevin and Jerrod (the shop managers) went nuts on tearing out the interior while Dan and I tackled the fluids.

When we pulled the oil pan drain plug, we were struck with sheer awe. Mouths gaped open, laughter ensued as perfectly clear water drained from the engine and into an oil pan. The shock didn’t stop there though, we watched as clean water filled two oil pans – we gave up on trying to catch it and just let the water drain onto the floor. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, motor oil started to exit the engine.

This wasn’t a unique incident though. As we pulled successive drain plugs, we could believe the amount of water the Sea Rover had brought back with it. Transmission, transfer case, and front and rear differentials – they all had unbelievable amounts of water waiting to gush out when the drain plugs were removed.
