Gettin' wet
« on: December 05, 2006, 08:28:40 »
Hows about a thread with piccies showing us how deep you've taken your truck!
Prizes will range from a 69p air freshener to a whole can of WD40  :wink:
This is the only (feeble) effort I have to offer (& it's not even me) but I'm sure if the "gettin' some flex" thread is anything to go by, you bunch of posers will soon fill this one up LOL!!!!



So Come on, lets have the deepest, hydraulic-lock-inducing, thank-god-I-fitted-that-snorkel pics you've got  :D

Pic taken on Strata Florida last year.
No it doesn't have a snorkel.
Yes it eventually drove out under its own power.
Yes it did get wet inside
and no the multichanger under the seat isn't waterproof!!!!

I don't have a photo, but I did have my 200Tdi Disco up to a couple of inches above the door mirrors in water, and the spare tyre was totally underwater.  That wasn't a bow wave either, cos I wasn't moving at the time, as the damn truck was floating.  The snorkel did its job perfectly.

The only casualties were my camera, and the underwear of the passengers.

Bakewell ford - December 2005

No snorkel fitted - sloping riverbed meant I could keep the corner with the 'airbox' out of the water.



All good fun  :lol:  But wet carpets afterwards  :lol:
