Ha ha, I went out on Satuday and some of the water troughs I went through came over my headlights. If you've seen my truck you'll realise that's pretty deep!

Sooo glad I got my snorkel fitted :mrgreen:

Ha ha yeah it was pretty deep. The water was so deep INSIDE the truck that it came over the top of my boot!

I went through a ford near me a couple of years back that was slightly deeper than expected...first was the panic of the mad flow that took me a couple of metres sideways towards the drop off the road but the scarier bit was that it was a foot deeper than normal and covered the headlights and spots...it was pitch black apart from a glow coming up through the water in front of me. Gotta love these SJs..stayed in the gas and got out no probs...it was the one time I REALLY wished I had fitted the snorkel I had!!

Bring on the snow...
