[Sambo]

[indianajeepman]

it was not my fsj but my 87 and they float till it gets deep then they sink

[beloth]

They weight 2 to 3 tons...and are basically square bricks on wheels...Bricks sink like rocks in my universe, dunno about other applications though....:confused:

Rinse and repeat and you too, can have the whitest Jeep. :D

Can't get videos here but, re men in black's pictures: Sheesh, the things don't run all that well upside down even when dry!

My Wag does fine going slow in a couple of feet of water -- haven't yet tried it beyond that. I once had a bran-dam-new '79 FJ40, and that sucker would dive until it ran out of air without affecting anything else. Had to stop mid-stream once and stick it into 4WD because the rear 34x13.5s had floated.

That ToJo had great sealed electrics and a pretty darn good vent setup. I'd ike to have the axles & gearboxes in my Jeep running slight positive pressure to keep water out. Better yet, negative pressure most of the time to keep oil in, switching to positive pressure underwater. I have no idea how you'd sense that, other than one of those little deals that automatically closes house skylights when it rains.

perfect shot by the guy driving the cavalier at 2:22 in the video. lol
the '55 Chevy truck there seemed to not be a 'crash' so much as a set-up, or it had literally been parked there long enough for the tree to take it up with it. lol
