PROBLEM DRIVERS?

 

Isn't that about 3 feet of water??

 

and your point is? i think the tire on my ramcharger are 29" so water would only be 7" above the tires. don't think it would get to anything important except that water would start pouring into the cab if i stopped.

 

Tossed around by the mechanical fan too.... that could be fun.

I have gone thru deeper, but, not much, and not nearly that far. But, that was with my full size blazer with 4" lift..... I haven't gotten that brave with my truck yet. Just trying to save some cash so I can go to the off-road park not to far from here. I wanna test things out in a semi-controlled environment. Would like to bring a friend too... but first, gotta have a friend that wants to go.

 

the fan would just act like a propeller and pull the truck through the water. its not like i have a open element air cleaner.

 

It's fitting.

 

it would work just like this

 

Nice.

 

Back in the early '70's I owned a '47 Willis Jeep. It was nothing special, just a little 'farm' jeep, with a little flat head 4 banger and a three speed floor shift. It was four wheel drive and came with 16.5” wheels and when I first got it, it had the genuine military lug tires on it.

One day when I was out in South Dakota buying ammunition at the big army surplus place I turned up a water proofing and snorkel kit for my jeep. It was not quite new in the box but seemed to be complete and very reasonably priced so I bought it.

It took me a while to get it all put on the jeep and I did not trust the waterproofing stuff I put on the engine but eventually I started driving it through the creek on the land I had my trap line on with good success.

One day I took it up to a public area at Lost Lake. Ya, I know there are a zillion little ponds and mini lakes in Wisconsin called lost lake but this was the closest one tomy home town of Bruce, anyway I took the jeep darn near half way across the lake before I got worried about a drop off and drove it back.

I was in water that was deep enough that I had to stand up in the seat to keep from drowning. The water was darn near the air inlet for the carburetor but it was running fine.

Once it was out of the water and mostly drained I headed to town to check things out. First thing I did was go to the car wash and wash it thoroughly. Then I started checking fluids. There was no water anywhere it did not belong. The seats even dried nicely in a few days.

I had worried that it would smell like fish or something for the rest of its life but that did not happen.Of course the seats were stuffed with horse hair or something and there was no carpet at all. It was mostly open most of the time. I did have a sort of a cab made mostly of tin and canvas that I put on in the winter.

I had worried that the battery would be totaled because there was no provision to waterproof it but it too was fine. I didn't even blow a single fuse.
