Guys it doesn't look like he has tires on that truck so I think he is being careful.

But I get my 05 2wd dirtier than that going fishing and camping, but then I have tires on mine.

No chance! Too many electrics in vehicles now! After the floods here in NEPA 3 years ago my electrics in my Ram were throwing a fit for about a week! I had that thing up to the wipers in some places on the road!!!!! In the UK we used old Land Rovers with diesel engines and ran Snorkels. I used a 1976 Cherokee once and that was up to the wipers but it started to kill the ignition so I got pretty damn close to the air filter on top of the engine!!!!! It helps if you put it in 4LO, rev it, and make a bow wave in front of the truck. That causes a vacuum behind the Rad so water doesn't go up into the airbox. The only time I blew an engine was doing what that guy was doing but unfortunately I hit a hole under water and not only my head go under but so did my Snorkle!!!
