well this isnt a creek or river but it might as well be a damn lake! this was my school parking lot last wednesday... I was parked almost right next to the grey sierra in the middle and im 2wd. The water was exactly level with my nerf bars. This parking lot was completely full of cars but mostly everyone got out, about 5 cars were totalled.

We had a Huge rain here in Springfield, Mo a while back. My sister tried to cross a street and the car died. I had to come tow her home. I crossed the flooded area and that was about 2ft deep. After I got her home, I went and helped a few other people get out of flooded areas. One area was about 3ft deep. Back then my air intake was stock, However the truck was leveled cranking the bars. I was running the stock 20's.

i think so. go measure how high the bottom of the belt, the bottom of the fan, and the bottom of your door are. go no higher than the lowest of those three. if you're high enough that your intake is seeing water, you're already f'd

that's a fail if i've ever seen one. how do you let a parking lot flood like that?

best thing for the people with the cars would have been to leave the car off and get a ride home. let the car live to drive another day
