    Not just the door seals, but there are a lot of penetrations in the floor and firewall, then you have the vents in the back of the cab. The penetrations in the floor are a convenient way to run wires & antenna cables, but you have to seal them up really well. After my first excursion at Richloam that's where water entered the cab. After figuring this out I used multiple cans of flex-seal to seal them up. Most recently I went into deep water trying to reach my mom's house after Hurricane Ian. Everything was fine as long as I was rolling, but as soon as we stopped for her to talk to a neighbor water started coming in through the doors.

    Just for reference, this is the high water mark from Richloam (back when I was on 35's):

    Never understood the appeal of eating dust in a $30k glorified ATV. Out in the sticks near me, people use them as an excuse for taking the trails home after drinking a case of Bud Light at the local watering hole. I have never seen one NOT driven like a stupid asshole. A neighbor down the street has a turbo'd RZR with light whips and everything who somehow thinks it's appropriate to drive 50 mph down a residential street at 10pm in a neighborhood full of old retired people with his shitty speakers at full volume. I hope they all roll over, preferably into some trees.

    Wait, what was this thread about again?

    Here in BC, they are often unloaded from trailers where the dirt road meets the pavement and used for cruising logging roads that they could travel in their mini vans after the kid's soccer game.
