    dude i was too busy trying to contain splatter from when i shit myelf.


    I was just cruising through a few mud holes on this trail. I tried to keep my left tires up out of the mud in the shallower part. Little did I know if you stay to the left of this one particular mud hole you drop into the infamous "Bronco Bowl". OVer the years it has just been turned into perpetual soup and just suck trucks up. I'll take some pics next time but I doubt I will EVER go into that one again haha

    You have to remeber, that as deep as the water is, as long as you are moving consistently your truck will displace the water and make a wake. so as your truck displaces the water/mud, your truck past the front bumper is not really submerged.. if that makes sense?.

    Only to a point. When you start to have water come over the hood, you better be running a snorkle.

    Yeah. I've been on four wheelers going through streams that came up over the seat (If stopped) so that's what I was going on. the air intake is not usually in the front of ATV's.

    So hypothetically speaking, If you had your hood under about 4-5 inches of water with no snorkel, what should you do after wards

    No the water was a few inches up to my wind shield but when I hit the water initially the wave came back and hit much higher. My buddy got a little wet in the bed and I wouldn't let him back in the truck until i realized the water came in through the seals or handles anyway

    My truck never cut off. I just BARELY made it. Once the water hit my bed the added weight almost sunk me into the quagmire but somehow the Dunlop AT 20s pull through
