Car and Driver, or It's not just dogs that have big noses in photos.

 

Looks like you went on a similar bug-killing mission

 

omg, you guys are living and nailing it. I treat my 2025 as a princess but i know it can transform into a wild beast when needed. Cant stop loving it. hehehehe

 

 

@GavinC You need to add some additional armor and a winch to weigh that thing down.

 

Yeah. A bit more ballast in the stern would have come in handy. It's nice to finally test the theory that these things float if you try to exceed the wade depth. It was in extended height and at 2' 11" of depth a little orange warning triangle appears in the wade sensing screen. Right at the limit of what's doable.

A Bravo or NDM snorkel would be good insurance but I can't see it adding any depth. Would be cool to float one of these across a river like the Leyland Brothers of old.

 

This was my first time off roading in my defender. And I am hooked.

 

Whereabouts in Florida? The ever changing water levels on Florida can be intimidating. Had several close calls in my past

 

Y'all need to stop trying to use your defenders as boats or the Coasties are going to start stopping us and asking if we have life jackets, air horn and flares on board.

 

Ha these videos crack me up. I can vouch for @GavinC last weekend, he really did float it across and used the wheels like propellers to get thru the deep spot. It was hilarious. @DefenderSISU you almost sank it !
