Well, the Little Falls Police and the Army wouldn't let me drive on the flood covered roads, even after I assured them I could make it.

It's still pretty bad around here, a LOT of areas are closed due to flooding.

 

Flooding from what? Spring melt and rain?
They dont want to have to save your sorry butt. lol

 

I waded about 2-3ft of water on my last off road adventures

 

It's because when a road is flooded there's no way for a person to tell if a culvert, bridge or road is washed out.
You might be driving along fine in water 2' deep and suddenly find yourself in water 20' deep.
There's a reason you're supposed to check water depth on foot before wading.

 

I was half joking about being upset about it.

next block over from my house.

 

time to get out the kayak!

 

We deal with alot of road flooding in the spring. But usually nothing more than 12"-18". They just put up road flooded signs and let ya go at it. But it's usually less than a couple hundred feet long.

 

for this reason i thought about some type of tool you could attach to the front of the truck with a wheel on it and a long pole inside a larger pole that would mount to the bumper. and as you drive along if the wheel dips drasitcally you will see the top of the pole slide down and know to not go any further because the road has gone out. only problem is, unless you live in a flood prone area how often would someone use it and secondly you would have to have some sort of angle on it so the wheel could lead the truck by a few feet.

 

You could always just install the "Lucas Sonar and ECU Module"....

 

yeah who's going to do a write up on how to re-wire that when the wiring goes wacky
