Default Laughing WITH you...

that was mighty fast... Immediately I thought of Tom's (Antichrist) siganture line...

"Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck in places even more inaccessible."

...and a snorkel allows you to swamp your truck in places which were previously inaccessible.

Sorry to hear about your mishap and good luck with the complete teardown.

You are supposed to start in the shallow end and work your way to the deep end!

Well at least you got it out huh?

Now rip out the carpets and throw them away. Drain all the fluids, refill and PRAY.

Gut the CD Player and reroute the wiring up out of the way. Drill bigger drain holes to help the water drain away.

Be careful where you play. Next time, it may have to STAY!!!

It will get better one DAY.

At least no one died in the making of the video....

Maybe you can send it in to TRU TV and get National Exposure!

Snorkels are like Condoms.....when you have one you'll dive into anything thats deep and wet with a false sense of security, then afterwards your kicking yourself in the *** LOL

I like that one.

Yeah If you hit the water hard enough and ride that crest......

And hope there's nothing submerged to get in the way.....

You don't really need the Snorkel

Just Drive it like you stole it, then throw it away.

I watched a guy loose a 1st gen diesel trooper this way and it wasn't to get across the river either. He was out there doing donuts in a river up to his windshield. Completely misunderstood that even though it was still like glass and not that deep they're were still currents. Flipped it under water and completely submerged it. I know you guys hate anything non Land Rover but those 1st gen diesel Troopers were pretty awesome.

ugh, I got the spark plugs pulled and along with all the carpet. Im letting it dry out while I charge my battery. I dunno I hope she starts..

I broke one of my spark plug wires in the process of removing the plugs... GREAT.

Im hoping it runs 1st

Then Ill be happy to get my electronics all working correctly, doubt it..

Already planning what to do when this thing is GONE.
