Wow, doesn't the water go into the exhaust and flood the engine? That is just amazing to see the submarine still running. What type of modifications does it take for a truck to do that?

A snorkel, sealed/raised ECU, some dielectic goo on the sparks/coil pack. That's it!

Thumbs up

Not so much a swim, but try this one. The M35A2 is a beast! I have one that my parents use for ranch work and it's a blast to drive.
All the electrics are already sealed and almost everything is mechanical.

I like the amber patrol light and the high jack on the hood. Makes it unique. Does anyone know whats the long antenna for?

Crazy Bastards! Sounds fun in all, just hate to see the bill for all the cleanup of the interior! Hopefully the water doesn't encourage rust ^^
