Tell a competitive bro that my 4500 pound disco could make it anywhere his 1400 pound Suzuki Samari could.

He took off up a 200 foot tall line of tight, small dunes at 15-20mph... making the trail up as he went. Great piece of driving. I almost rolled it taking his line up one particular dune, and figured out the hard way that a samari's wheel base is much narrower than a disco's.

He tried his best to make me quit and drive on the beach. He sure was surprised though, when I showed up at the top of the dunes where he ended up.

Take off your headlights, and take off the circle covers as if you are changing bulbs and dump all the water out. let it air out/dry. goodluck.

Have not played with mine much yet,

The stupidest thing I did was tell the wife how much money I wanted to fix little things and mod my truck..arg!

The funniest thing I did was outrun a new Mini Cooper off a stop light on dry asphalt. Not sure who was more suprised!

DROVE?!? What have you done to your truck? That would require more than just a snorkel, were you wearing one too?

One of the nice things about driving through water...you dont get wet unless your door seals are really bad.
