That does look like fun.  Seems the front end loader and bulldozer got a work out as well. That DODGE was sunk!

It was still running. He beat it pretty bad, its only a year old, like 30,000 miles. I drove the Blazer right through the same spot, rolled my belts of in the water, still drove it out the other side.
He tried pushing me and bashed his bumper, and push bar all up. He put a big dent in his door against a  tree. He is a wild man. There are big guys and there are giants. This guy is like 6'8" and has to be close to 400lbs., and not what I would call fat. Hair twice as long as mine and a beard down past his chest. First time I ever saw him he steeped down out of a Pete cab over like we get out of our pickups!

Nice clip. I'm a little confused. ???
How does the guys engine stay running?
Where does the air intake come from?
Does that car have gills like a fish?

There is a raised snorkel on the pass side of the windshield, and apparently very well sealed.

quality clip. At one point it looks like the guy at the front is pushing it backwards on his own at 10mph    ;D

I am amazed it kept running.  With all that could go wrong...water in gas tank, electrical system, etc..

I bet he would have to drain everything afterwards, axle fluids,tranny fluid, gas, brake fluid---water is thinner than oil and i just dunno if all those seals keep water out.   oh, and he would probably have to change his underwear.

Cool vid. Some pics of my Blazer years ago.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q165/BlazinK30/4%20Wheelin/BlazerFowlerTownbeaverpond34-1.jpg

Been in deeper but have no pics. Had an 86 3/4 ton with 36" tires on it. I went in deep enough to give the motor a drink. Dragged it out, pulled the plugs, cranked the water out, dried the inside of the cap, put the plugs back in and it fired up.

That Jeep was pretty impresive, I've seen people go through deeper though. It takes alot of work to seal a truck up that tight. Alot of work towards sealing the electronics mostly. The engine is pretty much sealed other than the intake and a snorkel takes care of that. But you have to take all the connecters and use dielectric grease on them, that includes lights as well. It's not expensive just time consuming, and as you can see very fun when done. I knew a guy who did this to his rubicon, and he took it through a huge ass lake and the electonics all died in it, apparently he missed something. Good pics and videos though. I enjoyed them. Blazin That is a very nice Blazer you've got I like it.

I like how you come back around and tell that guy in the Ford the a Chevy made that path ;D...Pretty cool stuff. Although what happened there on that last try up the hill? ???
Title: Re: A bunch of pics updated 11-7-07
Post by: Blazin on November 07, 2007, 04:17:20 pm
That was far from the last trip up that hill. The last time up it was dark, and at the very top ( front wheels were already over the top ) the rear end kicked over to the left. Left rear was on the side facing bank. I thought it was going to go over, but it clawed its way over the top.
That F150 was on its second year at that party. Not bad for a free truck, 300 six, std. trans. no lift, & 38" tires under it. We built the back half of the frame out of 2x4 1/4" wall square stock this year as we broke it in half last year.

Yeah, I love my truck too, but everyone has their price. I bought my truck for $1500, I'f I fix it up a bit and someone offers me like $3000 for it it'll be sold, and I'll get another one and fix that one up too.
