I came across this under trails. All I can say is what were you thinking Nadim?

So, now for the technical discussion, is this truck toast? |

Ouch...I can't bare to look at that picture, it hurts.
Was it a diesel or a gas? If it was a V8, it must be screwed. |

A snorkle DOES NOT Double as a Periscope! |

Mel,
I was thinking the same thing. If it's a diesel and totally set up for swimming it might be okay. |

No, the sand ladders are there and in use. In this case they weren't quite long enough to span the puddle
Milan, when are we going to hear the details? |

That is a tragedy. Seeing that picture reminds me of another picture I saw here on Discoweb. I've searched all over and cannot find it. It was a series of pictures that showed perhaps an Isuzu Trooper? buried in water much like the above Disco. Anyone know where that is? I'd like to see that one again |

I don't remember where, but I saw a video clip of a Isuzu Rodeo w/an ARB snorkel going through some really deep water. And to make things more interesting, I think it was a gas engine. I'm not sure where I saw this but I think it had something to do with ARB. Anyone else see this??? |

Jroc,
that is what I was talking about.. I know that I ran across it via Discoweb a few months back but seeing that poor Disco in the water brought it back to my memory.. let me know if you find it.. Peace.. RS |

That is totally nuts. Those guys look like they are playing cards or something while the truck floats out of control. There is a great photo from the Camel Trophy of a guy sitting in a Disco up to his waist in water. Does anyone have that photo and can post it? |

I wouldent even think of going deep in a disco no matter how well submarine safe it was set up.
the smell of wet carpet growing really sucks
but I have had my scout to the middle of the windsheild for as far as 1/2 mile with no problems at all
well the only small one is when you come out of the water you sometimes are hauling a few thousand pounds of water in the cab and it can really make climbing the bank out of the water much tougher |

No problem with a Disco, just open the door!

Aside from the mud on the wheels and the front bumper, they really did get it sparking clean!!! |

Not that it matters... I just thought Id throw it in. I have the Camel Trophy video that the previous picture was taken from... those trucks were disabled and the task was just to get them across the river. It wasn't a driving incident. |
