I'll get around to posting some videos sooner or later. 



I'm still trying to get the truck sorted out.  Same problem Brian had; the front end just won't stay planted.  The drive home was not kind to the front tires.  Jacked up the front end last night and found play in pretty much every joint imaginable.  It goes in tomorrow but should all be covered under my extended warranty.  I threw the factory tires back on and knocked the larger dents out of the skid plate just in case.

Brian - I'm pretty open for a coffee or beer...I'm in the NW so just say when and where...



I guess I should knock on wood.... aside from a small flood - she's still going strong

Hey Khamul, did you find out where did the water enter the cabin from?



I was under the impression that the door seals were resistant to leakage.

I haven't done a thorough check but I don't think it came inthrough the doors... underneath maybe, I'm going to crawl under this weekend and see if I can find anything..... but I was in pretty deep water for longer than expected until I realized to turn off the @#$%^& stabilizer system as it was working against me...

I cleaned out the intake on Monday as I did get some water into the box - luckily not much and it didn't get into the engine thankfully.... wasn't surprised as the whole front end went underwater went I went in..

I think a snorkle may be in order down the road!  :0)



But.... it was freakin fun!!

Yeah it looked pretty deep from the pictures! I will be glued to this thread to see what you find for penetrations that the water may have come through. I was actually out that weekend as well in pretty deep water for a bit, I didn't have anything come into the cabin though. I could hear water running through my exhuast though, that was a bit scary.
