just plowed thru some deep water not too long ago, i had a wall of water coming over the hood, not the same wall you would get when flying thru 10 inches or so.. but im sure this was over 24 inches... and i definetly hit it faster than 5 mph.... anyways only casualty was that it ripped off and crumpled my license plate like a peice of paper..

overall i rated the experience on these criteria

overall fun: 10
eye poppability when realizing you should measure depth first b4 attempting: 10
potential for disaster: 9
casualty rating: 2
overall experience rating:
8.8

good times!

OMG that looks deep! I took the left side of that stream....If I had gone 6 feet further to the right, it would have been over the hood. Good job on not getting stuck.....blub blub blub

Yeah, first thing I learned about fording water...take off your front plate!

wannabeH3 11-25-2005 11:50 PM

Hey guys- I'm a newbie to the board and came across those pics, that's fantastic! Out of my own curiosity, which "mode" did you have it in? 4 hi lock, 4 low, or 4 low with the back diff's locked?

I just picked up my H3 and am still trying to understand what situations those are all used for.

wannabeH3 11-30-2005 07:23 AM

4low locked... i wasnt gonna take any chances there

Beastmaster 12-01-2005 10:43 PM

Is there a bigger version of that? And who took it and where can I get the larger copy of that?

That same trip we did H1's, H2's (the H3 wasn't out yet), and had one Jeep Rubicon. All splashed in like that.

I have pics of H2's as deep. I don't publish them for warranty conflict prevention issues.

The one of Hurf? If so, I will look and see but I believe I have a larger copy.
