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!

The one of Hurf? If so, I will look and see but I believe I have a larger copy. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yep. There's a Hummer only calendar that comes out every year. Now that the 2006 one is done, I'm helping look for shots to make it into 2007. The shot that I linked above is one that I took that made it into the 2006 calendar.

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.

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.

I looked but don't have a larger copy of it. Try PMing Hurf and see if he has a larger version. He isn't on here that often anymore but saw a post from him recently.
