Yup, its under water (video)


Wonder how his winch liked that little swim???:???:

When you run a crane, you're supposed to know the weight of what you're lifting.............kinda the same thing here - just how deep is that water??

Pretty funny.........glad it wasn't me!:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's not a Jeep. I don't remember what it's called but it's a copy of the TJ and I think it's a diesel8)8). It may have been made in South America. I would think the grille is different because of Jeep's trademark grille. -John

Always remove the doors during fording operations to allow the vehicle to sink and gain traction.
 

It is called a Troller; the snorkel, by the way, comes from the factory. They sell pretty well in Brazil.

The Ford engine was only used in the Dakar-Cairo 2000; the actual engine in the production models is a VW...

jfrabat have you seen my mutt on miami streets yet?and do you own a troller?
No, I have not seen it; but I drive mostly from Doral to Blue Lagoon (in front of MIA), and I am not in Miami for long periods (I travel a lot)...

By the way, since you guys like rivercrossings, here is a Toy crossing a river back home (Panama) that I'm sure you will enjoy...

The Yellow one looks pretty sweet!

Be nicer if the windshield folded down though.
I like the cage & door opening nerf bars, & the "X" braced main hoop.

Fender treatments are tight as well.
