Well it has rained ten inches + in less than 48 hrs here and theres lots of dumb people driving around in their little cars getting flooded out. So my buddy Jeremy went out to pull a few people out that were stalled. these pics are him entering a flooded street to help a guy in a Ranger. He can get it up over the front bumper and keep goining so hes been helping people out.

You can go through alot of water if you just go slow.But,most people will never figure that out.I guess they get panicky and hurry through it.

ND_guy · 05-07-2007, 11:12 AM

HAHAHA you said he could get the water over his front bumper and still drive, But I dont see a bumper. So It must have washed away.
Glad to see you getting out to help the ones that sunk.

P.S. Make sure to CHANGE the rear end lube. I sucked some water into my blazer 12bolt out "playing" and Later when I heard the howl I had the pleasure of buying bearings and axle shafts.

I agree with 1FUN71, about rangers and water not mixing. About two years ago, after a hard rain, I got called on an accident run(I'm a volunteer firefighter).Showed up on scene and there was a ranger upside down in the ditch. All we could see of it was the rear bumper and the two rear tires stickin up out of the water.We weren't even sure of what it was until the wrecker flipped it over and pulled it out of the water.That was, to say the least, an interesting night.

True fact. I watched a '67 Impala completely submerge its headlights & grille for a hundred yards or so on Albert street in Shreveport. Resurfaced looking for all the world like a mutant submarine, with water gushing out from the bottoms of all four doors, and four of us standing around our drowned Vega with our jaws dropped.

Just gotta keep the water out of the carb and you'll be okay.
