Bill the closest big town would be Modesto. La Grange is about 40 mins east towards the foothills.

It was a great day. Lots of mud. We had two X's. Goliath and myself. A buddy in a old Chevy dually showed up with 38's. And we had a heep Rubicon join us. Lots of mud, tow straps and water. I went thru a pond that was a little deeper than I thought. The water was up to the door handles. I made it but barely, kept waiting for her to suck up some water. Now I need to get rid of the water inside.

I told him that one was deep. But he didn't listen. Wish you would have gotten a pic me going thru that deep water. Still can't believe she didn't hydro lock on me.

Been there before when I ran fordyce in my old ranger I water come uo over the hood for a few seconds. I thought for sure I was going to hydrolock that time. Luckly that was the last water crossing. The first water crossing on fordyce I sucked a bit of water cus my airfilter was soaking wet when my ignition module died 5 minutes after crossing.
