We were egging Jay on about testing his snorkel, so he thought he'd humor us:

And then the poor guy damn near gets creamed by his heavy cooler when he tries to take it out:

Jay going for a swim

Eventually, Jay just had enough of the heat and decided to go back in for another swim XD:

Such a graceful swan dive

where was this at?
 






Damn, that's a ballsy move there. Plus 10 manpoints for that, haha.
 












Ya, after an oil change, some fuel dryer and the computer from my truck it got him home.
 






It was at Rausch Creek more specifically Lake Christy.
 






Yeah...um Computers and water don't mix so well:rolleyes:

Snorkel Tip #1. If your putting a snorkel in to drive thru deep water..move the compter higher too.;)
 






He went thru there twice.. The first time he did fine staying more to his right.. The second time we egged him on and he probably got a little too much confindence in himself and drove thru the middle.
 






Jesus Christ Jay! Hahahahaha! I've heard horror stories about Christy eating trucks alive - maybe you missed those tales. :p:

You got some balls. :D
 












awsome, im a whoops! :D

and yes the snorkle does work, but aparently the rest of the truck cant keep up

I had really wanted to come back in towards the bank on my pasenger side but the l/f fell in real quick and she got away from me, had i realized there would be such a sudden drop i would have reeeeaaallly rethought that line. i wasnt shooting to go through the midle, i wanted to enter a litle bit up bank from where i initially exited and head back towards my original line. i atleast new better than to go directly across. had i gone the way i came i would have had no problem
speaking of any chance on seeing the vid where i made it?

my gahones got alittle big after walking through that washout, and blowing through the lake the first time didnt help either.

I do have to say that im insanely impresed with the old girls perfomrmance this weekend regaurdless, i think i pushed it harder than i have yet in her and she aced everything i threw at her, except for that last plunge. and even after that we made the drive home, so alls forgiven

Micah trailers his truck, so i was able to steal his comp and make the drive back to jersey

and just for the record i fell out the back of the truck twice after we got her out

Jake, thanks for the tow out, and then the long pull back to the parking lot.
ben, thanks for the trip to walmart

i got everything out of the truck today, but we got hit with a insane store before i could clean it, so tomorow im gonna hose it inside and out then get it into the garage and set about getin to work on it.
i think an ecu relocate is going to be in order while shes down

 






it figures i miss all the fun!!!!!! when are you all going again??????
 






well the lightning let up, so i just got a bunch of looks from people for standing outside in an apertment complex in the rain hosing out the inside of my truck :D
 






You really are 'speshul', Jay ;) Five got a great video of you going through the first time all the way to 3 minutes after you swamped her, but it's some ridiculously huge size, like 276 mgs, so I can't post it to the forum nor will Hotmail let me send it to you. Sorry :( I can make you a CD with all of mine and Five's pix, though.

Hahaha! Jay, the next time I wheel with you I fully expect you to bury it up to the windows again. Disappointed I missed the fun. :D
 






You need one of these next time out ;)
