Number 1 reason you dont take a stock heigth vehicle through water.

Consider yourself LUCKY i had to replace my Engine a few weeks ago. And my 99 is on 36's.

And of course it happened on the last run of the day also. haha

I dont believe it was in 4hi either. If you look at the video at 2:15 thats when I enguaged the 4HI, the whole time leading up to that I was in 2wd. When we drained the transfer case it was full of water/mud as was the rear diff. Maybe the gunk wouldnt let the truck engauge correctly. After all the fluids were changed it switches to 4wd easily and the truck runs smooth and shifts smooth.

The tranny,motor, and front diff all had clean oil/fluids.

Thanks for the compliments, maybe the mods should sticky this thread. So this crap doesn't happen to anyone else.

Yeah I was watching when you were stuck and getting on it. I see the rear passenger tire throwing water up, but nothing from the front. I bet of that dang 'ol 4wd woulda worked you coulda got out.

Great video, thanks for sharing

the only way people learn is through experience. Funny **** though.

I had to replace all my spark plugs and cops after the "last run of the night" when I first bought the truck I've got now. It was a scary drive home.

Good choice on the Toadies to.
