....here in africa you need better protection. You can not imagine what kind of animals are in the water sometimes
As smaller the more dangerouse they are! So not the best idea to set a feed in

Not Sportsmobile I know, but more fun that a barrel of monkeys. I've done this nutty trip 3 times as 'The designated wheelman'

2WD w/ open differential and 6" lift. No 4x4 so momentum was my friend. Skinny pedal down and went for it!

Okay, that just makes me smile. So cool.

Here's a tip: The SST is in February. We always pre-attach a tow strap, rope, whatever to a strong anchor and wrapped, zip tied, it to the bumper, as a precaution. If you stall, get stuck, it's still a PITA as you still have to wade out in the cold water, and recover, but at least you don't have to 'dive under' to attach a recovery strap

Nice thread!

Haven't driven deepest that top on front bumper, it's too dangerous to suck water in airbox intake...



Take care to stop the air compressor to avoid it to suck watter. ;-)
