No just drove straight in....
Only joking.....
We all got out and had a good look, like any responsible off roader would do. Plus quite a few cars had been through before us, so I knew how deep it was, plus I had done it last year, and the water levels were just slightly higher.

Bernard, unfortunately that's not really true. I was out with 3 Toyota Land Crusiers, and even they were all around the K reg, they have superior ground clearance. They sailed over rocks I struggled over. As for the river crossing, I'll post some pictures when I'm back on my Mac.

Your's makes me want a roof rack even more now!
Have you fitted rods or got an IID tool to lift it?
Were the cruisers running raised suspension?
Great photo's and reminds me how fun it can be to drive through water. In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
