It does little to protect the engine during water crossings. If the water is higher than the tops of the tires, it will be beating your fan blades off and will get into the electrical system unless you're running a diesel. Diesel is a different game.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-18412000112821015172018-09-07T18:32:06.544-07:002018-09-07T18:32:06.544-07:00Yes it does!

Hell, I took my old AWD Astro into some interesting places. <br /><br />And speaking of Scouts. My grand daddy had a 1965 Scout and we drove that thing through a 24" deep blizzard all day. Got it back to the shop cuz Pop said it wasn't pulling right... Sure enough. It broke the end off one of the axle shafts at the wheel.<br /><br />Went over to the IH dealer and to this day I remember the parts guy saying, "oh yea, you'll get the shaft..."<br /><br />:-DTactless Wookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862772337726377080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-21167195373684954062018-09-07T16:00:39.956-07:002018-09-07T16:00:39.956-07:00Thing is, those aren't marketed to you or me.....Thing is, those aren't marketed to you or me....they are marketed to the Millenial suburbanite who thinks offroading is parking in the grass...<br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-49236838429148018242018-09-07T15:59:20.509-07:002018-09-07T15:59:20.509-07:00And how was that self serving statement germane to...And how was that self serving statement germane to the subject?
