There was another video about a guy that drove his deuce into a lake with a bunch of guys in the back, almost submurged it and then drove out. I was a good one too, but I can not find it.

I saw the one about the guy who drove it in a creek that was almost up to the top of the cab.

He had two boys in the back. No lifevests. It was kinda scary to me. He was creating a bit of a wake too. Seems like they should NOT have been back there.

Kids will be kids.

Glad to see this video again.

Just so everyone is on the same page.

Anytime you take your truck into or under water, you need to perform the follow up maintenance. Seals, wheelbearings, fluids, etc.

Theoretically all tactical vehicles are capable of deep water fording....you have to take steps before and after doing the deed.......if you had clear water and a level hard bottom it would be cool to ride around underwater...until the environmental wackos saw you and had a conniption fit.

Under water underwater? Theres a vidio somewhere of water 3 feet over the drivers head! But if your talking about axle hubs under water then.. when I was at Richloam Rally in Nov. We had some trucks that were top of the tire deep in water for a period of about 1.5 hrs, one truck for 3 hrs, this amount of time in the water surely reeks havoc with wheelbearings at least,and sometimes diff bearings,if maintenance is not done after.The deuce that was stuck...it had water in everything. Then you have some guys that don't do the maintenance, and you get a call and he says "Hey man,my front wheelbearing just went and I barley made it home! I wonder why?? Gotta do the maintenance!!

Yep, just ask Ben how much fun he had after 1.5 hours in the drink.

When the video was made, there was no such thing as a m35a2, more then likely that truck was a GASSER
