    Sooooooooooo on thursday night a few of us went off roading. It was good fun for awhile when we were about to head home and my buddy dares me to drive through a rather large puddle.... he said "its not more than a foot deep at the most". So i listened to him and decided to drive through it.....

    At that moment my nose droped and the 4runner was on one hell of a angle............ Put it in 4 low in reverse eased onto the gas and started sinking deeper and on a worse angle.

    Moral of the story dont trust your friends and always check to see how deep a puddle is before you decide to go through it!!! :D

    And after all that a 2005 Dodge ram HEMI with an off roading package could pull me out. Had to call in the big guns..... a 1955 Dodge Power wagon with a PTO driven winch.

    This Guy!

    As u can imagine it was a interesting night..... and it got worse.

    The side that went under.... is the side my ECU is on. Which is now fried and full of water!

    So if anyone has a 3VZ 4X4 A/T Computer kicking around... that would be SUPER!

    Thx!

    I hate to say is SVS, but it looks like Predracer has you beat.

    Sorry to hear bout the 4Runner, good luck with the ECU. Have you tried junkyards? I know that there are a few 4Runners like that where I bought my overpriced seats for my now dying 4x4.

    I've been there as well but not quite that deep! I had my whole front end under water at a a very steep angle but I was relatively flat from side to side.
