    I did this once in Alabama, only it was only deep enough to just cover my first step. I was scared to death, kept waiting for the front end to drop because the road had washed away. By the grace of God I made it, and I will NEVER try it again.

    i don't think my truck would have made it. after that big rain storm last night. that's still rolling through the east. it's obvious my truck don't like water.

    once in awhile the speedo and ecm would shut down. and jakes would kick on. thank goodness no one hit me last night.

    i'll never try something like the video though.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    That sounds like something a safety director got out of pre-school coloring book.

    Just sayin.
