That driver was good...thanks for the vid..
If the purpose of the excercise is to cross the river, I say mission accomplished!

I guess the dude didn’t read where it clearly reads “Land” Cruiser on the back of the truck. Something tells me a couple oil cans of Fosters were involved in this activity.

LOL, Bill Saif of Watertown NY had a fishing show and pretty much did this in a 70ish Cadillac when the River he was filming at suddenly overflowed.
If Teddy (the submarine commander) Kennedy had just....
Having gotten hired to drain diffs, engines, trans after some of these episodes, this guy was a moron. You never get all the water out of most of it and it soon turns to rust.
