Oh? Is that right? You realize you're treading into pompous territory right?

As for your thoughts on it, you probably shouldn't follow us on some of our more 'advanced' trips then. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Depending on the trail we're on we may get to do that plenty and one of the benefits of owning a Mitsubishi is that it's usually pretty water tight for short river/stream crossings unless of course you've modified it in such a way that water could intrude the passenger compartment or you perform a driver error like stop in the middle of a stream or cross it too quickly that you pass your own bow wake.

Driven properly the engine's intake has plenty of 'baffles' that allow it to reduce the chance of ingesting excessive water on short crossings even in streams that are hood deep.

That said, based on my own experience on many, many trips these rig's aren't perfect but I would argue that they are better than many rigs when it comes to this kind of water protection and can and frequently do handle those crossings without issue. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
