I was forced to drive the rounded-line in 30 inches (762 mm) of water the day after tropical storm Nicole (2010) hit the area. Not the most fun thing I have ever done, but Big Grey didn’t seem to mind.
I turned off of the main road that I live on, onto a dirt road (the only road open at that time, as the state workers and police were closing other conjoining roads down from flooding or complete washout) with farm fields on both sides, which at that point looked like a huge pristine lake that you could go fishing or boating in.
I drove slow and steady, so not to push too much water. The door seals held up pretty good to be factory original. No water came in. Big Grey doesn’t have a snorkel, just the factory high-rise air intake.
Took this photo after the water fording, no problems, just a lot of dirty water grime on the wheels, tires and lower portion of the body. Took a while to clean all up under the chassis.
