Water Crossings
I'll just get right to it...we've got a bunch of creeks and small rivers and such around my property and I've always loved goin through stuff like that. The deepest one that I've found so far is probably around 2 feet deep at the most. What would I have to have in order to cross that without messing anything up on the Yota?
I guess with this new found height from the lift and my new tires I'm just diein to find somethin to do!

Make sure you add extended diff breathers.
The rear is the easiest, with the front on the 2nd gens being a lot harder to do.

I think a snorkel is a little overboard for what I'm talking about...but extending the diff breathers is definately something I will into doing, about how long did it take you to do it?
Thanks for the advice, more would be great!

At least get the air intake out of the very front of the grill. Not sure how it is on a 95, but my 91 was right behind the headlight. I moved it back with some aluminum dryer vent and put it in the front quater panel by the driver side rear view mirror facing the rear of the vehicle. The wake from a 2 foot hole will go over the hood.

You should do a little more checking on this with your local authorities to check on this. It does NOT matter if this is private or public land. Rules suck sometimes!
Arkansas has very defined rules, and when they are broken...they do NOT take it lightly. But for what I'm wanting to do its perfectly legal...thanks for the heads up though.
