They haven't closed Pismo, have they?
Bill, in my region we have these things called rivers and creeks, and they
dont have concrete liners and dust on the bottoms.
I've had the floorboards awash many times.
Don't forget to extend the vents on axles,trans, T-case, and a
distributor-less ignition can be made submersible fairly easy.

Hi Jerry,
Yes, I have driven Pismo Beach: http://www.----------.com/pismo.htm
It's just that I consider that part of northern kalifornia from which we
wish to secede.

Point of reference - most tree huggers not in Oregon live in California,
and they have methodically shut down more and more trails to anyone but
hikers. The beaches were some of the first non-trails to go.

Pretty funny, Bill, but Dan busted me up with his comment.

Actually, some parts of Orange County are legitimate water crossings
when we get a heavy rain. Earlier this week, I was out on Beach Blvd.
in Stanton doing 25mph during a 9:30PM downpour, and hit some spots
where the water was spraying up continuously over my softtop and
windshield (and I have a 4" lift and 32"s). I actually ingested a bit
of water, but the K&N held it back long enough in the filter box (for a
couple of seconds), so that I felt a slight drop in power, but never
hydrolocked or suffered damage. At that moment, I decided that I was
never going to let standing water splashing a couple of feet over my
hood destroy my engine. I've made water crossings before, v-e-r-y
slowly, but never deeper than 18" to 24" deep. And that was by choice.
This will be one less thing to worry about, no matter where the water
I'm in came from.

Thanks,

Doug
