Re: Snorkel Run
You're a Jagerschnitzel Burrito. I've spent a couple of years in
Germany myself. Sound just like a Mexican fiesta, with not enough aqua.

Don't they float then? At some point, don't you have to flood the interior?

I never saw any of them appear to lose traction. I got a funny feeling
you would need a 'lot' more air than the cab holds to float a tank like
that.
They also have a splash guard on the front bottom that looks like the
front prow of a boat.
They were a riot on the sand pit walls! In order to make the top of the
biggest one, they 'all' had to be going fast enough at the 2/3 point
that the emergency systems fired off. The horn starts honking and the
headlights and flashers all come on flashing.
We were standing at the top saying 'nope' he isn't making it if the horn
and lights didn't fire off.

A (cubic) yard of water weighs almost 1690 pounds, so it might be hard to
get bouyancy to affect traction in a Wrangler-size vehicle, but in an
expedition box like the original Land Rover, seems to me might be a problem.
I frankly don't know whether their passenger compartments were sealed.
