so if i read correctly.. all i need to do is move up the coolant over flow vent somewhere more up...
then i can feel safer about getting my feet wet?
our one mud pit is fun as hell, but it fills with water and i dont want to suck water into my quad...
my wallet is empty... if it will break something i wont do it.... ( recently crashed and wrecked my a-arm and tie rod... my funds are gone)
a quick picture to show the depth of the one pit

that's the one pit, but we also have a stream running through our property and it would be fun to drive through if it wouldnt get water inside and ruin everything...

Shorse,
That play area LOOKS like FUN!
I have to tell ya though, that ain't
nothing to worry about unless your PICS
don't reveal another 2 ft drop down in the MUD, LOL.
I had mine near seat level several
times no snorkels nor mods, probably not the smartest
thing though, but our sense of wild adventure gets the
best of us sometimes.
But I do want to start making my quad more waterproof
too, Air on the side of safety, good thread!

so, i'll throw a tube on the coolant overflow.. and i should be safe to go another foot higher? i wont go seat high, (not driving through my pond) so like 6" above the foot rests and i should be good to go?
if i get stuck i have to walk to get the winch cable hooked up.. i think i'll stay where the water is not 3' deep...
thanks

ya if you go to the botum of your seat you will be just fine but any thing higher i would do some snorkeling but you will be fine thats what they are made for oh and one other thing make sher you keep the radatoe clean of mud so you dont over heat but if you are in mostly water you will be fine on that to
