I still like to know what the Triangle Boyz do to make them float/bob on top of the
water? Is it just the Bigger Mud tires (30+ Mudzillas)?

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
