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.

add a snorkel......

 

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!

once you have all of the materials, it is a easy as un screwing the old one and screwing in the new one. id say 10 min. MAX

 

Just remember I hydrolocked my engine in less than 2 feet of water, that breather tube isn't that high up....

 

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.

 

ya on second gens the intake funnel thing is right behind the headlight. I like this idea: http://www.brian894x4.com/Mytrucksmodifications.html go there and scroll about 1/4 way down the page.

 

FYI, it is illegal to drive through the creeks and small rivers, even if they are on your own property! It violates wetland rules, regardless of the stream size or river size. I'm not going to get on a soap box here, as I hate the rules. But not abiding by the rules causes problems for everyone. 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!

 

I think that's a state by state thing, as it's not illegal in Ca (how ironic).

 

Perhaps next time you should try it at a slower speed.

2ft of slow moving water should not be a problem at slow pace.

 

Think Bruce was trying to make a wave in the front but the water just went through his inner fenders(?) because he didnt have any at that time...

 

That's true in some areas, but in Arkansas its not illegal. There are certain areas where it IS illegal but if its private property and not in a reservation boundary its perfectly fine.

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.
