this was at low tide, two of the diesels with us did it at hightide, with water going up over the windscreen, only problems they both had (both sd33t) was the shut off valve jamming closed lol, had to disconnect it so they'd keep running on the drive home

Its the fact that he draged that caravan through as well, hard to tell how big it really is when coupled to the F series.. but it must weight atleast 2.5 tonnes?

haha 35 bucks at car lovers made sure there was no sand and salt left on the patrol, including inside the chassis rails, lanolex should take care of the rest:)

With such a large footprint I'd suggest the caravan would have floated some of the way.
