What you don't want to see after crossing nolans!

Yeah the Jayco held up quite well but definitely don't take them through water deeper than the floor. They are not at all watertight.
I lost a wheel off mine at 100kms an hr near Gregory. Sheared all the studs off and the wheel went bouncing off into the scrub. Found it just before dark but it took 2 1/2 hrs. The road from Lawn Hill was a bit nasty in places

Scrubby has an easy go round now just upstream - tyres hardly get wet as opposed to that 50m long muddy 1.5m deep cesspit!

Logan's looks a little gatorish but to be honest none of the OTL crossings except the Jardine would hold a saltie for very long. Maybe you could be unlucky with a passing through small male??? all but perhaps cockatoo lack sufficient food supply to keep a salty satisfied for long.

That would be a good design feature, Billy. Don't know how hard a bloke would have to be pushing limits to get the opening of a snorkel at roof height well bucketed with water! ;)

Definitely more of a risk with just the stock air intake. (Where my preaching for leaving joints unsealed were aimed)
