Thread: 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

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)
