Our local 4X4 club getting wet.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but mod's feel free to move it.
I know this is a Bronco forum but it is also full of off road enthusiasts. Our local 530 and Roseville off road went up into the foothills for a little water fun. Broke the tongue on the BBQ trailer and a busted rear axle. No one left behind and a wild time, with lots of fun. Kind of long at 11 minutes. Would you do this with your Bronco?

Well. I can say that IF I watched others pick a line and successfully make it across the river, I'd be game.
I definitely wouldn't be the first.
That requires either larger cojones or a larger wallet than I currently possess.
The rest of it just looked downright fun.
Looks like a great time.
I'd love to watch it with real audio vs. background music dubbed in.

To add to it, I definitely want to see more videos like this vs. debate about interior quality, how green is grey, and will my Snapple collection fit in the console.
And definitely want to see videos of people in their 6G trekking off road.
Stuff like this makes the wait that much harder for me. But a very entertained wait, as long as I get to watch this kinda stuff.

Thanks for posting. Looks like you guys had a good time. The forum will be a happier place once more trip reports and journals are posted.

Good stuff! I'm going to try a few large puddles first.

Wouldn't do it Day 1 but maybe down the road after I've broken it in a bit, gotten that first door ding, pinstripe, etc. and after watching the line and the current of course.

What bronco type did you order 2DR or 4DR?

I noticed the Lincoln Locker at 6:15. What caused the rear axle failure?

What's out water fording depth... 3 feet.. so rough estimate we can go to the top of our tires bone stock with no worries?

He gunned his tahoe up an extremely steep hill and bounced at the top. Turned the entire rear diff into a salad.

That'll do it! Thanks for the close-up.
