: : Great story... Everyone that truly loves these great steel beast has a great story either in the past or waiting in the future...

: New years day '97 in the sunny South my brother and I in two old M37's with fording kits are "cruising the local sandbar" . It is packed with the usual lift kit and chrome diff cover gang because the flooded river has the usual trails "impassable". As only a younger brother can he goes straight up the middle of the trail we passed two days earlier when it was dry. Once the bed stopped floating the water level settled just under the window and and slowly went forward for about 200 yards. All traffic on the sandbar just stood by and waited to see...Never missed a beat, rolled out the other side opened the doors to let out the water and drove off into redneck history.

: Spent the next day doing the appropriated oil, grease etc change but what a day!!! What a truck!!!

: Jim

I guess there nis a lesson to be learned from this story: Open your tailgate for maximum traction!

Great story!

Jim
