Richland Rd July 5, 2013 (Pic Heavy)

Awesome pics!  Looks like y'all had a good ride!

Those last few pictures with the deeper crossing... I noticed in the facebook video that a couple of yall really got that rear end in the water pretty deep!  Looked like fun, but just curious if any got inside?  I haven't been to Richland Rd in about 7 years, but most of the footage still looks about the same

That is the first optional crossing by the bridge right at the beginning. There are lines to not dunk down like that, but with the water raging as it was I'm sure it isnt so simple!

Oh I'm sure it wasn't too easy to avoid, but what fun would that have been anyways haha!  I'm just curious how water "resistant" the seals are around the rear of the FJ's.  I've only seen and heard about the ease of flow into the front area of them, but haven't heard much about the rear.

There are all those vents near the rear bumper under the taillights... I'd at least check the jack storage area, ect.

 

Hmmmmm, touche sir... I didn't know that!

We took the easiest lines.  The other lines on this occasion would have put the vehicles in deeper water and there was a fallen log in the exit path.  The end where in the water for a small amount of time, I doubt any would even reach the vents.
