Isuzu Trooper to run in 3 ft floods

[niky]

Are you sure?

5 feet on a Trooper equates to water over the windshield.

The only way to drive in water that deep is to use a snorkel, which moves your air intake from the engine bay to the roof level.

Sure, the SUV will be able to cross deep water, but the water will still be able to enter the alternator, engine bay electronics, transmission, oil sump and transmission and differentials.

If the crossing is long enough, water will also enter the cabin and ruin your carpeting... and possibly your engine computer and dashboard.

The best course of action when confronted witth any flood crossing over 1 foot deep and a hundred feet long is to simply avoid it... Unless you have an old school diesel with no electronics, or a diesel with water-sealed electronics.

Three feet is already headlight level on stock height Troopers. Borderline passable. Meaning if yiu have no problems on the way, you might make it... but there is a chance you might not,

the vid I saw was not actually a trooper but a jeep. It looks old and it has snorkels so that must be the reason why it lasted long on an over the roof water, it must have used old school diesel. ANyway, I was just asking because I saw this LandCruiser fitted with a snorkel on the neighborhood. IDK if it's already there when he bought it tho. thanks
