LOST JEEPS :: View topic - A little mud at Paragon

nope, not sarcasm. I'd love to give that a try. Is there anything I have to do to waterproof the Liberty before tackling a small stream like that? How about disconnecting the accessory belt until reaching the other bank, is that necessary?

BTW, I wouldn't even attempt that until I had rock rails, skid plates, a 2.5" lift, some MTR's wrapped around my wheels, front and rear recovery points, and somebody else there to pull my butt out when I get stuck.

Anyway, sweet rig, when I'm finished building my liberty, it's going to look alot like that, minus the wheels and light bar. Later. -Nate

Sapien, You don't need to water proof for a water crossing that size. We did a few like that in Moab. No problems. You are right about the armor, rails, and lift but you can still do those rocks with the stock tires. I did Moab rocks with my SR/A's with no problem. Besides, if you destroy the stocks, you have an excuse to get those MTR's. If you need recovery points, I have a rear tow hook I can sell you. .

Later. -Nate Have a look at this water crossing (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/845243). Not a drop came inside my 2005 Sport 4X4, and though some water came into the air filter housing, it has drainage holes, so there were just a few drops inside when I opened it !! Go out, have fun. And yes, always bring someone who can pull you out of trouble if the need arises.

crazy... did you keep going in after that picture? Looks like you were still heading deeper...

Yep, I kept going. You can see more pictures following the link below. And no, it was not deeper, but hell, I felt like throwing some ballast (me included!) out of the window. Thrilling, though
