Really like the pic w/ the mountains in the background, where's that at? 

[alwayzbroken]

Judging by the second photo it looks like you put the snorkel to good use 

[Tice]

Ya buddy, that snorkel has saved my motors more times then I can count! I think that picture was taken on the snorkel debut run! You've got to test things out right

Thats taken in front of the Knik glacier. Theres a few more pictures of the area at my web page 

Nice!!! Is that Alaska? Canada?

Theres a few from Washington and a few from Alaska.. Haven't had the pleasure of wheeling Canada but some day maybe!!

Nice rig Jon

[ToyDozer]

Ohh that's good! That could be the next great counteractive marketing play by zuki??

Full width would have been an "arm" saver there!

I could certainly see how quickly that could jump out of no where and swallow you up.. I know I have and I'm sure most of you have too, done bomber runs down trails ( marked/designated or not ) and had trail debris come out of no where. Man that brings back memories of oh so many close calls! Used to love wheelin' with Tjeb he was king of crazy komakazi runs!

A little water came in the cab but only a little so I don't really know how cold it was. I always thought it would be cool to have a little sump pump action with side discharge! Just for comical value I've often considered a snorkel mouthpiece attachment, would be fun to hand that to your unsuspecting passenger just prior to submersion!

And with the snorkel mouthpiece, would you say here buddy suck on this 

Have seen this beast in action, very well set up. Really like the HP to # ratio. 
How about a 4 wheel powerslide that made me pucker watching it in the rear view. That would have been great video.

Norm you can snorkel on my sucker any time

That little power slide action was a blast! Could have been a real bummer but I think thats at least one of the reasons why it makes me smile just thinking about it
