Any problem crossing the creek?

[Paul_Elbisser]

Nope, that was the deepest part. Just a small dip and then it comes back up. Water didn't even come past the door seals, even after I got bit by the rock on Little Sluice. Yes the water came up on the door.
 Phil had some in his sami cab, and so did Chris in his FJ40. Tony said he had some splashing up his shifter boot.(twin shifter).
 My intake is on at the firewall, so no water intake problem there.  Chris is running an open element on his V8 FJ40.

 Tony would know more about his and Phils intake. I can't remember the flow, but we did check before we went. Tony said I would be ok, so I went.

I ran the Sierra Trek one weekend, then drove over and ran the Rubicon the other.  They were both beautiful trails.  parts of Fordyce were harder than the Con, parts of the Con were harder than the Creek!  Fordyce really doesnt let up on you.  From start to finish.  The Con has lazy sections that you can relax on.
