Hi John,
A few years ago my brother took his m37 w/ fording kit nearly 150 yds across a flooded sandbar with water well over the hood, and the windshield making a bow wake. When he first went down onto the flooded sandbar the near empty full tank and cargo bed kept the rear end floating for close to 30 seconds. He tried reversing only to have the rear lift more. Quickly realized only way out was forward! Riverbank full of locals cheering along. "hey ya'll watch this!" Jim
