Cool! Good to see another Blazer from Texas! In the future just simply edit your post instead of double posting. I see you are in Floresville... I am originally from Seguin. Welcome to the forum!

Looks like fun. That kind of thing cost me $2100 bucks. It's like getting shocked, I'm afraid of water now

No I did not get any water inside because my door seals are really good. Water was half way up the door one time in a flood and it still stayed water tight. In one of the video's I am running a snorkel because I have a K&N intake system on it and so the air filter is lower than the stock one to get cooler air. But, in one of the videos I am also not running the snorkel because I found out that as long as I dont dive in really fast, my air filter stays dry. I also have a steering stabilizer coming in the mail here soon to stop that front tire movement that you saw in the video.

Nice...the seals around my drivers side door aren't that great, so I don't think I'll risk going into any large puddles like this one! Again, Great vid.

Where's the snorkel at? I couldn't see it in either of the vids. Truck looks good but I avoid waterholes as much as I can. I still go through the odd one to get to another side of a trail but it's too much of a risk of hydrolocking your engine/bad on any bearings on the front of the engine.

It was just a rigged snorkel I made just for the video. You can't see it because it only goes up to the bottom of the hood in the engine bay, which is a foot higher than what my K&N air filter is.
