Campbell River BC on Vancouver Island in Canada on
well, where to start? :confused:

i'll start with i broke all the 4x4ing cardinale rules you can and even more. :doh: i'll cut this short i was testing the new 3b and it started as a drive around town then down the back roads and in a river and off the bank and now she sits on her roof 15 - 20 feet under the lake. just wondering if anyone could give a hand in the rescue of my rig before the river rises anymore. I'm working an a diver and some trucks i have a 8000 winch and not enough rope yet.
i'm trying to set this up for saterday oct 20. if anyone can help that would be sweet. I live in campbell river on vancouver island.
here is my e-mail l_smirfitt@hotmail.com thanx Les
 
any help would be sweet, but the key unit will be the diver, so if anyone knows anyone with dive gear it would realy help. ( new name for the truck is "Titanic" ) i have a buddy that has a buddy, but he is wishy washy about it and i think he will jam-out.

thanx for the help!
 
Damn, that really sucks! Consider this a free bump up for a good cause.

Through the window onto the roof, then onto the back with it ending in a freezing swim and a 11 k walt till some wunter chick let us in the back of her truck and totaly drove like a loonitic ( can we say Rick Hanson potencial ) but would not take us home, anly to the highway where we tryed to flag anyone down for about 45 min. then some more hunters picked us up and got us home a 7:00 am truck sank about 2 - 2:30 am.
 
i knew a guy in illinois who sunk his fullsize bronco in a lake about 20 years ago. rebuilt it into a show truck.

it can live again. but it'll take a heck of a lot of work.
 
it has only been on the road for 3 weeks, after a semi frame off rebuild and paint job. spent 6 monthes on it and seazed the motor on the way to vancouver for my B-day, the bouy where taking me so science world. so 300 bucks to get it home so i could put the backup 3b that has sat in the rain for 5 years and unger my work bench for 1 and see if it would fure and it did, ran better the the original one for 1 hour till she sank. didnt even have the hood on it yet
 
This sucks, lot's of hard work down the drain. I feel for you......
 
good god man! atleast you made it out. You should document the extraction with pics.
 
Sorry about your situation. Hope all goes well.

This may sound weird, but could you maybe take and post some pictures of the extraction of your rig on here? It'd be interesting to see how it's done.

Anyone else think so?:confused:
