Seems the beavers built a dam and backed water up in the low spots of the road to my hunting area... I was a bit apprehensive, but the Dodge handled it just fine...

I've had the '99 for six years now. Best feature - it's long since paid for. I keep telling myself that I'll treat it to a winch and a limited slip if I intend to keep it very long... Been a good truck, nothing fancy, just a little 318 V8 and a 5-speed manual. Tires are a bit oversize, good shocks, good brakes and a canopy on the bed during the winter months. This simple little truck has done everything I've asked, snow, ice, mud, sand, rocks and various combinations while hauling and/or towing. Hard to beat a decent pickup for an all-around hunting & fishing vehicle.

Regards, Guy

I do use the heck out of this thing, year round, and for a stocker, it does fine. Do believe I could use a winch though... smile

mud bogger - that looks to be a pretty serious water crossing!

Yea thats what happens when you let your buddies convince you that your rig is the one that needs to be used when bird huntin.

It is a large creek and we debated weather it was a good idea or not for 15 mins. Some how we figured it was.

THe passenger side was in a deeper spot than the drivers side luckily allowing the airbox to stay above water.

If you get a winch you will find yourself suck 100% more often
because you dont think about digging yourself out. Trust me on that one. This is what it looks like outa the water.

Had an '88 Cherokee for a few years, then this '95 GC for nine years until my son rolled it. Great rigs, capable of some amazing rough-country travel. Looks like yours is well setup!

Mines an 89. And your right about them being capable. I keep putting mine in places its not sposed to go. Im becoming a big fan of the uni-body on the cherokee. No frame hangs down to hang up on stuff.

Just wish I had a lil more than 3" lift on the jeep.
