Default Vancouver Island, Canada

Took my new Jeep out on the trails with SoVan Isle Jeep club (South Vancouver Island Jeep Club) with only 650 km on it.. Great time ! My son was in the back watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and laughing the whole way !

One member hydrolocked his engine and bent a rod, but Jeep is replacing it for free..very luck..

My white whale..












I have more, but on the Mrs's iPhone..I'll post later

He was going through a gravel pit when his front end dove straight down. It wasn't his first time there, but he had never hit it before. I'm not sure what "exactly" happened, but the water was up to the windshield... I''ll put a pick up after work..

Seeing that made up my mind..Snorkel is a priority purchase for me now..
