    Do you have a water crossing car bra?

    Just curious to see how many people have one or if not, why not?

    Dont use it often, if the water level is up we use them and often use it on multiple vehicles if we can get it back across the water.
    Most water crossings here are shallow enough to not need it and when they are deep enough the water flow is too fast for a safe crossing.
    Just peace of mind I guess

    The way I've been going, I'll need some soon, and they should fit the truck also!!!! lmao

    But no, I don't have one ...for myself nor vehicle.

    Not a bad investment if you are above wheel arch depth though ...

    I changed the location of the computer for that reason, it's now tucked up behind the bottom of the glovebox rather than the footwell ...probably only 6-8" higher than standard but could make all the difference one day (even though it's water tight apparently - still not worth the risk).

    I have had one for a few years that I got wIth a mag subscription. Never really seen the need. Last time in the high country in the GQ though I saw some big water crossings up over the bonnet. With the install of a bonnet scoop on the GQ it has severely affected the bow wave and changed the way the car fords. I reckon way more water got under the bonnet now with a bonnet scoop. It has affected the pressure bubble under the bonnet that the bow wave creates. I will use it next time.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Yeah I've used mine heaps of times up the cape and was glad I had it, water well over the bonnet and lapping at the windscreen on occasion. Its a micheles one. Only takes about 20 seconds to strap on, rate it highly.

    I agree - just more crap to clutter up the rear drawers. A cheap blue tarp does just as good a job and you can use it for many other things as well - such as: a shade awning, ground sheet when working under car, picnic sheet if ground is damp, wrap up stuff on roof rack to keep it dry or dust free, cover the seats when taking pets or kids 4 wheel driving, signal chopper in emergency, etc, etc.

    You should try to have at least two uses for everything you carry in the car.
