What I learned:

Mass wins every time. Colliding with something is all about who has more mass. Although flood water pushed around a lot of cars The Beast just trucked on.

The door, window and tailgate seals need to be replaced with age. The parts are stupidly expensive but it can't be ignored.

If you have not done so already, reseal your roof lights. For those who can't park inside, like me due to the height, clean the drains often.

I thought I would never jack the truck up but now want to go at least another inch.

LED lighting was the best thing I ever did. Changed every light and added off road work lights. They outperformed everything. At one point the sheriff was directing me where to point them because they worked so well.

The highlight was pulling a jeep out of a ditch when another jeep had failed. To be fair, it was a "mass" thing again. However, I would not admit it at the time. We had a good laugh. lol

A few dents and dings to repair and the carpet and padding are drenched (door seals). Good time to replace all the padding anyway. I never felt as safe in this truck as I did with all the great mods I have seen on this site and performed on my own truck. Thanks for all the great ideas.

If I could figure out a better way to vent the exhaust higher I could have stayed in the water longer. Snorkel?

 

Awesome!! And thank you for the help you gave to those in need. I'm a bit too far to be of any real help for those in Texas myself but I'd have been there and likely still would be if I was closer and could help out in some way.

 

Good on you and your H2 for helping. I wish I could have been there to do something for those folks.

 

Imagine all the H1, H2, H3 going to be flood salvage and on used car lots up north. Course with all the rain and car wash leaks these suffer, maybe it don't really matter much.
