  • carrigan crossing the cox's river lidsdale state forest, goggles and flippers optional..
    Edit 2022: wow it’s been over ten years since we filmed this. This cruiser has now been moved on and I see the new owner has commented below. I also sold my cruiser (the one that chickened out). This crossing is usually around 40cm deep, we did walk out to almost half way and it was around 80cm deep so we decided to cross. The centre of the river had washed away and the cruiser had an empty sub tank and less then half a tank of diesel as well as an under slung spare tyre and hence so much buoyancy. If you look at my other vids you’ll see that I was driving my own cruiser through deeper sections of the same river to access the area the same day. I had fulltanks of diesel and a rear mounted spare tyre. We would Definitely NOT attempt the crossing again under the same circumstances. This is the coxs river near Lithgow, an amazing spot.

    ok so i thought i had better say a little in response to a few of the more negative comments. this section of river is usually about 6 metres across and about 40cm deep, we knew it was flooded and even drove out to test the depth in another car first, what happened next was that paul started to float, if he didnt float it would of just been another deep crossing, we only expected it to be maybe 1.2M or 1.4M deep, it actually was only about 1.5M deep, paul has over 20 years experience.

    in addition to below:, paul kept his cool in a situation he had to deal with and thankfully made it out safely, would he do it again.... i think not.. the cruiser that started to go in was myself and i was about to drive out and snatch him, however he started to make his own way out. if you look at my other videos from that weekend you can see that i was driving my own cruiser through 1.3M depth crossing and had no issues, its just the luck of the draw. that crossing is now forever "carrigans"

      Good door seals. a pocket of air is trapped in the rear keeping the back end up.
      He has the central diff locked so 50 percent of the power is going to the front wheels which are just touching the river bed.
      Because the LandCruiser is boyant, the front wheels only need the tiniest friction on the river bed to propel it forward.
      He had a well prepared vehicle, notice the snorkel for the air intake, without it he would have damaged the engine.
      Good driving, he didn't panic, a very gently throttle.

    • @Adi-kr5nd
      @Adi-kr5nd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@harveysmith100 It was the tires that kept the rear end up and the front end was down due to the weight of the engine, not the door seals as he emptied the water from his cab as he exited the crossing. But a solid effort by the driver nonetheless, I definitely don't think I would've had the guts to do it either. The good thing about these old '80s is the lack of electronics in the 1hz powerplant to keep it going, he could've stayed in the water for much much longer provided his snorkel was sealed properly.

    • @harveysmith100
      @harveysmith100 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Adi-kr5nd I didn't mean the door seals were totally water tight, just good seals. Some water got in but it was slow enough to allow the rear end to trap a pocket of air to keep the rear end up. Notice the rear doors are above the water line.
      The tires wouldn't produce that much buoyancy. I wouldn't even think they would produce enough to hold up the rear axle.
      If tires were enough to hold up the rear end, the same would happen to a Defender, they are lighter with a lighter chassis.
      Would you try that in a Defender?
