[Texascavers] a real 4x4 with a snorkel Re: [Texascavers] caving vehicle related
Dave, You forgot to mention that this is a real 4x4 - it has a snorkel, the air intake is above the roof line. I wonder if there is a snorkel for the driver? Or would they have a cave diver driving it through the really deep water? The only other time I have seen a 4x4 with a snorkel was around 2002 in Syracuse NY near LeMoyne College and it had Venezuela plates on it. Now if you really wanted to stir the pot, just suggest that NCRC and the various NCRC regions put in for vehicle grants. grin, duck, RUN!

Most of the ones in the UK do; the picture shows one of them. And they're not afraid to use them... When I was at university and a guy in our club fell down a pitch the Cave Rescue guys literally bounced their *brand new* Land Rover across the moors to get him. They'd had it delivered that morning, it was as yet unregistered and it had about 10miles on the clock :-) --Stefan -Original Message- From: David [mailto:dlocklea...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 5:11 PM To: Cavers Texas Subject: [Texascavers] caving vehicle related How many cave rescue teams do you know that have their own rescue vehicle ? http://cavingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/cro3.jpg -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

About a year ago, I posted something about new diesel SUV's with 4WD.I was hoping by now, that there would be a rugged SUV on the market with a diesel engine, but that does not seem to be the case. Audi has a diesel SUV, if you don't mind spending $ 52,000 plus. http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009/07/q7fortrock-526x350.jpg I haven't seen it yet, but it is rumored to be available. It has All-Wheel Drive, but it doesn't look rugged enough to take up into the mountains. Would you drive it up to Pink Panther Cave ? ( Maybe in the snow, with tire chains ? ) The best diesel SUV choice now, seems to be to find a used one on the web. The Ford Excursion was readily available in a real 4 wheel drive with solid axles front and back. I thought I heard that 2005 was the last year, but there seems to be plenty of those available on the web. Jeep stopped making the diesel version of the Liberty in 2006, and you can find those on the web now. I heard the motor gave owners trouble, and they are expensive. Jeep had a Grand Cherokee last year that was a diesel, but I think they were rare. ( There is one for sale in Bonham, TX on e-bay. ). Jeep's web-site does not list the diesel motor as an option on the 2009 model. Has anybody seen a late model diesel Suburban lately ?I don't recall seeing one for years. I am disappointed in the SUV market at the moment. All the new SUV's seem to look a like, and most are either ugly or silly or just not meant for off-road, and all are way way over-priced. Here is something for you diesel lovers out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG5XUru7jZYfeature=related David Locklear
