More useful for river crossings that you don't know the depth. Though if the current is to strong, you might end up downstream a ways.

Happened to a guy I knew, never heard from him again. In a way it was kinda sad. He had something close to this.

You usually have to fab a setup up yourself.. I could hook ya up but it won't be cheap, but can you really put a price on safety?

Sure you can, I'll fabricate some pontoons for him for 200 bones!

It will be hard to keep it balanced out properly with air bags.... Try air mattresses...

since i don't live in price anymore, i was thinking more like 55gal drums. then use some mudflaps between the body and the drums so as not to scratch the paint.

Right on, I know its been done, seen plenty of pics. Just not really my thing lol I also don't think they can give as much body protection as a rock slider. (for those who still care )
