Plenty....his water wasn't very high to some other water crossings I have done and seen. The doors are very tight unless you just have a bad seal to begin with. The KJ is tight...tight...tight

Give it a try if you are up for it. Just don't try and be a submarine.

Yeah that'll get you the first half of that badge of respect.....these TJ guys really make you earn it when you're in something other than a Wrangler....so if you do get lifted and locked .... get it out there and show them what we can do.....and don't forget the pics!!! :wink:

How deep can you go anyway before you get water in the Airbox? The manual sais the maximum depth you can go through is 20 inch

but I guess thats kinda low. Maybe until it reeches the grille? Another question, what 4 wheel drive mode can u drive on road, Part time or Full time? I think it is full time but Everytime I drive it on road and I do turns, it feels like the KJ is under alot of tension, like something is locking up.

Full time is for on-road use and part time is for off-road

Its called wheel binding and its not good. If you want to have it in 4WD on dry roads then leave it in FULL-TIME.

The air intake on mine is about an inch over top of the passenger headlight. The deepest part of that crossing I did, it got about half way up the headlights. Didn't have an issue, my engine was brown when I opened the hood, and my radiator was chunked up with stuff out of the water and mud.....but no issues to complain about. :wink:

I always have it in FULL TIME when Im in 4WD on raod, but Im still getting wheel binding. Do I need to get something fixed?

Are you sure that you are in full-time? That just sounds a little wierd....
Why do you need the full-time in Alabama anyways? Do you get a lot of rain or something this time of year? I could understand if there was an ice storm or heavy snowfall but its April.

I'd look in your owner's manual and read up on what it says. Or spend 500-600 bucks on a decent set of tires. Then you won't need the 4WD until you start wheeling in that famous red clay you guys have!!!

I hear you! Where I am I am the only KJ that goes wheeling, and I must say I get some good laughs because of my Jeep and because I'm a women.
But my Hubby has A true kick booty YJ so that helps me, this summer we are putting a Rocky Road 2.5" lift on her, and getting some 31's for her as well.
Then the tube bumper......with a pre-runner flair.
Next I want to kick some booty!!!!
They might have some decent rigs, but most of them aren't that "with it".
and couldn't drive to save themselves. :lol:
