I will try to replicate it this evening.

My camera phone does video but my work PC does not have the latest Quick Time update so I cannot play it. Here is alink to it. Maybe it'll work?? Other wise here is a pic i got of the road.

Look deep enough to do any damage to my lifted KJ?

That picture of Mickey dees reminds me of the trip i took to indian lake and going through the McDonalds drive thru in my bass boat.

When you hear a beep look on you odometer, it will tell you if you have a door open, low washer fluid, low fuel all kinds of stuff, I read somewhere that you can go through water that is up to the middle of your headlights without causing a problem, but then again mine is a standard, i have run down creeks deeper than the water in those pics, you should be fine remember it IS a jeep.....

Mickey Ds in a Bass boat.... After a bad of fishing I guess. LOL It was definately the rear glass. I got it to beep again while I didn't have wake from other cars coming at me. Still got an appointment to change some fluids for the sake of my Christmas voyage.

I might have figured out the beep. I had the rear glass open to throw out the line. That must have been it.....

So I just got done rescuing an Explorer in about a foot and a half of rain water....on a major road. It's pourin like a mofo down here. Pretty sure he's screwed but Ihope I'm not. I had to sit there for a minute while we strapped up and then as I am getting ready to tug a little beep went off, similar to the low gas warning only I am not out of gas. Anyone else had this happen? I probably outta have the xmission fluid changed ASAP huh?

You should at least have it checked, and the diffs as well. I am going to get a camera just to keep in the jeep, so that when I have a story like this no one can say--- Where are the PICTURES!

nor rain nor sleet nor snow nor water deep enough to flood an engine, McDonald's is always open and selling artery clogging food and we love it

Yeah, having the flipper glass open while driving will definitely cause a beep. It should stop beeping after some time, though. On my EVIC I could clear it.

I drive around alot with my rear glass open and I have to push the latch in to get the beeping to go away. Im sure thats what it was.. Usually, if the water isnt above the rocker rails, you are fine. I believe jeep says you can go through 20 inches of water with out problems, and thats from jeep. Many people do not know this, but that trail rated badge does have a meaning, and one of them is water forwarding at least 20 inches of water. You can get on Jeep.com and read about all that stuff.

The headlight rule of thumb is so you don't get any water into your intake, which sits at headlight level. I've heard that you should change the diff lube if you submerge the axle for more than a few moments.

Ever heard that song? Anyhow it is a real cool place, the lake has a McDonalds that you can drive thru in your boat.Yep right on the water.And theres a few streets where the front yards go down to the lake to a dock with winches to pull there boats up in the winter.The back yard just goes to the street so you can jump in your car and leave town .Theres also a bar or two and a couple of other buisnesses that you can also just tie up your boat and go on in.Ask jegger or some of the others on here from ohio that might of been there.
