Flooding and my Liberty

I have to say that it's been handling it great. I'm not stupid enough to drive into moving water but I have gone through some pretty deep stuff. I dragged my neighbors Expedition out of his driveway in 2 1/2 feet of water with it too. It's been interesting.

I know what you mean, when Irene was here it flooded so bad in places that i was driving with water cresting over my hood and although I do have a snorkel I was still impressed with the ease that the KJ took to the water.

If you haven't extended your breather tubes you probably got water in your fluids (engine, difs, T-case, transmission.) The air box is up very high but some of the breather tubes are only about 18" - 24" of the ground. It's the cheapest mod you can do to your Jeep that will save you the most money in the long run and only takes about an hour. There's a great write up about it somewhere on this site.

I learned that the hard way a while ago. It's been done already. I don't have any water in my fluids luckily. Thanks for the heads up anyway.
