so after mudding pretty hard last week, I had been on a trail with multiple mud pits and large puddles. the last puddle that I had "gone through" was DEEP. the water was an inch from coming into the cabin. the water covered the 4 rims. even with my 3 inch lift I got stuck... I was in there for 45 minutes trying to get out. eventually I did. my question is that knowing how long it was in there and the depth, is there any water where it should not be? intake for the engine was well away from the water.

water was deep the length of the jeep. the rest was 2 inches deep. luckily the airbags didn't go off!!!!
cleaned off the brakes before I went anywhere after I got out as well.

Stock jeep besides the lift and shocks and other minor mods.

You've got four breather lines, the rear axle being the lowest... Check out this how to viewtopic.php?f=104&t=44164

thanks. found just about every other post but this one.

ill just extend the front and rear lines. if my transmission and tcase go under water we have other issues before that. eventually do a gear swap next year.
