Holy wow! I didn't notice the exhaust either!!!
That's freakin hilarious.
So, where's the snorkel?
Also, when you submerge the Jeep what happens when your bedroom wall gets wet, swells up and turns to mush? Or do you assume you have it sealed well enough to not get wet?
That's freakin hilarious.

Fwiw I think it LOOKS great, it's just incredibly unsafe and really stressful on the unibody. Pull the wood and let someone redo it in steel the same way and you're really on to something. It does actually look really good and would serve as a good mock up for doing it the right way.
