Doesn't look hung bad at all. Definitely want to clean and flush everything like everybody is saying.

A come a long should get you out. Or anyone with a machine that will get back there.

One good thing about stock jeeps. They don't dig that big of holes

thanks for that that link weld3z

honestly I don't know where to start.. clean everything with a powerwasher i'm guessing? the air filter is wet and the box too so i was just thinking of taking apart the upper part of the engine. change some internals while i'm at it. definitely need a new alternator so im going to run to autozone and see what they got and get some wd-40 while im at it.

i'm really second guessing my choice of signature right about now..

if its my jeep this what i well do
it has coils correct ? if yes i well dry the coils pack change the sparks plugs oil change ,alternator then i well check how she run
if every thing fine complete with deff,trans oil sea foam well be nice in this situation you dont need a new air filter just dry it for now

before you spend on def , trans oil see how she run maybe you need a new starter or cps sensor wd40 if perfect product but not for every thing , dont forget your pin , pcm pins try to clean them also

you think i should just start it before checking the engine for water? if i take the plugs out and turn it over that wont do any damage if there is water correct?

no it well not,
you should crank it to see what you need , let us know if it crank or no ?
if it cranking just keep her tell she warm see oil pressure and let us know

it was not that deep !!
dont start the jeep with wet air filter inside , just take the filter and start it

even if there is water in the engine this well not damage any thing !!!! you well not drive it just 1 min see how she run and what you need to replace if you need starter how you well know that if you need CPS if if !! start it for a min see if she runs or no if you crank and not start don't try again maximum 2 times

Don't listen to these idiots. Do not try to start it until you make sure you don't have water in the cylinders, water does not compress. Pull ALL the spark plugs out and try to crank it over, this should dump any water out of the cylinders. If the starter is shot and won't turn it over put a 3/4" socket and a cheater bar on the crank and manually try and turn it over.
