I've been to the bottom of my doors, not quite sure how deep that is. That was before the 31s too

i wish i had a pic of it but i had water up to my windows man. dam near **** my pants. went muddin with a friend and he has a chevy pickup. he went through the extremely soupy mud pit and the water was half way up his doors so i took a different line hoping it wasnt as deep and i was wrong
as soon as i felt the front drop another foot i just floored it and prayed. came out dry too but i got mud and water in my T.P.S. that was a pain to figure out thought i got water in the intake but luckily it was only the T.P.S.

Not my XJ but in my wifes Patriot I was to the windows. It has a mini snorkle and water fording package. It was at night and couldnt even see the headlights. Thats about the only thing its good for. Deffinately not good in mud. Ask me how I know. It does go like he&* in the snow and ice. My XJ is for the mud and rocks and hills.

deepest i've ever been was when the water just started to trickle through the doors. way too deep for me. water does too much damage to justify the fun factor.
