Deepest I've ever gone was the bottom of my bumper (I've a 3" and 31's so whatever that equals to). I don't want to take the chance of locking it up since it's my DD.

 

I think I know who lead you into that one!!

 

There's a video on you tube of a xj dropping out of a huge pipe and he drives out while his buddie is yelling at him to kill it haha

 

Ya I saw that one its a submarine not a jeep haha.

 

In my TR untill I **** my self. In my dd untill I'm shure it up to the lights. My TR has a snorkel I put in after I could put 4 fingers in the side of the block of the first motor. Lol I'm a slow learner. I think my xj can do anything!!!!!!

 

Yeah I was thinking I would be fine if I kept the lights above water is anybody else in agreement with this. It is not close to airfiliter PO said thats how high he had it and he was on same trail I go on.

 

i had sold my brother my 96 4x4 xj and he was driving thru water about to the bumper. next thing you know the nose goes under and comes back up. stalls. we pulled out the filter wouldnt start. kept spraying it with carb cleaner finally got it turning over again and fire right up. all he had to replace was the tps and filter. he got lucky!

 

Shot mine threw a small pond. when it got stuck, the back window was completely submerged.

Pulled the plugs, cranked it until the battery died.

Put plugs back in, pulled the air filter out right from the intake manifold and started right up.

well 1000 miles down the road, I threw a rod... the piston side of the rod went threw the oil pan? so it "pulled" in half. If you put the 2 sides together, it looks like it bent and than got streached apart... I think i bent a rod



I'll keep my tires dry on my "good" jeep

 

Yall really need to get a boat just a thought. kayak take your pick


saw that video a while back an haven't laughed that hard since, think the guy drives a yota.

 

seen a guy in a samari on youtube drive into a lake and completely submerge it and drive back out, had a snorkel that was like 2-3 foor above he roof though

 

^^^ can anyone post that vid with the xj droppin out of a pipe?

 

If you look close, and its the vid im thinkin of, its got a snorkle on it. Its kinda hard to see it.

I've heard of some people taking a waterproof rubbermaid comtainer and modifying it to hold the PCM, but I've never done this. Be careful as you could run into heat issues.

Siliconing the cap shut is also reccomended, and its not hard to do. Just use the correct silicon.

I've read you can move the alternator to where the AC compressor sits, which is much better than the lowest point in the serp system, esp for deep water and mud.

I saw a Suzuki Samuri form the UK that went in water almost up to the ceiling. The guy must've been breathing from his nose cuz you could barely see the windshield any longer. That truck was diesel powered, though, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

 

Its a land crusier, but it show how usefull a snorkle can be.
