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.

this was a little deeper than I thought... hahaha when I pulled it out, I took the air filter out and it was wet. I turned it over and it sputtered for a sec and fired right up. Other than the wet muddy carpet it was fine! i usually check the depth first but a buddie on cf (no names hahaha) said i'd be fine

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

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

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.
