Nope it hasn't... I've been stuck in mud but it didn't flow in. And now I'm rocking a 6.5 inch long arm lift on 35s. So probably won't be happening anytime soon.
It's really sad. I don't even have a cool story to go along with it. Sleeping when Mother Nature decided to **** all over my parade. Flooded my parking lot. Jeep was half way up the windshield with flood water. I am still not sure if I will ever get her running again. ��
Engine: Golen 4.6 Stroker, AFE Headers, 62mm TB, 24 LB Injectors, Brown Dog kit, HF Cat, 3" Exhaust
I cracked an engine block driving across a freezing cold river (snow melt/6500 feet/extremely fast current) in a previous XJ. Not mud but it was flowing through the Windows in about an hour after the force of the river sunk it deeper.
I then buried the same XJ after fixing it in a pond to where it was pouring in the Windows...
Not something I have done since reaching adulthood nor do I want to haha.
If it didn't run/suck in any water and hydrolock, you'll be fine. Good luck!
but I did swamp it once. Killed a speaker-- or so I thought. It definitely had water incursion...and I guess it was just full of silt/mud. one day I was turning up my one speaker (never bothered to replace blown up rears since back seat is always down and the dogs sit there) as loud as it would go...and started hearing a little sound from the swamped speaker...kept blasting it and finally it was fine. So... a JVC speaker can take getting covered in water and mud and come back to life if your stereo goes to 11 and can blast the dried mud off.

I have had several trucks and my XJ in water over the hood several times when crossing creeks. Most of those times were known crossing places to me but we had severe rain storms the week before that washed or changed the crossings.
My wife loved everyone of them also as none were in the summer and warm water, thank God for winch's and tractors that got them all out.
My XJ was nearly that bad when I bought it. Worse in some ways... It ran well though...and that's the only reason why I bought it.
Glad to hear you've got it running again. Everything else is just elbow grease. If you are gonna be parking in that lot again often, you might just rip all the carpet out and bedliner the inside and put in some drain plugs.
