Drill some drain holes in your floorboards and lift it higher and put bigger tires on it.

Do you guys not have 4 drainplugs in yours? 2 in the front on each side two in the back on each side? To the OP I think that you can't seal an xj, maybe by driving it into a large tank and sealing it shut....

Of course all XJs have drain plugs but, if you don't pull them out your Jeep will still fill up with water.

I was just going with what 2door97 said. He goes through 3 feet of water regularly. If he's going through water that deep, especially with a stock height XJ, he'll need more than just the factory drain holes to ge the water out before his feet get wet.
