Well I picked up a DFLE and that's probably the last knife I will be buying in quite some time. I really hope I get that package before my wife does or else I may be in a world of hurt. I said I would have pics of my Jeep run and I do. One pic.

I may have totaled my Jeep in an unlucky water crossing. I should find out tomorrow if I got any water in the intake which will may spell the demise of my Jeep. I had just crossed this going the other way and my dad did as well in his Jeep (as well as a few other vehicles) and the water was about 8 inches, standard fair for a lifted 4 wheeler. For whatever reason, I hit a soft patch of silt on the way back and within about 30 minutes the running water removed the silt from underneath my tires and my tub was filled. It took 2 V8's to pull me out 3 hours in to this ordeal. I drove it out to a garage after I drained the tub of water. It started after sitting in the water for 3 hours. I could not believe it. No one was hurt and that's what matters but my stomach is still in knots after watching my Jeep fill with water and not being able to do a darn thing about it.

ohhh boy

I feel for ya, man that sucks !!!!!

Man that bites, I hope it all works out for yuh bud, Depending on how strong the current is I am surprised that your door didn't get folded over.

I know it's no consolation, but that is a great picture and a great story! Hopefully everything is OK with the rig and it doesn't set you back too much.

That sucks! Let us know how you make out.

Glad no one was hurt. I hope it turns out alright. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Good luck with that DFLE package too when it arrives. Just tell her you've got to make something for it, so it was sent directly to you first... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That really stinks! To bad you didn't have a snorkel on your jeep.


If you want........I could take that Dog Father off your hands for $150......help with the repair bills and keep the wife off your back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

OH NO!!!!!!

Looks like you were having fun...LOL

Glad no one was hurt.

Hope everything is ok with the Jeep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It looks bad but I think you are going to be OK. I have seen lots of 4X4's come back from this. Even if the worst happened and you got water in your intake you may be able to do like 6 oil changes and get enough water out so that you can run it. You probaly shut it off in time anyway though. Unless the engine was running and sucking water in it you were not deep enough to get in the engine. You should check from the airbox to the intake man really carefully <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I know your jeep will rise again.

Can't help with the old lady though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

smoke for Jeeps Jeep! may she bounce you once again!!
