This was a couple weeks ago. Water line on the airbox was about 2 inches from the intake and the pedals were under water inside, but the trans sucked in water and I lost 2nd and 3rd gear (auto). Should be fixed soon.



I also have an auto and wondering where you think the contamination happened. I've moved the breather up to the brake booster for the trans and t-case. Front diff breather is still up near radiator.
Next, where do you think the water got into the interior?

My guess is drain holes! or where your shifters go into your body, there are a bunch of holes in your body that will leak.

The drain holes might seep but they have a plastic gasket around them that's supposed to seal a bit.  The tranny hump probably leaks and I'm sure it leaks a bit where the rollbar mounts to the floor.  I know mine drains from there.  You'd probably have to take the whole interior out and reseal everything if you wanted it more water tight.

It came in the breather, I was unaware of the issue before this happened. Factory extends the breathers for the diffs but not the trans, WTF is up with that? The water inside came from the drain plugs. I keep them out all summer as I run with a safari top and no doors rain or shine and forgot to put them back in when I put the top back on.

There is another breather on the tcase. Take a look at that also.
The trans breather is a PITA to take apart and extend. It has a 'hat' on the tube. You'll need to pry it off, add some tube, and bring it up. Some people 'T' the extensions for the trans and tcase, but I kept mine separate.

Repost!   :whistle:   I posted that FJ40 a while back.  Pretty amazing how deep they went.  Of course you wouldn't want to try the same with a electronically controlled gas engine.

I used to have a picture of a 2.5T from WWII that had a snorkel that was about 4-5ft higher then the windshield frame.  The guy driving it had scuba gear and drove it completely under water.  It was really impressive how robust things were built in the early day's.

Yes, but the carpet was still in and DID stop the water from getting out. It was a lake until I got back and cut a hole in it for the water to drain.

...and it did add to the fun!
