not that deep yet...my first run this Spring, a guy hydrolocked and blew up his motor on a water pass I had just gone through....wasn't that deep, but I decided to take it easy in the water until I get a snorkle on.

Damn those poodles straight to hell. All stuck up and whatnot because of breed superiority and those extra sweet hair do's people give them.:lol:

Ummm the deepest with my current Jeep was about and inch over my stock 225 tires. Previous Jeep.....with 33's and a three inch lift the deepest was an inch or two below the highest point on the hood. It was a 2000 sport.

Actually if it was stock Federal DOT regulatons would supercede state DOT.  It's a bit wird thought.  This is because the Feds deem it safe and legal.  Although if you change/modify it in any way, it won't be legal.

For example, lets take the new JK. The new JK had huge fender/flares attached to the front.  I'd have to believe that state DOT's would call it a flare and not a fender.  Many states have flare laws that so not allow extended flares past stock.  If you modified the flares they might deem them not stock and cite you for them even though they might cover the same area.  It would be stupid if they did it that way, but I'm sure they will.

thats water.. ive seen worse.. youve got a ways of safety left there....


cold how could.. we go in our cj2/3a's with bicinitops and half doors all fall for hunting and during derr hunting and its been below zero on more than one ocation... but then again we have 2 heaters in both the jeeps....

but on a side not iv sleped overnight outside with nothing but 2 sleeping bags and a tarp when it got down to -34 degrees f that night.. that was cool....realy cold..

ow ya and to put into perspective how f**d up the dnr in mn is... one weekend we went up to our hunting area adn tthey closed the forest becasue it was too wet adn mudy.... but the kicker was it was below zero the whole weekend so everything was frozzen!!!! :rant: ... but we found some trails that didnt have trail closed signs so we hunted as normal.. escept we couldnt camp in our camp site :cry: ..


ow ay and 1 m,ore exzample.. one time when we were 4wheeling up there the trails were too wet to drive on but the ground was to drive to have a fire...... ya the dnr in mn is retarder

Well, I was following my buddy's Scout on 38" Swampers through a river crossing, so we didn't get pics, but with my 4.5" of total lift on 32s, I was in enough water to start floating.  The only thing that kept me from becoming a boat was flooring it to keep enough forward momentum to make it that last 20-30 feet to where the riverbed began to slope upward and out.  In another crossing at almost the same location, I had half of my tail lights underwater as I was climbing the bank on the other side, but that was only about half the rig.

This was later in the day when he didn't make it the first time and thought he could on the second run with more speed.  



2 months before the above pic, about 400' from where that one was taken.

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.
