The bad thing is sometimes you need speed to get through water/ mud. It just shouldn't be something we have to worry about in a jeep n

 

Of course we all know to take it slow, but what about large puddles on the street. I have been driving in the rain at 35-40 when suddenly there is 6 inchs of water washing across the road. I ve tossed a water fall up and over my jeep. Should be scared?

 

Yeah.. That can hydrolock a Jeep just as driving through water on trails can.

 

Is it just our jk that have this issue? I live on a1000 acre farm and have played in mud and water in our vehicles all my life and have never had an issue in any vehicle.

 

my diesel has SAME airbox, never had thisi ssue, when Istanbul flooded, I went through water no problem, now seeing this makes me hate USDM JK's.:(

 

What is usdm?

 

US Domesti Market, as in US Model rubicon, I had EUDM, model. Diesel rubicon back in Istanbul, now that im in US I got USDM

 

I mean come on guys, its a JEEP, Not an Honda S2000 with a Cold Air Intake located under the bumper!!!, That guy should sue Jeep for the publicity images falsely advertising their off-road capability on water crossings,I must have been real lucky in my CRD...

 

Ok thanks. There are several people on here that wheel in deep water and have never had a problem. So I take whAt I see online with a grain of salt.

 

I went through flooded streets that passed my fog lights in standing height, actually scratch that, I HAULED ASS through it in my stock airbox, CRD Rubicon, nothing happened, zip, zero, only damage was my left HID fog went out, ballast got soaked, NOW I'm doubting my rubi's capability compared to diesel
