Went wheeling in Disney, OK at Grand Lake by the dam and almost lost my jeep to a 15 foot deep water hole. There is a small ledge under the water that you need to hug and stay on to make it to the other side. Well I strayed to far away from the ledge and that's when it started to sink. The water was all the way up to the top of the drivers seat. My passenger and myself got out of the jeep to stand on the right rear tire to keep it from rolling into the water hole so we could hook up a winch. We hooked up two winch lines. One to stabilize and one to recover. Luckily the only damage the jeep suffered was wet carpets as this could have been a total loss. Anyone else ever come this close to losing their jeep while offroading?

 

wwwwwwwooooooooah

 

Thanks echo, you can see the only thing saving my jeep was the right front tire hanging on for dear life. Truly a scary feeling.

 

Holy F!! Thank god all was well!

 

Kinda wish I had a video of it all going down.

 

HOLY SH#%!

I'm glad everything worked out man.

 

WOW

You got lucky that the water went over the driver's side, not the passenger side. Had it gone that deep, but just over the passenger side instead, it would have hydrolocked your engine for sure

There are actually some back ways into the trails that do not involve water crossing. Last time I was up there we used them because the water was too deep. You end up having to go through Tijuana.

Next time we're all out there together I can show you if you'd like

 

Thanks Jason. I got lucky in so many ways it wasn't even funny. I left the engine running the whole time too even when I got out. I didn't know if my tailpipe was underwater so I didn't shut it off. I actually can't wait to go back as there are so many bad ass trails out their from mild to wild. I want to try little blue and the waterfall but that day I had used up all of my luck and didn't want to take anymore chances. For the rest of the day everytime we crossed through water I was scared ****less!

 

I saw the teaser pic in another thread... I have been waiting to see the rest of the pics. Glad you got out of there! BTW you have one bad ass Jeep I love the look of AEV's products.

 

Glad it all came out good and with a good story. I will have to watch out for that ledge !!!!!!
